Most Nuts Ever 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Well, I'm not quite European but we have our own brand of muggy heat to deal with here in the South. Its actually pretty liveable right now, but that might just be the thick heat-resistant skin I grew at Bonnaroo.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yablonya 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Humidity, alright. It's stuffy as a mother up here in Phili, lol. You can't take four steps without taking a sip of water. I can see the water vapor like a heavy kind of haze all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tearose 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 35C sounds like what i'm use to. here, in sydney australia, we are having heavy rain for the first time in years, there calling it drought breaking so you can't complain, but it's so cold, and wet, very very wet, lots of flooding and people getting killed, so that's not good, that's the problem with this country, "it never rains, it pours" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BitsOfBone 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Water is all I consume in heat like this. Speaking of water, how many ice cubes u think it would take to have an ice bath? lol We have a pool but it's warmed up in the muid day sun. Plus I read that ice bathing was once a treatment for the mentally challenged, this could be the answer to all my problems lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beechcraft Bonanza 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2007 I heard it was really hot down south (it often is, but now it's a bit excessive)... Here up north it just ain't June like June is supposed to be. Every day has raindrops and it ain't so hot either, it's chilly without a coat. I think the heatwave passed us in April/May, those months were hot. Now it's all clouds and rain.
