Supposed to be 90s here today, getting warmer until 100 F on Sunday. I wish I was in Oklahoma, shoveling snow, skiing in the mountain, going for sleigh rides!

Of course, if you are complaining about humidity too, maybe you should have had a scale of salsas, rather than peppers ;)

Portal: That natural refrigeration sounds good in case a person lives somewhere off the grid. I think on our farm before I was born they kept cans of milk in the spring-fed creek, the water was really cold but it was a good little walk from the house, at least it wouldn't spoil that way. I never thought of hanging a curtain in water and letting the air flow through to cool the house, that's almost like a water cooler if there is a good breeze.

Heybro: I went outside to do some chores and it was about 11:30 a.m., stayed outdoors for 35 minutes and my face was beet red...I have adrenal problems and have always been prone to overheating from the time I was a teen.
Portal: I think that rayon fabric is one of the coolest fabrics there is, natural fibers and it is very soft and doesn't wrinkle easily like cotton, they don't make that many clothes in rayon these days, I used to have a number of shirts made from it and loved wearing them in the summer.

It's 90 here today, I would like to be in Canada.

I'm in air-conditioning too, dread getting my next electric bill. I worked outside for a total of 35 minutes a couple hours ago, first chopping a tree stump with a hatchet and then moved under the plum tree and started raking falling plums...had to come inside and take a shower to cool down---red-in-the-face hot.😡

I have to go out and bag up the plums and throw away the box of stump-chips so they can go out with tomorrow's trash and there's a guy coming to mow the yard later today. I dread going back outside, it'll mean another shower to cool down, and it takes me an hour to stop sweating even with a shower (one of the symptoms of adrenal problems)

@cherokeepatti : if you work outside you start early enough to be done by 1PM. You just have to be smart about it.

I live here because I like to wear swim trucks on Christmas Day.....

You never have to shovel sunshine either....

hhhhmmm I don't know wy that is patti... seems plausible you could get a few shirts a few sizes to big for you and they would work just as well. They last forever it seems. My only problem is out growing them from when I was younger.

Chernobyl: I would love to have that type of weather, we had rainy weather for almost a week and it was really good, low 70's for the highs..nice.

whatever the hottest pepper is and if there's a hotter one I'd say it's that one.

Icecold: That sounds really good, one day maybe they'll have them, probably not in my price range though.

the sweat wicking shirts made under armour and other companies are really good for helping to reduce body heat while slightly lowering your body heat.

The low will be in the 90's this week....

So basically it is hot enough to SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST.

I thought about a shirt that you can freeze, one lightly filled with some freezable substance.

Currently in Northern California its around 75 degrees.

Outoftheblue: Longer & looser clothing from natural fibers is really a lot cooler than what most Westerners can imagine...caftans or long cotton skirts for example.

Yep...like this:


This was last weekend....will be 120+ by Sunday...

It's weird for us this time of year for it to be that low

It's not today . It's 65 degrees and rainy

Yeah, those kerchiefs that have silicon beads in them that swell up and cool your neck off, those things are too heavy and bulky to feel very good at all, I'd rather mop my face and neck with cool water every few minutes.

it's really hot but I am on an air conditioned room so it's quite cold

Around 72F here in Canada.

95 heat index of 115

I would say... Bell pepper. It isn't hot here.

Getting close to ghost pepper today

Heybro: The hottest place I've ever been was in Las Vegas, would carry a tall cup of ice water while walking from one casino to another and when I'd get inside the water was gone and my mouth would feel like ice water....I don't think I could live in Phoenix.☀

haha *hugs*

Heybro: Spontaneous combustion, like when you put grass clippings in a trash barrel and cover it up, I've come back a couple days later and found ash layers in it.

well, you can do that too but that would probably be heavy. Like carrying a bag of water everywhere :P

96 feels like 102! Too freaking hot!

you should buy a shirt with a built in aircon hahaha

Mozgoz: for some reason most of those sweat-wicking shirts are made for men, I've seen several of them at Academy.

Right now, like a bell pepper (not hot at all). There's a nice breeze. That may change, though.

How about a selfmade one.. you only need a pair of scissors and a shit hahaha
