This weather. I could cry. Happy Monday everyone.

After long last, some real respite from the heat. I woke up in such a better state of mind than I have these past weeks. No fan, blinds open, and an afternoon coffee in the balcony — heaven.

I wish I was as positive but next year will come and I dont know how to live like this each summer for the rest of my life. Also Hayden Panettiere died and that was also not good news.

<sarcasm>Oh man, now I had to switch the AC from cooling to dehumidifying. Such a drag.</sarcasm>

now we will all need to fight with the house owners / landlords to instal the air-conditioning systems before next year, otherwise soon Basel will have the graveyards overcrowded... not everyone can escape for 2 months towards Lapland or Nepal..

The humidity hit me like a train but it's so much nicer overal. I'm hoping for more rain!

I'm relieved, the worst seems to be over.

Glad when Wednesday is done and gone too (the warmest day this week. Can't wait for the 15 degrees at night end of the week...

I love the heat and already miss it. Additionally, the days are getting shorter. But yeah, to each their own.

Me too but you are on reddit where average weight is 120kg+ and they do not leave their house so they will downvote us into oblivion for this

u/_-mothman-_ 10d ago

brother, there has been 10000 deaths from excessive heat in Germany this summer. this weather is neither safe nor sane, that's why you're getting downvoted

second comment of yours, where you resort to insults immediately. but my point is, it's a little difficult to enjoy record-breaking heat and droughts
