I keep seeing stuff about this being the strongest El NiΓ±o year on record, so that last panel is going to be real.

    Pretty sure that it depends on where you live.

    searches

    Yeah. Actually, according to this, it doesn't typically affect summer weather in North America. Huh.

    The maps show how El NiΓ±o commonly affects Northern Hemisphere winter and summer climate patterns around the globe. Notice that there are no consistent impacts on North America during the summer months, while areas around the tropics and Southern Hemisphere subtropics (Australia, for example) experience impacts in both seasons.

    Wow, I'm not sure that I've ever seen a map that splits down the Atlantic ocean vs Pacific! Really threw my brain off for a moment having the Americas off to the right side, rather than the left. I can definitely see why it was done that way, but just so odd to realize how infrequently I encounter maps drawn that way.

    Is going to? It actually is. We are rn putting alarms to open the house on the half an hour where the temperature drops below 23Β°C. We have 31 days and 24 nights. The usual here on hot season is 16 nights and 24 days so we don't even have air conditioning. We literally are strategically airing the house to cool it a little bit...

    Of course, the current El NiΓ±o is in the early stages of formation and might not live up to the hype. But if the forecasts prove accurate, it would be a whopper (NY Times)

    It's still spooling up. I'm afraid to experience this thing at full force.

    We are not even on the same continent. Nice default Americanism I guess. I intentionally put the Celsius degrees to que people that it wasn't the US they are right, I'm the one that ignored context.

    You're on a chain about El NiΓ±o, and commenting as if you're effected. That implies America's, or the Pacific broadly at most. Regardless, what they said is perfectly relevant to the thread. If you were speaking of hot climate in general then you're the one putting yourself somewhere you don't belong.

    We need to build more datacenters, so we can use them for shade

    As someone without working AC, this hurts. At least at the beach you could bring shelter and cool off in the water

    get a portable ac, even a used (working) one is better than nothing. just seal the exhaust in a window well enough. i live in one of the coldest countries but even i can't survive the summer without two of those

    i would not survive there lmao. can you set up some kind of shade to block the sun? also for the portable ac to cool the place effectively you need a window slightly opened somewhere for replacement air.. but you probably already did those

    Remember when it gets too hot outside and people start showing up at night. Don't let them in however being alone makes you a target of the Pale Visitor.

    We had a hike, picnic and some time at the beach yesterday, before the temperatures got too crazy. Today is be inside with curtains drawn and windows closed until the outside temperature drops below the inside temperature!

    I live on a small homestead with livestock. There's lots to do on my days off my regular job.

    Everything gets done in the morning. Because once it it's 1300 it's inside or else.

    It's like if the Riddick franchise owned a farm.

    If I find myself unemployed in the summer, I only apply to jobs where I'd be working in a giant fridge or freezer. They always give you warm clothing to wear as part of the PPE, but I end up only ever using gloves because I'm a super hot person. But then they yell at me for violating OSHA rules or some bullshit. πŸ˜–

    Those cheap reusable ice packs you get at the grocery store for coolers and lunch boxes work great for long lasting cooling when it’s hot without AC. You can cuddle them for literal hours without it fully melting. And they’re so cheap it’s easy to have a backup in the freezer.

  • I just take a cold shower ever few hours, not even a real shower basically a rinse takes two minutes and doesn't cost more in electricity. I just feel bad telling people to use electricity to stay cool if it was that easy they would have already spent the money but for some reason they can't.
