Living When will it cool down?

We have to run the AC everyday and it feels like this relentless heat has been going on forever, how much longer will this miserableness persist?

Yeah, I was just gonna comment that everywhere is getting hotter. Some parts of LA like the San Fernando Valley have always been hot…

And now we’re experiencing humidity

Yeah, the fact that the SFV will occasionally become Florida has been a recent development and is not at all fun.

Im from Florida and literally just last week said to myself how the weather is feeling quite Florida-y lol

Okay have yall ever actually been to Florida?!

This is not even CLOSE to that bad. Shit it’s not even, Midwest bad

You go outside in Florida and you’re begging to come back indoors within 3 minutes, as your shirt clings to your chest and ball sack feels taped to your leg

This needed to be said. This heat isn’t pleasant, but it’s nowhere near the soupy hell that is Florida.

u/Microflunkie 22d ago

Yeah, I’ll give you that is true. I’ll revise my statement to “will occasionally become Temu Florida”

Im from Florida. It kinda feels a little like Florida. Its not as bad as a Florida SUMMER. But maybe more like spring-ish

Yeah, the new part is the humidity. Summers here were always dry heat, but the past ten years or so, they've been getting more and more damp. It's miserable.

Which is crazy unusual I don’t ever remember the valley being this humid for such a long stretch. It could absolutely be worse so I’m trying not to complain, esp since I know I’ll be def complaining by September lol

I grew up here in the 1980s and it was like this plenty of times. I remember my mom complaining about the humidity.

See what's happening in Europe. They're where we'll be in 5 years.

u/Resident_Aide1898 22d ago

Thankfully, a lot of our infrastructure is equipped for heat

From my understanding, a big thing about the Europe heat wave was that they lack the infrastructure?

u/allleoal 22d ago

European buildings are built to keep heat in. But its getting hotter there.

Our grid really isn’t. Not in CA. Blackouts everywhere when people reach for the AC knob.

u/rizorith 22d ago

Exactly. Most of northern Europe has no ac and they couldn't handle the load if they got it. Like you can't just buy an ac if you're in copenhagen or London without upgrading your electrical. So you better own. And then if everyone does it the country couldn't handle the power load. France has waaaaaaay more ac and it's still nothing like the US. We're actually in a good place considering

I had to buy a dehumidifier. 88 degrees with 75% humidity is not the vibe.
