I love working in a lab with proper air conditioning. It's actually <i>cold</i>.
Admittedly, this means that I DIE when I go out for lunch, but you can't have everything.

And I thought I was alone thinking cool's cool, and heat I don't need.
(Oh shi how're those brews of yours coping with the heat?)

I hate heat. By the time we reach June I'm already dreaming of November, and I tend to get headaches when it's too hot. To me, anything above 25ºC is excessive. And unfortunately this Summer, and particularly this last week, has been way too hot. The average temperature lately is around 34ºC. But we already had days when it reached nearly 40ºC. The worst part is spending the day in the office with air conditioning, then around 6pm leaving: as soon as I step out of the building it seems as if the hot air is some kind of huge mass bumping into me, almost capable of throwing me off my feet.
Damn, I hate Summer. Should have been born in Iceland :p

In random defense of anyone anywhere near San Bernadino right now...
How hot do things have to get before they BURST INTO FLAME?!
Shit, that even makes me feel a
little better about things here.
I'm not sure they just burst into flame, The explanation they gave for the fires here was lightning strikes. We had moist weather come up from the south apparently and combine that with INTENSE heat and we get thunderstorms.
I live approx. 15 miles west of San Bernadino, the daytime temp here has been around 106 and for the last few days Humidity. HUMIDITY in southern cal?
Thats just ridiculous. Anyway how hot has it been in san Berdoo? around 115. With fires covering 100,000 acres in the deserts near there and in yucca valley.
You want hot? Try palm springs, 130 F daytime temp. Now thats hot.
But I hear they had temps around 117 up in North Dakota !!!! Thats absurd.
Oh and Shug, STFU you're a damn backasswards Aussie. We Know its winter there.

I like it hot. And it's been hot here, pretty much like everyplace else apparently. But when I say hot, and the hot I like, I'm talking about Canada hot, and while my brand of Canada hot is southwestern Ontario hot, which is hotter than most of the rest of Canada hot (sometimes), it's not that sort of crazy super-hot that some folks get to deal with in more equatorial parts of the world. We're talking low to mid-30s for the past several days, although the weather guy is apparently calling for things to cool off a bit as the week progresses. I'd probably be singing a different tune if I had to deal with Real Serious Heat for any length of time, but as it is, I love this shit.

I feel lucky after reading some of these numbers. Yesterday was only about 97 ish...but humidity in Delaware is always ridiculously high so you always sweat just standing still. (Being a chunk of peninsula and all that)
But at least all my guitar strings are still intact, unlike some other poor sod!:eww:

I'm with GBM; my favorite seasons are spring and fall, and not just for the pleasant temperatures. It's the smell in the air, from the soil warming or the leaves drying out. It makes me feel nostalgic and melancholy and about 100,000 years old, like I'm remembering every fall day since the beginning of mankind. I like to think it has to do with the reptilian cortex and race memory.... But anyway, yes, hot. Here in Columbus, Ohio we've had five days of 90-plus temperatures and grossly high humidity and for four of those days my ac was out. I was thinking of sleeping in the basement, but couldn't bring myself to lie unconscious and vulnerable around the hordes of spiders down there. And I was SWEATING in a COLD SHOWER. :(
