It's a hot time in the old town tonight!

[Reservoir Dog]

Humidex of 46 C right now. (116 F)
My dog won't go outside. She just looked at me all like... "Fuck you, human! I'm not going out there!"

[Blast]

It's better than when it's 40 f below zero. I'm goingbt to get a tropical drink and lounge by the pool tonight.

[PimpDaddy]

Gonna be a 100 here in NH this weekend. Thinking of something different to have by the pool. Haven't had too many G&T days yet this summer, so that is a def. maybe. Still, the wife can't understand why I would rather float in the pool for hours instead of stand in front of the 400 degree BBQ.

Great, just what we need. Another RD weather thread.

Quick, say something really stupid so we can make fun of you some more.

I see the joke sailed over your head higher than Mt Everest. Like I've said before, somewhere in the last 2 years, you lost your sense of humor. Hope you can find it again because right now, you are just a caricature.

We hit 42C here. Lovin' it!

Keep that shit over there. We got up to 36C in May but so far July has been extremely mild. I put a heavier blanket on my bed last night because it was getting so chilly after sunset.

I forgot to ask if you have AC. That would be tough to go through without, considering the humidity.

There's very little humidity up here above the 65th parallel.

Thus the panting polar bears?

Live through temps OP is crying about half the year. Notice I don't whimper like a little pussy.

You did all winter. Remember that little mental breakdown you had?

[WestTexasCrude]

Anybody catch the video highlight from yesterday's Cub's game at Wrigley. Brutal heat. Cold front came through in the 7th, dropped the temp to 80. Standing ovation from the crowd to Mother Nature.

Satellite Images Show Vast Swaths of the Arctic On Fire

Vast stretches of Earth’s northern latitudes are on fire right now. Hot weather has engulfed a huge portion of the Arctic, from Alaska to Greenland to Siberia. That’s helped create conditions ripe for wildfires, including some truly massive ones burning in remote parts of the region that are being seen by satellites.

Pierre Markuse, a satellite imagery processing guru, has documented some of the blazes attacking the forests and peatlands of the Arctic. The imagery reveals the delicate landscapes with braided rivers, towering mountains, and vast swaths of forest, all under a thick blanket of smoke.

In Alaska, those images show some of the damage wrought by wildfires that have burned more than 1.6 million acres of land this year. Huge fires have sent smoke streaming cities earlier this month, riding on the back of Anchorage’s first 90 degree day ever recorded. The image below show some of the more remote fires in Alaska as well as the Swan Lake Fire, which was responsible for the smoke swallowing Anchorage in late June and earlier this month.





Intense hot conditions have also fanned flames in Siberia. The remote nature of many of the fires there means they’re burning out of control, often, through swaths of peatland that’s normally frozen or soggy. But as Thomas Smith, a fire expert at London School of Economics, noted on Twitter, there are ample signs the peat dried out due to the heat and is ablaze. That’s worrisome since peat is rich in carbon, and fires can release it into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Peat fires can also burn underground into the winter and reignite in spring.
