So in the UK we seem to have a heat wave, at some point today it's going to be 32, which is kind of insane. How are you dealing with the mad heat? It's been far to hot to use my PS3 or Mac because it's incredibly hot in my room. I've been going out as often as I can, at home I stay in my living room because it's cool in there. Pretty happy I decided to buy New Super Mario Bros 2, portable gaming in the heat rocks.
Lol, in Australia a really hot day is considered 35 +. I know what its like to hate the heat though, the 40 degree days that hit in summer are enough to melt my brain. Those days, if I even dare turn on my Xbox, it sounds like a 12 pack a day smoker.
It's a matter of perspective. If you live in a hot country, you're used to the hot weather and won't notice it so much.
Reversely, if you were then to come down to the UK during normal temperatures, you'd probably think it was freezing, even though those from around there might be going around in t-shirts.
It's so fucking hot. I hate it. I'm just staying in my goddamn room where I can manage the heat. I had to sleep with the door open last night :( Loads of flies got in.
Gotten to 47 around here as of late, and while you might think you get used to that kind of heat, you really don't. Particularly when a "cold" front comes in to drop it to 38. ha. And then you just get rain and mosquitos carrying a disease we can't currently treat. It's not the best. Though, hey, that's summer time for ya. Another month or so and it will get nice-ish. Still love this crazy place though.
It's cooled off the last couple of days here in Colorado. But yeah, it's been pretty hot, and I've been staying inside with my fans turned on full-blast.
Here in southern Oregon we've had it be 105+(40c) for like 2 weeks now. Which is pretty insane around here, it gets hot here but never 100 for 2 weeks. It's also been smoggy as all hell because of forest fires in the area.
The worst bit is the humidity and the cloud. I don't mind when it's sunny, I don't mind when it's cloudy and cold, I don't mind when it's raining, but when it's thick cloud but it's still hot and muggy it frustrates me.
In the UK we never get it that hot, for most of this summer it's been about 12-16. To me, anything over 20 is too hot.
I am just all rugged up, heater on, enjoying the snow and days around 10 degrees and nights of -5 degrees. It is a winter wonderland where I am, but I will be complaining about the heat in about 6 months when it is Summer. I also dislike anything over 20 degrees, which is why I moved south and to the mountains. This is August weather in my parts, last week on my drive home from work:
Highest we've had here this summer was 39(outside) and it got to like 43 inside the house. Put up a fan and it cooled it down and gaming joy was had. Not a lot of noise comes through when using a headset which is always nice unless I'm watching movies of course.
I have just cranked my window open full and left the door ajar. Also only wearing t-shirt and shorts so it hasn't been too bad. But can't play anything for more than 3 hours atm because my room is small so just becomes a hotbox. When it gets too hot, I just go outside and read some comics or manga
It's been cooling off a bit here in North Carolina, which is weird because the middle of August is usually roasting. Does this mean we'll have a cool winter after this hot summer? I don't know, but I really hope so. I love winter, especially the cold.

@JoMate My fan make to much noise for me to concentrate on the game, plus when it's super hot I'm just not in the mood.
Air conditioner and headphones. This summer was almost 100 (Fahrenheit) all the time, so my gaming was done with a window unit blowing constantly and liberal use of headphones turned up.

32? That's not really that hot.

That's the southern and mountainous part of Australia? Damn, I should move there. Looks like the kind of place I'd love.
Depends on where you live. I used to live in Cyprus where it would hit 40-45 degrees during the summer and it's nowhere near as bad as it is now in London because there's air conditioning wherever you go. In London, 32 is pretty freaking hot because no one has air conditioning. Very few restaurants/coffee shops/etc have them and even if they do they have it on the lowest possible setting just to conserve energy. Plus, all the buildings here are pretty much build to keep in the heat. And of course there's the utter joy in using public transportation in this goddamn inferno.
its basically so hot here that i could not sleep, its now 26 hours since i last slept. i have to go to work in 3 so cant really sleep for another 14 hours. on the bright side i have gotten a lot of sun and im going to sleep fantastic tomorrow hopefully
it depends on what you are used to and the humidity.
Humans are very sensitive to humidity, as the skin relies on the air to get rid of moisture. The process of sweating is your body's attempt to keep cool and maintain its current temperature. If the air is at 100-percent relative humidity, sweat will not evaporate into the air. As a result, we feel much hotter than the actual temperature when the relative humidity is high. If the relative humidity is low, we can feel much cooler than the actual temperature because our sweat evaporates easily, cooling us off. For example, if the air temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius) and the relative humidity is zero percent, the air temperature feels like 69 degrees Fahrenheit (21 C) to our bodies. If the air temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 C) and the relative humidity is 100 percent, we feel like it's 80 degrees (27 C)
so yeah
right now where i live we have 32 C and we are now down to about 62% humidity but we had 92% pretty much most of the day
