jebbypalNow that's a heat wave...
Maan, I so remembering the two SWELTERING summers in St. Louis. Both times, I had a top floor apartment with one itty bitty window a/c. The second summer was made marginally worse by a LARGER apartment w/ vaulted ceilings (I was 19 and an idiot. It looked pretty when I was apartment hunting in May), but the first summer still ranked as the worst due to the attack of the mono. Though, when you pass out from exhaustion after climbing three flights of stairs after driving to and from the grocery store, you really don't care what the temperature is.
Those summers are my measure for HOT. Philadelphia doesn't measure up simply because it always cools off to at least 80 by night time. There hasn't been one period of time that I have to take a cold shower and go to bed in only underwear in order to hope to eke out a couple of hours of sleep before I wake up hot and sticky again.
About the only thing that is comparable to it in Philly is when it's above 50 degrees outside and my heater is POURING out enough hot air to raise the temperature in my apartment above 90. That sucks...and makes me wonder if I'll like dry heat at all.
