Too damn hot!
« on: July 19, 2006, 08:52:26 AM »
Typical whingeing limey that I am, it's too hot (as opposed to being too wet/cold/whatever)....

I took this picture at my desk (dodgy cameraphone shot) at 8:35am with in the shade, windows open my deskfan on full tilt...



... and the day hasn't even started :-o

That is pretty warm for 8:35 in the morning, even by Australia standards, although on new year's day this year, it was still 35°C at 4am in the morning.

Geordie genetic adaptation to our native climate and habits of wearing t shirts in mid-winter led to the elimination of 95% of the normal proportion of sweat glands. We can only sweat via our foreheads and between our toes (oh and the old a*se crack of course). Consequently, we can't endure heat.

Ah oui. Yesterday my computer was already experiencing lockups and shutdowns owing to its temperature. The CPU has a few kilo's worth of aluminium and copper attached to it, but if the air going in is already over 30 degrees...

I have now shut all windows in this house, drawn all curtains, and keep quiet and still.

"Britain has sweltered on its hottest recorded July day as temperatures hit 36.5C (97.7F) in Wisley, Surrey.
The previous hottest July day was in 1911, when Epsom, Surrey, reached 36C. The highest UK temperature recorded was 38.5C (101.3F) in Faversham, Kent, on August 10, 2003."

Well it seriously rained at about 4am this morning and I was out in it in a flash :-D

Of course now it is overcast but heating up badly, evaporating all traces of the deluge into the air pushing the humidity right up. It's 31C here at my desk right now, but unlike yesterday, sticky too.

Oh yes indeedy. Of course nowhere in the UK is this hot long enough for companies to justify the expense, especially retrofitting already built offices like these.

I must say old bean, that really sucks!

How about reverse cycle, cold in summer, warm in winter? Split systems are all the rave downunder at the moment, easy to install too.
