YouMad.GIF Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 it's so fucking humid in NYC lately, luckily I work across the street from my place and they got AC. I go in there and sit at the bar on my day off just to get out of the sauna that is my apartment. I'm sitting in front of a fan right now feelin like spike lee in Do The Right Thing *cues up "can't stand it" by steel pulse* NYC in summer is one of the worst things ever no breeze, just heat radiating ooff glass and concrete queens isn't as bad, but manhatten is godawful every summer I was there growing up was burned into my mind as horrible But compared to the brutality here it's nothing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ink face Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 its been sunny, just really windy and cold at night the last couple of nights. *edit, HOWEVER, it beats the hell out of the 95degrees and 90% humidity everyday from may-october summer that is atlanta's. my power bills were almost $200/month paying for ac in a 2 bedroom apt.

shai Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Where in the bay is he? It's been a really cool summer here overall. If he's inland then he might be getting some heat but I'm not going to try to compare the weather here with where you're at...we get it easy, that's why I bitch when it hits the 90s here.

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It was in the 80s here today, though. 80's in the dead of summer sounds pretty dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 No living near the ocean is different than living near water rivers and lakes aren't big enough to offer any real cooling value there's a river that runs right through downtown that keeps us around 35-75% humidity for about 8 months out of the year but the ocean is a lot bigger, it's not a fluke, you can't compare a lake/ river to the ocean Tell that to the entire east coast.

shai Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 its been sunny, just really windy and cold at night the last couple of nights. I was in the city most of last week and I only saw the sun for about three hours in four days, That's not normal for SF in July. The evening fog and breeze...that's normal.

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Also wind patterns move across the globe from west to east the east doesn't get a costal wind typically it gets a warmed up current that passes over the whole country Wind doesn't blow in the same direction all over the world. Infact, rain clouds in Philly usually blow from the southwest toward the northeast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonCheadle Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 fuck this. I'm going on vacation to the northwest or something. We got summer really late this year, I can see it being a heatwave til october. The subway smells like rancid bacon that a homeless guy pissed on.

TheoHuxtable.. Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I remember those NYC subway stations being hot as fuck. I was there last summer... they need to invest in some fans/airconditioning. You walk down there and you're in an oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonCheadle Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 at least I finally found a way on to my rooftop, it's a lot nicer up there. I would rather sleep there and not in this oven. The landlord claims that it's unsafe because it was improperly tarred and resulted in a "soft roof" that someone could fall through! Probably bullshit, but how cool would it be if I fell through the ceiling, landed on someone's couch, grabbed the remote to change the channel and ate a slice of their pizza off the coffee table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It's not a fluke.... the Atlantic has warm ocean currents and the Pacific has cool currents... warmer waters means more water evaporation in to the air. Which is why the East Coast tends to be humid and the West tends to be dry, and why the southeast gets hit with hurricanes and the southwest doesn't. I was just talking to someone about this very thing. DAO you has be owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouMad.GIF Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Nights on the east coast are far cooler than down south NYC typically gets in cooling mists at night I saw you guys get some 65 degree nights in July same goes for most of the east coast including Florida compare inland Florida to east coast Florida inland Florida is a humid hot hellhole in the summer, both nights and days are horrible, but at night the coast cools. Same goes for costal south Carolina compared to the inland, same goes for Virginia beach compared to inland virginiA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 It's been mad humid here in RI the last few days, on some I can't even sit still without sweating type shit Still is nothing compared to being in Virginia a few weeks ago. 99 degree days with 100% humidity...jesus fucking christ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I still don't believe it's possible to get used to that. Unless you walk around naked or have Teflon underwear, you should die in that kind of weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsmbfan Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 In a real country, 30-35 degrees is pretty cold. by that logic; mexico > usa > canada > santa clause i guess you're right though, aint nothing more real than mexico. bring a gun. hey i see a trend here, the colder it is, the lower the crime rate. go fucking figure.

TheoHuxtable.. Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 He basically just said what I was saying. Cali is a fluke. No, because there's a given reason why Cali has low humidity, which is due to cool ocean currents. You just said it's a "fluke", meaning by random chance or luck. Not the same.

abrasivesaint Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 cali is about the size of half to 3/5 of the east coast, so it covers a lot of ground and potential for various climates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
