I'm an ex-professional poker player so I know a thing or two about casinos. They keep it cold to keep you awake so you can keep gambling. Same reasoning for pumping in oxygen, having maybe one clock visible in the entire building, no windows, and discretely marked exits.

You all just need a trip to San Francisco. This time of year we're almost always the coldest spot in the continental U.S. Just check out the weather map and head to the number that starts with a 5 or a 6. But bring warm clothes. Nothing marks a tourist better than a new, brightly colored sweatshirt that says "San Francisco." The panhandlers following those people stretch out for blocks. Also, let me know when you're all coming so I can pick up some provisions.
I'd probably say Katy Mae loses. While some parts of NYC and north Jersey cracked 100 or got close, it didn't have the humidity levels which the Springfield-Hartford corridor got and did have a sea breeze to help level things off a little.
Anywhere between say Baltimore and Boston though, it's hotter there than any place in America outside the desert southwest (Vegas, Phoenix, etc...) - even worse than in the South.

The heat index was up around 105 degrees today. The building engineer decided that today was the perfect day to shut down the air conditioning in the kitchen for a few hours for maintenance.
Welcome to Friday boys and girls. Another day of hot and ick! When the heat advisory stretches to the coast... just ick! Then buckle in for a bumpy afternoon tomorrow.
"We have an Air Quality Alert in effect for today for all of Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut. There is also a Heat Advisory in effect for coastal southern New England for feel like temperatures near 101.
An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect from noon to 7pm today in most inland areas in Southern New England where we could see feel-like temperatures as high as 108.
We have one more day with the high heat and humidity for Saturday. A cold front will come through Saturday afternoon and evening with likely showers and thunderstorms. Any thunderstorms will have the potential for small hail, gusty winds, frequent lightning and torrential downpours.
Behind the front on Sunday we will be much drier and more comfortable with falling dew points through the afternoon."

I have an outdoor rain or shine benefit festival on Saturday (all local bands plus Secondhand Serenade which just makes me giggle. Not sure how he got into the mix). Luckily, a lot of us are festival goers and we have already discussed ponchos and such rather than complaining. Rain while standing in a field listening to music? Unheard of!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

There's a heatwave going on? Must be skirting right around the Appalachians. Here in Johnson City, TN, it's been a sweet mid-80's with mild humidity. A couple of passionate evening storms top it off.

Yeah, it's been hot in Knoxville some days but nothing outside of the norm for this time of year. Then again, it probably can only get so hot when it rains every other day.
San Antonio and Dallas are better then Houston though. Lived in the Houston area for ~20+ years. It has the same heat as SA and DFW, but the humidity is just abominable.
But considering we have to deal with the mental giant that Rick Perry is, I think the heat is the least of Texas' concern. I'm just scared of the batshit crazy replacement we're likely to get now that Perry is stepping down...oh boy!
I know heat can suck but I'm a little jealous. 73 right now, mid 40s overnight (or 23 Celsius and 9 overnight to us Canadians). Almost no humidity here. It's nice for the hotel I work in that doesn't have A/C, but I miss real summer sometimes.
I'm very much not a fan the weather being hot and sticky, but the worst part isn't being outside. The worst part is getting on any form of public transportation where inevitably someone has decided that they wanted to run around for 6 hours in this weather and then take the bus home. The best news is that 7 other people had the exact same idea. Thank god these individuals all decided to stand up grabbing onto the handrail above your head so they can stink up the entire bus in the least amount of time.

Driving into work today, listening to the radio, I heard: "Highs today from the 60s to the 90s." That's either an exact quote or pretty damn close. The fascinating world of microclimates.

Or as today's SF Chronicle put it:
"From July to August, San Francisco has the lowest average and peak temperatures of any major U.S. City. Unsuspecting visitors are betrayed by their shorts, their skirts, their sandals and their exposed skin."
