But you live in Brooklyn, home of the hipster, don't those breezes bring in the smell of incense and potpourri?

hahah! im far from the hipster area. im around where all the restaurants are
Well Mr. Foodporn king that seems quite fitting!
I spend every other Saturday down in the Dumbo area, and the amount of tourists and crowds milling around the water is mind numbing this time of year.1 -
Love the heat. Just got back from Reno. Motorcycle Rally. Going to Las Vegas in August. Should be around 110 degrees. Heading to Palm Springs in September where it will be a chilly 90 degrees or so.

I can't stand the heat. I burn, and keep burning. Give me a/c any day.0

I was a deveote sun junky, and living in Arizona suited me to a "T" since I was a kid, but the last few years I find the heat hits me a bit more and I can't hang in it like I used to. At almost 50 I guess that is just part of getting older.
EDIT to add...of course, I am talking 115+ degree heat not that nice 95 to 100 degree stuff. So my tolerance is still probably way above most folks. I still love it, but not as much after 110 degrees.0 -
It depends on what I'm doing. I don't mind at all lounging around a pool when it's 95+ degrees out. I don't really burn...I'm usually pretty dark by August.
I don't like exerting myself in the heat and I do enjoy summer escapes to the mountains for some cooler temps. Fall is my favorite season...early fall with temps in the 80s...mid fall in the 70s...late fall in the 60s for highs is perfect riding weather. Spring is similar temp wise but in reverse, but it's really windy here in the spring so riding can be pretty sporadic. I'm not talking a little breeze either...I'm talking 30+ MPH winds with gusts at 50+ MPH and blowing dust storms.0 -
I have always had a very wide comfort range, however with age and weight gain my ability to preform as I did when I was younger in the heat has decreased. With that being said I still can work in the yard all day when it's in the 90's with a heat index over 100. I just have to be smarter about it. Take more breaks, drink more water and less beer, and work in the shade when possible.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I grew up in the south and was a child laborer, forced to tend to the crops all summer long at a young age. Not to mention we kids weren't allowed in the house during the day all summer long.
I also served in the engine room on a ancient ship in the Navy that's engine rooms were over 120 degrees. I was also stationed in Jax Fl. which is hooter than the devils *kitten*. I think all that working in the heat acclimated me for life to the heat.

I love the heat, but I will admit, I lived in Phoenix for a year and that's a different animal. Actually, lived in Mesa. 100° felt hot but good, but getting up to 110°+.......that, it's a dry heat stuff don't fly anymore.....it's friggin blast furnace hot. I guess I would still like it better than extreme cold though.1 -

Yeah, I came from NY so went from dang cold to dang hot. I laugh when family visits and walk off the plane. the normal quote is, "OMG, it's like standing in a flippin' hair dryer!". It is a crazy scorching heat compared to like 90's and humid in Florida or Texas, which I can take much better overall.

Mesa is much hotter than Phoenix.
If Phoenix is 110 degrees, Mesa will be 112.
Try out Scottsdale, it's only 109 today.
The trick for living in Phoenix is leaving.
... then coming back for the Winter. (it's no big secret, lots of people do it)
last year it hit something like 122. It was great; nobody was out. No traffic, no crowds... it was awesome.
It was like having a blizzard without the ice and snow.2 -

I may be wrong about this because it's been a long time since I was there, but I thought I remember somebody saying that it it 100° or more something like 120 days in a row when I was in Mesa.....is that possible?0 -

yeah, that sounds about right.
I just take it as it comes and don't worry about the heat.
Just prepare for it, and own (or have close access) to a swimming pool.
It also helps to make a road trip to San Diego once in a while.1 -

Yeah, I am around water most the summer and quick trips up north are just an hour or two away to the cooler temps. We used to own a house in Prescott but travel up to Flag more often anymore.
But yup, even with temps already reaching 108 the other day, traffic is cleared and there are many people out and about, so love when the heat hits and the snowbirds leave. Also gotta know the proper spots at the lakes. Party cove at Pleasant is already lit AF with bikinis and beers.

Love it could sleep in the sun all day
Now if we talking humid weather I’ll pass1 -
I don't mind it hotish. I despise winter and being cold, so there's that. Its hard to enjoy summers in the outdoors when its 90+ temps and 90+ humidity. Even lower temps and high humidity is like swimming in hot soup

I loathe humidity. Give me a desert and I can stand 120oF.
Give me humidity and I die at 70oF
Give me a cold mountain any day over Summer0 -
This summer is already abnormally hot for ABQ...we're already hitting mid 90s which we don't usually do until late June and then we usually have 2 or 3 weeks of 100*+ in July and then the monsoons come and cool things down a bit...I'm betting on a record number of 100*+ days this summer.
Once it gets over 100* I'm pretty much out. I can handle it for a couple of weeks, but not all summer. To boot, they are already closing the forests down due to fire danger from the drought so I can't get in my weekend mountain escapes to beat the heat.0 -

I love the summer!
Lake days!
It was in the 25C last month but this June seems to be cooling down,
which in sense is a good thing will keep the forest fires down. Last year it was hard to go anywhere.0 -

25 C = 77 F0 -

So I need to mention that 25 C (77 F) is cool and not hot at all.0
