  • Too Hot!!

    Is it just me, or is this weather too hot??
    I wanted to fly this afternoon and it was 28 degrees, humid and dead calm..It't too damn hot for me!
    Started loading the car and was dripping in sweat! I hate it! Gave up and stayed home...
    I prefer 10 degrees with a thick jacket on to be honest.
    Is it just me? Is there something wrong with my body thermometer?

          Thanks guys, I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me (apart from the obvious!)

                Doesn't bother me, infact I don't think its hot enough.
                Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

                    It was too hot for me too. No wind, just heat. Tomorrow's forecast to be even hotter.

                      The thing is, it's all about what you're acclimatised to. I have lived in places much hotter and got used to it and didn't really realise what it was like until I went away and came back. Now that we have had such cool temps for so long I am noticing my tolerance for heat is reduced a bit. But if given the choice I'd always rather have a bead of sweat running down my forehead than be shivering in the cold.

                        I also hate the hot weather and such dangerous strong sunshine,I can't believe people just lay out sunbathing in it especially those that don't use a high factor sunscreen,you'll always find me in the shade

                          We only fly between 9am-12. After that we stay at home to cool down a bit. I never flew late in the afternoon like around 6pm. I wish I could but, as of now I dont think it will happen.

                              Yes, being fussy as I am, I am contemplating staying at home today. Was hot but with a slight breeze yesterday, good day at the field, right now it's already 23C and dead calm... Weather just can't please me heheh.
