minus 1 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 My most comfortable temperature is around 20 degrees. When it gets to 25, it's a bit too hot for me. 30 and above is getting unfunny. 35 and above is just unbearable. How's about yous? Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Experienced a couple of 42 degree days, handled it better than my car! 25 is comfortable for me but every year I spend here in Hokkaido the hotter temps definitely feel hotter. That said a T-shirt and shorts at 13 degrees is now comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites

indosnm 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Don't mind the really stinking hot days in OZ. Dry and in the sea breeze while sitting in my hammok at home in the shade makes it bearable. 25 and dry is perfect here. Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 25 degrees and over in a suit sucks. but otherwise hot shmot. been in 40plus a few times, vegas, southern texas, thailand not too bad as long as you are just sitting around. hottest place i have ever been; death valley california in a 79 thunderbird with zero aircon. the thermometer was american so i have to use the archaic method here but it read 125 degrees. that's about 50degree C! i could hardly muster the energy to get out of the car and walk the 50 meters to the salt flat at -282feet below sealevel.

I would say that we might get as many as 20 days in a summer that hit the 100+ mark. Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 42 degrees! Where was that then? Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 It gets to 42 every summer in Perth, and it twice got to 47 when I lived there. That's in the shade of course. It's a fair bit hotter when you are out in the sun doing fieldwork. 10 litres water a day was normal Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 When it gets over 30 I'm pretty miserable. The humidity is the worst though when you have to move around. Not nice. Link to post Share on other sites
giggsy 0 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I've never experienced more than 35 I think and that was not good. I can't imagine 42. Link to post Share on other sites
snobee 0 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Heat - loathe it these days. In the past (distant) in South Oz I've worked by hand - shovels & picks - burying pipelines in mid 40's and hitch-hiked thru the centre in temps over 50. Now 25 is hot enough. I can't wait for the cold, so gotta get a fix in Oz in a week or so. Link to post Share on other sites
intermittent anomaly 0 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 25 is definitely hot enough. Winter is good. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I really like cold weather and "warming up". Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 The hottest I've experienced was about 38 and I did not like it at all. (Does anyone). When things get to 30 and above it starts getting too much for me. 20 is good. Link to post Share on other sites
lin 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Well living in HK I'm quite used to hot, but I do like to go to cooler places. It's one of the things I love about winter in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Humidity is worse than just the hear, both of them together is unbearable. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I think if it's over 30C, I feel sick if it's humid. Link to post Share on other sites
js 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Extremes experienced thus far: * About 50C in Oz desert - keep ALL skin covered because it's literally hot enough to fry an egg on a shovel. * -35C in Canada - ditto on skin. Blue sky day and the hairs in our noses were frozen solid! Now that's an experience. * 38C & 98% humidity in the tropics - a tad uncomfortable. Always wet and impossible to dry gear. A relative worked on the inland oil rigs - his stories of +55C temperatures lasting weeks are eye opening e.g. always wearing long clothes and helmets/gloves, can't pick up or lean on metal objects because they'll strip skin, etc. Lucky they have aircon huts!! Personally, I like 15-20C temps. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Whatever it is right now in Fukuoka is about my limit. This hangover is killin me. Danced for a few hours, drank way too many beers, got home at 5 am. I hate hangovers more in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Know what you mean Yama. The heat seems to intensify them! I have a little cloudy head this am. Might wash the car now... 35 degrees Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Christopher 0 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Japan is definitely the hottest I have experienced, about 37 I think. I really hate it. About 15-20 sounds good to me. Link to post Share on other sites
