Title: Why is it hot??
Post by: blancoisma on May 15, 2008, 03:06:31 PM
BLAH! I live by the coast in Mendocino County, so it's always cold here. And for some ungodly reason, it's hot here. Like, in the 90's. I don't care that others might say "that's nothing" , it's hot here. Bring back the cold!

I pray to Jesus that San Jose NOT be hot during Fanime. Cause otherwise, me wearing four layers of cosplay might kill me, among others XP

I'm a few blocks from the Con.  It's HOT.

But right now I'm just chillin' inside the library with the nice AC.

Oh, and don't wear four layers.

But, but, I must. You have no idea how much this cosplay is kicking my ass. It MUST be worn! Maybe I should figure out a way to build an A/C system into it XD

Ugh, lucky sod with the A/C in the library. I'm stuck at my desk here at work and we have NO air circulation. I've got every f'ing fan going and it's still hot.

It's so hot, plus what sucks is I have physical education today. ._.
103 outside... Yeah. Not fun at all.

I live in the bay area and it is getting pretty hot in general. It's really annoying going to school in this heat.
Inland will possibly be in the 100s this weekend (well at least that's what the weatherman said on abc7.)

Good luck with your cosplay. Wearing four layers seems killer. I'd stick around indoors more if I were you.

Darn heat wave right now. But then I'm thinking that people in other parts or the world have it worse than we do. XD

I'm taking a (non swimming) gym class in the summer as SJCC. Should I drop it and get my refund on it? I wanna know how bad the weight room is during that time.

Post by: mDuo13 on May 15, 2008, 10:16:35 PM
How heat waves occur (thanks Wikipedia)

In the summer in warm climates, if there is an area of high pressure with little or no rain and clouds, there is nothing to protect the air and ground from being heated excessively. When large high pressure air is trapped, the ground and air will continue to heat and the heat wave will last longer.

The position of the jet stream is very important because the air on one side is hot while the other side is cold. Heat waves are far more likely and more severe when you are on the hot side. Sometimes the jet stream does not move far enough to make many areas that normally get hot on the hot side; but sometimes many cold areas are made hot abnormally. The effects of El Niño and La Niña (opposite reaction to El Niño) can severely disrupt the positions of the jet streams.

Large desert zones and dry areas are more likely to get extreme heat because there is rarely any high cloud cover with very low humidity, making it like a furnace.

The direction of the wind is a very important part of the reasons for heat waves, because this pushes hot air towards colder areas if they are going away from the deserts and equator. The higher the force of the wind as well as the distance they travel from the hotter to colder areas, generally means hotter weather.

Cities also get hotter because they generate heat from the use of power, usually by about 1-2 °C or so and experience very warm night time minimum temperatures putting further strain on energy demands.

Humidity also has a serious effect on how hot it feels but this does not make the actual temperature any hotter. Heat Waves in Eastern North America and the British Isles are usually accompanied by high humidity, aggravating the heat index (one's discomfort), as oppposed to the drier heat typically experienced during heat waves in continental Europe, Western North America or cities in Australia.

Fscking Daystar is doing it again this year. Anybody that ain't lugging around a crate of water bottles and cartons of salt to prevent death by dehydration- and then death by water overdose- during the convention is a fool and a damn fool.

Okay, maybe not that bad. The convention center's got decent A/C, and the water fountain, if memory serves me well, is so cold as to hurt your teeth. Stay indoors, and you won't get hurt.

Beat me to it.

It's 86 degree air temperature here in downtown san jose at the moment, that's fairly warm but hardly what would be "hot".
humidity around here is 42% at the moment, which is slightly stuffy.  nothing bad.

"One thing I hate about hot weather is that... you can't do anything about it. Same with wind. At least with cold weather, you can add clothing RIGHT!?!? RIGHT?!?!?!!??!?!"

I have always found myself saying the same thing, seeing as though I only moved out from philly a month ago....Yesterday, it reached 109 in the sun ... so says my therm in my car anyways (which never fails to upset me with its lies...)

But, I will give cali the credit...in philly it would reach 105 in the summer, but with 80-90% humidity..I'd say the dry heat is a nice change.

I think....I'm really going to miss the snow :(

I R Sad now...will somone make it snow for me this winter...I miss the white fluffy flakes of icy wetness landing on my tongue as I stand outside on my balcony at 2am...so quiet and serene...a halo around the moon,  The bright white adding a deep reddish hue to the clouds.

.sigh.

Oh well...atleast there are mountains and vineyards and cows here.

anyway FANIME ISH TEH SOON = WIN!!!

The one thing you can do in this heat is go hang out in places that have air conditioning. For example, your local Borders. I've pulled that once or twice before.

During winter, you can just keep adding layers until you are comfortable. During the Summer, however... You can only take off so much before people start complaining.

I am in full agreement that in most parts of the globe, we are experiencing an increase in atmospheric temperature. Or, as some call it, Late Spring.

(I forgot who I stole that from...)

It be freakin' hot. The cool thing is, if Fanime gets really hot, Ranma tends to wear a tanktop, so... I be a happy camper at Fanime, yeah? :3

There's been a REAALLLLY strong wind here in Millbrae. At some point, it was so strong, it sounded like loud shrieking and it blew open the front door. I was in the kitchen cooking at the time so it really freaked me out.

But hopefully the weather will be better during Fanime. If not, it won't be too big of a deal as we'll be inside the convention center/hotel the majority of the time. :(
