shame on an IGA posted:it'll work until the bucket of water reaches room temperature Then you get another bucket of cold water. Or modify it so it just runs off the tap then drains out your window onto your driveway to clean it or something.

I know nothing about how HVAC works. you know how if you flip one of those canned air dusters over and spray it gets really cold as the liquid turns to gas? an air conditioner is basically doing that inside of a big coil that it blows air over. the bits outside are doing the opposite, taking the incoming gas and compressing it then running it through a big coil that it blows air over to turn it back into liquid.

Grundulum posted:I dunno about physically possible. Desert rocks that are dark colored and in extremely insolated areas can act as pretty dang effective absorbers of heat. This report would probably earn a 0 reliability score from that WUnderground author, but a satellite measurement of The Flaming Mountains in China may have detected a ground temperature above 66*C. Ground temperature is not air temperature. If we’re playing this game, I choose Erta Ale, Ethiopia. I agree that hotter temperatures are attainable now than were in the twentieth century, but some place that has never been a contender for the absolute temperature record isn’t going to come within half of a degree of it today.

Did the Seattle-PAC NW have a culture of not owning air-conditioners? I know it's rainy but I did not figure it was "perfect" like the bay area or something.

The PNW's climate usually hovers between 50 and 70 year-round, when it dips below freezing in the winter or goes over 90 in the summer it's usually anomalous enough to be front page news Our infrastructure literally isn't built for this

Anything much above that is where neighbour start going "ooh, it's a hot one today eh?" at each other then everyone nods in agreement knowing that it's the one day a year everyone gets to have that conversation.

Apparently there was a rounding error and the hourly average was still 116, but I'm sure we will get there soon!

They haven't generally been necessary until we turbocharged climate change and imported the climate from Phoenix. Less than half of homes have air conditioning, many buildings don't have it, and poo poo sucks!

Also the less-than-half of homes that do actually have air conditioning were all built in the past decade and are largely uninhabited due to the reprehensible housing market If you live in a house made before the Obama administration or an apartment at all then what I recommend is soaking a towel in cold water and then living under it until the air and sky become sensible again

These are unofficial 5-min observations (used more by the FAA for the wind data). The underlying data are in whole degrees C, so yea the conversion is not exactly accurate for climate purposes.

it’s like a third of residences or something? I imagine there’s probably a split between owned vs rentals by some margin, but not a whole lot... the whole neighborhood is operating on at least 1 level of improvisation I feel like an rear end in a top hat pointing a shiny car windshield thingy out the window at the neighbors but you’ve gotta be a fuckin idiot to have the blinds open right now tbh. also I checked, it’s not lensing holes in anything

It's over 50% households with AC now, but that's been heavily influenced by new-build apartments in SLU, downtown, cap hill, etc. where you have a tower going up with 1000+ apartments that all have central air. The outlying Seattle SFH neighborhoods are still mostly AC-less.

Koirhor posted:time to fire the aerosols would much rather freeze to death About that... https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/10/eaat3272 quote:Persistent episodes of extreme weather in the Northern Hemisphere summer have been associated with high-amplitude quasi-stationary atmospheric Rossby waves, with zonal wave numbers 6 to 8 resulting from the phenomenon of quasi-resonant amplification (QRA). A fingerprint for the occurrence of QRA can be defined in terms of the zonally averaged surface temperature field. Examining state-of-the-art [Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5)] climate model projections, we find that QRA events are likely to increase by ~50% this century under business-as-usual carbon emissions, but there is considerable variation among climate models. Some predict a near tripling of QRA events by the end of the century, while others predict a potential decrease. Models with amplified Arctic warming yield the most pronounced increase in QRA events. The projections are strongly dependent on assumptions regarding the nature of changes in radiative forcing associated with anthropogenic aerosols over the next century. One implication of our findings is that a reduction in midlatitude aerosol loading could actually lead to Arctic de-amplification this century, ameliorating potential increases in persistent extreme weather events.
