« on: Tue, 11 August 2009, 10:55:16 »

Could you give this in degrees Kelvin, please? We should really adapt to SI units as soon as possible.

It's been over 100 F here for about two months straight.  It's been horrible.  Who said global warming was a bunch of horsesh*t?

Hey it's Texas it's summer get over it. I would not call it horrible though. If you want horrible go to Houston where you have both the heat and the humidity to deal with (I grew up there) now that is horrible. I really dislike the constant high humidity in Houston that is the main reason I moved to Austin. So now it is dry and Hot much easer to deal with.

San Antonio's weather is a little different than Austin's.  We get the Gulf moisture that gets us as humid as Houston and Corpus.  The Hill Country keeps the moisture (and heat) from getting up towards Austin.  Also, this is one of the hottest Summers we have had in several years.  My lawn feels it.  I need to shred it and sell it as hay.

I think our hottest day this year was around 107 or 108 don't remember which. So today at only 102 was a nice day out as long as you stayed out of the sun and in the shade. I was out riding my bike today with the kids and it was nice. Just have to make sure and drink plenty of water and you will be OK. Oh just if you are wondering yes it was around 100 when we went riding but we had a little overcast and no direct sun light. If it had been a blue bird (no clouds) we would have waited a bit before going riding but still would have gone.

it's purely subjective. I've talked with people from Florida that prefer it to be not as hot, and a little humid. I sweat like a pig in Orlando, my blood was made for Vegas weather.

With that said come move to Vegas, so I can geek out with someone about keyboards :P

My self I prefer dry heat over humid heat. In dry heat at least sweat works the way it is supposed to. When I lived in Houston we had a saying that went something like this.
"Going out side is like taking a shower except you stink" What is meant by this is as soon as you walk out the door you are covered in sweat that does not evaporate until you walk into the AC.

After going to Florida for vacation I can say I would not like living there. Way to humid but at least it was not as hot as Houston.

Yeah, florida sucks big time for humidity during July,August and September. The winter months are quite nice though. Its cool and dry most of the time. But then again, Phoenix was very nice in the winter time too.
