Seriously! Last 2 days have been the worst July days I can remember, and it's forecast to be like this all week.

HK heat is no joke, I remember deciding to hike Victoria Peak about 5 years ago.
The moment I stepped outside my airbnb room, I was hit in the face with the epic humidity.
Never in my life have I drenched my backpack in sweat from such a short "hike".
Spoiler!


Even Vancouver's heat wave last year, 40C, was not as bad as HK humidity + heat. I think you need to be born in that climate to be "useto it"

that moment when you step outside of HKG after a 12hr flight in a dry ass flight cabin

TFW you know you gonna get smacked in the fucking face the moment you step through the airport doors.

I remember the first time I went to Taipei in 2016. I had never been smacked with a larger wall of heat in my life. I thought I was walking through some hot air exhaust when I first stepped out of the airport, lol.

The hottest time was somewhere in 2017 or 2018. I was in Taipei during the summer. There is a little square outside my girlfriend's house where all the old grandma/grandpas do their tai-chi and daily exercise. In that square is a giant clock that also shows the temperature. Shit said it was 38 degrees. I checked online and with humidity it was like 50 degrees.

Parts of Taiwan recorded over 41 degrees today. It's fucking nuts over there.

While wearing a puffy jacket because it was 5 degrees in Van.

just went for a bike ride with the kid in 43.5 degree outside. You kind of get used to it.

StylinRed 07-25-2022 02:08 AM

Definitely requires getting used to, so unless you're going to be there for over a month ya may wanna skip out on the summers :lol

CivicBlues 07-25-2022 08:11 AM

Man fuck travelling anywhere outside the Lower Mainland during the summer, the whole fucking N. Hemisphere is an oven on fire from June-September now. This coupled with airport delays, screaming kids off of school and crowds, crowds, crowds it's just not worth it.

Vancouver despite the changing climate is still the best place to be July-Sept by far.

Now watch me eat these words the next Smoke Advisory we get.

Badhobz 07-25-2022 01:47 PM

pretty hot today, had to help my co worker install her closet rods and i was sweating like a pig while doing it.

Hope you guys all have AC and/or fans going. pretty nasty

spoon.ek9 07-25-2022 02:04 PM

yup, y'all don't know hot until you go to asia during summer lol.

I am SUPER glad I bought and installed my new AC. No regrets at all about spending that coin.

ilovebacon 07-25-2022 02:09 PM

ordered a new fan last week, It'll probably won't be here until the heat wave is over...

whitev70r 07-25-2022 02:17 PM

C'mon man ... over 30C you can say it's hot but under 30C ... no whining.

Right now Weather Network says it's 23C and feels like 27C. Just stepped outside, honestly, it's not that bad yet. It will get past 30C later this week. But unless you work outside like construction or traffic flagger ...

CivicBlues 07-25-2022 02:18 PM

Went for a walk just now it's actually pretty breezy outside. But then I'm near the water. RIP inland suburbanites.

That breeze off the ocean makes almost any temp bareable.

As soon as you get into that direct heat with stagnant air it feels like it’s 10 degrees hotter

Helping female coworker with her "closet rods" and "sweating like a pig while doing it." Uh huh....:suspicious:

Badhobz 07-25-2022 05:58 PM

Her damn rods are 67inchs long.
I used some heavy duty Rods and wall anchors. Hope this shit can hold all her clothes.

This weather has been great, stop complaining.

We'll all be bitching in October when it's raining 6 months straight.

Hope you like heat and smoke.

donk. 07-26-2022 10:07 AM

Heat and smoke beats rain and rain, can confirm
Stylinred making proper life choices

CivicBlues 07-26-2022 10:53 AM

Oh and depending on where in Australia you are you'll also get apocalyptic rain storms too.

underscore 07-26-2022 11:50 AM

A bit of heat and smoke is fine, but some years here I'd gladly trade it for your rain. It can get so thick you can see the haze looking across the street and visibility is less than a block.
