But I’m mostly worried about Monday-it’s one thing to lay around and sweat, another to need to do work!!
I was going to say that everyone should have the day off, because it's an extreme weather emergency, but I guess some people who don't have A/C at home would get it at work.
I can't remember if it was a blackout or just super hot one summer, but I remember going to Old Navy in Queens one hot day and realizing a LOT of people had that same idea. People weren't even pretending to shop.
In Florida you could always go to an air conditioned mall or movie theater to escape the heat.
Of course, it never gets super hot in Florida. But it doesn't matter when it's 95% humidity.
The first time I experienced 100+ temps in California it felt like nothing compared to 95 degrees/95 humidity in Florida.

Yes definitely—if I had an office I’d go to it!! And may go to the mall or the movies but pandemic makes it all a little more awkward.
Yeah, for a hot summer day in California you need sunscreen. For a hot summer day in New Orleans you need a mop bucket to be wrung into after you melt.
Yes, I can be drenched with sweat just waking from the driveway to inside. Last week when I woke early I thought I would go for a walk since it was only 81, but I opened the door and said nope instantly. Ick.
Yeah its crazy. I’m flying home from Missoula later today and by midweek the forecast has Missoula as a full 20+ degrees warmer than our place in Los Angeles. That’s insane!
Timelies all!
Temperatures here are supposed to be in the mid-to-upper 90s all week.(with high humidity because summer in DC) At least I won't have to be outside much.

Having been through both numerous times, they are both unpleasant and enervating if very different experiences. When the temperature is over 100 degrees there is a different quality to the heat, or so it feels to me. It is nice that evaporative cooling works, though, that part of “dry heat” is a plus.
The Pacific NW heatwave has all my sympathy. I hope everyone there is able to find a space with safe temps to ride it out in.
