September is, fortunately, the last month of really hot weather. It won't get cold here until after Christmas, and even then it rarely drops below 6 degrees C. (43F)

@Petter That sounds perfect! We tend to get brief spells of colder temps, like the heat, otherwise maintaining a very livable climate. That being said, the passage of time is teaching me why folks head to warmer climes in retirement!

Ghastly.

@Petter That is why I enjoy the fall and winter here, when the temperatures are cool, but not cold.

Very. My humidity gauge simply showed "LL", meaning that it was too low to be measured.

@Petter Ditto but it was 11 C here in Canada, just a mile from the US border. (I assume you can translate that to Fahrenheit if needs be)

@Surfpirate Easily. Add 40, double your result, knock off 10% and then take away the 40. Not what you were taught in school, huh? It is 100% accurate. It simply uses the fact that Fahrenheit and Centigrade are identical at minus 40. so if you add 40 you bring them both to zero. Here you can apply the conversion of 9f=5c (ie. multiply by 1.8. But multiplying by 1.8 is the same as doubling it and subtracting 10%) then move the scales back to their true crossing point.
So:-
11 plus 40 = 51
51 x 2 = 102.
knock of 10% (10.2) and you get 91.8
subtract the 40 you added and you get 51.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
The great thing is you can do it in your head! Try it for yourself.

@Petter I grew up in Canada during the transition from Imperial measurements to Metric measurements, I am completely comfortable in both forms as well as Kelvin since I did my degree in the Life Sciences.

@Surfpirate I underwent the same transition in Kenya. Strangely, depending on what it concerns, I use either system. For human weight I want lbs, but for groceries I want grammes or kilos. For speed I prefer kph, but for distance I prefer miles.

Heating is a lot easier to apply, and I love tucking up under a warm duvet, with the windows wide open to the cold, night air., even when there's snow outside.

It makes the odd warning beep, but I've got extra cooling installed on it, which switches in every time it gets warm enough to beep. My computer is not "run-of-the-mill". I built it myself and it used to be my main office server. It carries 5 hard drives in a pretty tall tower. I also swear by AMD processors.

When humidity is high, I rush for the air-con at the first sign of reaching 25 degrees. (Centigrade, of course) The air-con also de-humidifies the air, increasing one's comfort.

@Theresa_N what does that have to do with anything in this post?

Sorry, I posted it in the wrong group.

@Theresa_N happens to the best of us

I prefer life without it, so it's not on in the study.
My wife has it on downstairs. and I'll probably switch it on in the upstairs bedroom an hour or so before bedtime.

I ike a sauna, too. Though, it can be too hot and hot for too long.

@Petter You would love the Southwestern part of the United States! Extreme dry heat, today where I live the high 103 degree's. Hot sauna feeling just walking from the house to the car.

@MichelleGar1 Gorgeous. I've wandered around inland and coastal California, and Nevada, as well as Arizona. Never got to New Mexico

@Petter All beautiful, especially Arizona, there's Sedona and the Grand Canyon

Not really. I like it, and I could always use the air-con.

I know the feeling, I've driven through much of Arizona. It reminded me of the arid parts of Kenya and also South-central Spain. I remember one night, around midnight, when the local radio presenter announced "Great news folks. The temperature has dropped below 100."
Today's temperature, by the way, was the reading indoors. Outside it was "somewhat warmer". I think it peaked at 104, and we live right on the coast.
3 or four miles inland it would have reached at least 114. I'll know when my sister messages me.

@Petter July and August here are not for the faint of heart and January is too cold, but still, 9 months out of 12 with gorgeous weather? I’ll take that every time.

The fan is on full blast, but the air is so warm that I think is warming me, like in a convection oven.

Petter Buns are toasting.
