Hi,
The highest temperature in Poland was 40,2°C. The hottest month here is July. Now we have a winter but this days it's unusually warm (just about 0°C).
What's the hottest it gets to where you live?

Re: What's the hottest it gets to where you live?
It gets in the upper 90's where I live. Sadly we usually have 100% humidity, which makes it feel like your living in a sauna. As for the coldest it gets where I live, it can get down to about 0. That's rare for the most part our highs in the winter are in the lower 40's, Fahrenheit that is.

Hottest it gets here in July / August is about 35°C when it becomes very difficult to work in our offices ... we even have clients walking out.
One year it got up to 41° and that was not comfortable.

Re: What's the hottest it gets to where you live?
Only time will tell and I'm sure its too soon to know. Global warming.....
The above came naturally, but since i'm already going to appear difficult, I'll continue ........
When you say "where I lve?" do you mean where I am currently living, or anywhere that "I" might live?
And what if I consider myself a resident of this country, this earth, or this solar system?
In light of that, the first few moments of this video propose a single point of reference to the question of how hot and how cold? 10 million billion C and -271 C both achieved in Geneva, Switzerland.

(Edit: I was just looking for something about the LHC and quickly chose this. The "boreme.com" website, however, apparantly contains a "variety" of content. May not be appropriate for some viewers. I, in fact, quickly decided not to linger.)
On another note, if there is anywhere without weather extremes I would love to hear about it so that I can start planning my move. But then I shouldn't attach, because there is always that global warming to kick things up a notch.

Re: What's the hottest it gets to where you live?
Yes, I did my very first vipassana (Goenka) course some years ago in summer. Experienced a few days of 30-40-ish degrees weather. It really made it easy for me to understand the basic principles of the technique!Ben wrote:Absolutely Retro!retrofuturist wrote:Greetings,

Metta,
Retro.
I was actually talking to my wife earlier in the evening, and remarking that how in winter, one is conditioned to turn the heating on, and that this sort of heat is desirable. Yet in summer, the conditioning of the mind is that it is undesirable. After years of hating the heat, I don't anymore. Its just vedana and the rest is just the result of craving and aversion.

How are you guys coping with the heat so far, Retro and Ben (or anyone else in Melbourne)? You moved in this heat, Ben?!
I live in a top floor apartment with west-facing windows (which means the sun shines into my flat for a good 8 hours in summer) and no air-conditioning of course. No respite in my office as it is in an old building which is even hotter than home. So I'm working from home with two fans pointed at me.

Re: What's the hottest it gets to where you live?
Greetings zavk,
It's casual Friday today at work so that makes it easier. I've got shorts in my briefcase so I will feel cooler before I dare to face the trains this afternoon. I would be wearing them now, but to be honest, no one at work wants to see my hairy legs.

Re: What's the hottest it gets to where you live?
Where I live... honestly... has the best climate on earth. Eastern Maryland...retrofuturist wrote:Greetings,

It was 43.4 C' yesterday in Melbourne, Australia... 44.0 C' today and should be a cooler 43 C' tomorrow.
For those who think in terms of fahrenheit, today was 111.
This is all perilously close to highest ever January reading of 45.6 C' on 13th January 1939.
I won't tell you about my train trip home... it was a good chance to practice the paramitas.

No hurricanes, no tornadoes, no tsunamis, no earthquakes, no wildfires, no rockslides, no avalanches, etc.
Average temperature is 55 degrees annually. In summer, it gets up to around 85 degrees fahrenheit (29 degrees celsius). In winter, it goes down to about 20 degrees fahrenheit (-6 degrees celsius). It rarely moves beyond those two extremes.
From what I understand, Australia is too hot, too dry, and there are way too many snakes, spiders, and bugs there that can kill you.

Re: What's the hottest it gets to where you live?
In terms of heat, I've got you all beat, though, not that I want to win this one. Las Vegas has at least 10 days per year with temps. over 110 (43 Cel.) and about one day per year with the temperature at 122 (50 Cel.).
It is a dry heat, virtually no humidity (less than 10 percent). So it is basically just like an oven on broil or a microwave on high and when it is windy, just imagine a 'blow-dryer.'

Re: What's the hottest it gets to where you live?
Greetings TheDhamma,
I can relate to that too... it's also a very dry heat you get here. It seems that in humid conditions, it's hard to get up to the 40C' mark... presumably because of the increased number of water particles in the air acting as insulation.

Re: What's the hottest it gets to where you live?
Hi Zavk
Yes, the number of people who attended a ten-day course at Dhamma Aloka in that tiny meditation hall in the middle of a heat wave is incredible. Some of my friends from up here have sat and served during really hot summer heat waves in Woori Yallock. One friend told me that the temperature in the old kitchen reached 55 deg during one summer he served. Fortunately they've built a new .kitchen and dining area which doesn't get so hot though they still have the old dhamma hall which heats up like an oven.
The move has been interesting. I haven't lost my cool despite a massive blow-out of the cost and some damage to the house from the removalists. The kids and I are camping in the house without any furniture except for a tv, this computer and they're sharing a double foam mattress. Not having access to a refrigerator is probably the worst of it. Margarine just turns to liquid and flies that fall out of the air and are crispy before they hit the ground. I guess that's better than being eaten alive by a spider.
I'm just pacing myself with the remaining work. We had the carpets steam cleaned this morning and I'm slowly working my way cleaning and packing the bits and pieces that get left behind.
Kind regards
Ben
