Oh my god it's over 30! Get back in the house!

*Yes* 32C /90F is hottish for Toronto, but sheesh. It's not any 37 or 40, let alone an Arizonian or Iraqi 50C/ 120F. (My Iraqi neighbour gets all teary-eyed remembering those invigorating 50C summers at home, especially when he's shivering through a 15C autumn afternoon in a down jacket.) I was in Tokyo the year the night temperatures stayed above 29/ 84 for weeks at a time and lived to tell the tale. Get a grip.

I agree 90f is not death.... but that doesn't mean I'm not going to complain about how hot I am ^_^

All in exposure to it. When I was in AZ visiting friends I was shorts and Ts all week and staying relativly comfortable with temps in the 90s.... then I saw the gent waiting for the bus in a formal black suit carrying a guitar in a very heavy duty case. Looking at him I was getting heat exhaustion. One of my friends said "He has to be a local. For locals this is a cool day."

But also AZ is must less humid and humidity matters at those temps.

true true... I think I could have drank from the air today here in Michigan.

I don't mind Toronto heat, but the humidity is nasty. Still not as bad as Hong Kong, though. *shudders*

Really? Remind me to stay well away from Hong Kong then. Toronto humidity is indeed nasty. Even Tokyo's, which is certainly wetter (I don't get dripping wet walking down two flights of stairs in Toronto) was somehow more bearable.

To be fair, I've only been in Hong Kong in the dead of summer, but at that point it was averaging something like 40+ degrees and was so humid that you could, as my husband always says, break a sweat brushing your teeth at 7 AM. When we got off the plane (also first thing in the morning), everything metal outside the airport had a wet film on it from the humidity. o_o

Heee! ^___^

Well you know people have to have something to complain about.... just ask any LRD-er

It's 32 today and actually quite mild and nice out I would say. May go off on a walk with the girl once she's done with her Mathematics homework.

You must be a local. ^_^ 'Cause LRD heat is certainly not dry.
