I'm thinking of pulling the trigger

Only place I would get a unit like that is Costco, with their return policy and how shitty quality some units are. Costco is your best option by far.

Now they are saying it's gonna be colder and wetter this summer:suspicious:, time to refund the AC

Hondaracer 05-24-2022 03:57 PM

Fuck you guys only use AC when it’s 40 degrees out or somthing? Lol

Last night it was like 22 in my bedroom and I can barely sleep

but surely itll happen again and likely with more frequency?

i feel like we used to get smokey summers once every 5 years, then every other year, then now it's happening as early as june

If a colder and wetting summer means there'd be fewer wildfires, I'd welcome that with open arms.

With global warming, I'm sure it can. But, I don't feel we will feel a scorcher mid 30s and above for at least another 4-5 years... I definitely could be wrong though, pretty much a gamble lol

Oddly I don't feel like we really had smokey summers while we were in high school, that sort of event didn't start happening until the 2014/15 when there was that fire in the Pemberton area. First time I started seeing ash rain down on Vancouver.

I think it's going to happen every year for the rest of your life, and maybe in 10 years you'll see Vancouver reach the 40's at times. 10 years after that, it'll be normal.

We are so fucked you don't even want to know.

Hondaracer 05-25-2022 08:02 AM

It was 40 last summer here? Lol.. already

Legit 40 without humidity factor? That's insane (edit: assuming you mean Vancouver or the area)

Gerbs 05-25-2022 09:18 AM

My friend's condo recorded 47C too, had to evacuate the doggos. Outside was 43C.

I considered tenting on the patio at like high 30's lol. Luckily got an A/C this year.

68style 05-25-2022 09:20 AM

I got a small AC too... it's not even for me, I can suffer out the week or whatever when it's bad, steal some AC from the hallway of the building every now and then... but my 16 year old dog, I worried sick about her. I'll just put it next to her to keep her cool.

I can see downtown Vancouver from my bedroom window and at one point it was like 41/42 last summer. It was unbearable. I was just laying on the hardwood trying to get some semblance of cool lol

SkinnyPupp 05-25-2022 09:42 AM

That's crazy... the hottest day ever recorded here was in 2017, 39 degrees..

I can't imagine that with no air conditioning

Seems we're more fucked than I thought!

SkinnyPupp 05-25-2022 09:48 AM

By the way, I switched to a bamboo blanket this year, and so far I am liking it. It is quite heavy which is exactly what I wanted - thin but heavy - and it lets enough air through that it's practically like not using a blanket at all. We had a weird monsoon come in for a few days, and this blanket was too cold and I had to stack another on top. If a hot sleeper like me has to do that, I know the blanket is cool.

I have some sheets as well but haven't tried them yet. They are made of bamboo rayon.

So last year during the heat dome we had track days at a27 and we’re staying in osoyoos. We got there at the tail end, it was 38-40° for us. Earlier that week inside homes etc it was 48° or something. It was FUCKED. The first night I woke up and threw up etc, I assume it was heatstroke.

The tarmac temps were 60° at a27, and the top of my cooler was 80°….. air temps are one thing, but when you’re sitting/standing on that 60° blacktop all day, the radiant heat is madness

Reminds me of the time I went up to Ashcroft (Eagle Motorplex). 41+ degrees. Was there for three days. It was really cool at night, however. This is before they closed the track down.
