Not that big a deal - it was 32 outside in Oxford today.

Thrillho:
Summer can fuck off. Spring and Autumn are where it's at. Gets dark at a good time, crisp, cool mornings, warm days, chilled evenings. And winter is beautiful, romantic, cold...

Okay, summer's not so bad. But it is too goddamn hot right now. I work in an office in a shirt and tie and it is pushing 30 goddamn degrees.

Hodgy man, you see that insane rain this morning? It leaked through the college's roof and killed one of our servers. I had to work in a classroom most of the day.

pwhodges:
Yeah - it delayed my leaving for work (by bike) for 30 minutes.  The end of my road was flooded over where the drains had blocked.  A nice little drink for the garden, though.

My server room is in the basement, below the water table.  As the building is quite new, it's good and watertight, but there is a pump in a sump.  The servers  are raised on a false floor with the networking above, but as the power is below on the real floor, any water in there would still play havoc. (Lots of power - I have a half rack of equipment, a cluster with 256 cores in blades with 16GB memory per core, and 250 TB of disks, that is taking 38 Amps when working flat out.)

ankhtahr:
Yay. We had 32°C today. My room (which is right under the roof) was 36°C. Luckily it has cooled down a little now, so I only have 31°C in my room now.

It is too fucking warm.

Everybody's cheerfulness about that makes my mood even worse.

I've had occasional headaches for several (non-consecutive) days now because of the heat. Thanks to Aspirin I can at least do stuff (and thanks to the non-consecutiveness of my headaches I could at least take Aspirin).

I feel like shit and want to take hourly showers because I'm always sticking with sweat.

I want to move somewhere where the Summer is as cold as our autumn and the winter even colder. Sadly Karlsruhe (where I'll probably move to) is even warmer than my town. According to some sources it's the warmest town in Germany. Fucking yay. I think I'll need to look for an AC.

GarandMarine:
It's hot and humid here. Fuck.
