[0084] Making Bad Things Worse

Whew, Sandra can be happy that she’s not living in Bandung, Indonesia, the home town of Powree. Here is its climate chart (average daily temperature by month in *C and °F, the additional day and night temperatures are from a different source so the numbers don’t match up exactly):

Jan: 23.9 °C (75.0 °F) | day: 26.7 °C, night: 19.3 °C
Feb: 23.3 °C (73.9 °F) | day: 26.8 °C, night: 19.1 °C
Mar: 23.4 °C (74.1 °F) | day: 27.5 °C, night: 18.9 °C
Apr: 24.1 °C (75.4 °F) | day: 28.1 °C, night: 19.0 °C
May: 24.2 °C (75.6 °F) | day: 28.2 °C, night: 18.7 °C
Jun: 23.5 °C (74.3 °F) | day: 27.9 °C, night: 17.2 °C
Jul: 22.9 °C (73.2 °F) | day: 27.9 °C, night: 16.5 °C
Aug: 23.4 °C (74.1 °F) | day: 28.6 °C, night: 16.7 °C
Sep: 23.6 °C (74.5 °F) | day: 29.2 °C, night: 17.1 °C
Oct: 23.7 °C (74.7 °F) | day: 29.0 °C, night: 17.8 °C
Nov: 23.7 °C (74.7 °F) | day: 28.1 °C, night: 18.7 °C
Dec: 23.7 °C (74.7 °F) | day: 27.6 °C, night: 19.0 °C

I’m beginning to sweat just by looking at those numbers ;-) .

Update: I’m surprised how many people don’t seem to know the meaning of an average daily temperature. You should definitely read Zephr’s comment (comment # 21).

  • Sandra: It’s hot. It’s too hot. It’s like a thousand degrees in here!
  • Sandra: I can feel my brain melting. Soon, it’ll become a slimy gray goo…
  • Sandra: … that’ll drip out of my nostrils. Eventually, there’ll be nothing else inside my head than a large hollow and two eyeballs rolling around in it.
  • Sandra:
  • Sandra: Great. Now I’m exhausted AND I’m feeling sick.

    Looking at your Temperature, I’d much rather have that kind of weather than how it is here. It’s about 90 degrees Fahrenheit where I live right now and if it was 70 I’d be shouting for joy!

    I live in Northern Florida, and my job has me standing outside holding a sign on the side of the road for 4 hours a day, 7 days a week. I must say, I’d kill for those averages. It was roughly 95 “F outside today while I was out there.

    Not to mention I have a farmer’s tan from hell.

    Sandra has a warped mind to be able to gross herself out like that. poor thing.

    The real problem in Indonesia is not the actual temperature, it’s the humidity. [Was there just two month ago for work]. In the city it was around 30°C but it was so humid it was hard to breath. In Bahrein on the other hand it happens to be more than 40° but there the humidity is so low that it get quite tollerable.

    i’m thinking one part overactive imagination, one part plain old heat stroke.

    do they not have a desk fan she can use, or any cold drinks? :D
    (or a paddling pool, outside, or some kind of creek in the parkland?)

    I must say, sitting here in Britain, I’m enjoying the idea of Powree’s climate based on temperature. Though I expect it’s rather humid which makes it less comfortable… and maybe a bit politically dangerous.

    Oh, and i don’t think i’ve ever been in a house with air conditioning built in … except maybe on breaks in apartments in hotter climates! A good heating system, plenty of insulation and IR-retaining glass is where it’s at, here :D

    Though my car does have AC… it was a big day when I first moved up to one with air-con (the one before being pretty much a metal crate on wheels that somehow moved around). It makes de-misting the windows so much quicker and easier ;) … and occasionally is a godsend in summer when turning it on for five minutes brings the cabin down to a more comfortable temperature instead of driving with all the windows open for fifteen. Fuel costs too much to leave it running continuously, at least for me, though I have friends who leave it on all the time even when it’s not needed… they’re not really the most overall money- or environmentally-concious people though. The same economics apply to home AC really. Suppose we could probably get a scrap food-freezer with rotted seals and shove it in a large window with the element facing outwards, door open and a desk fan sat in front of it?

    As a long time resident of Colorado, US we get much hotter (and much colder) but I will take my 10-25% humidity at any temp over Indonesia’s humidity at 85º F any day.

    an old trick I used to cool down was to have a fan blow thru some yarn wrapped around a frame sitting in water (home made swamp cooler) again only something you can do in <25% humidity.

    Seems to me like people here don’t know the difference between average daily temperature and average daily high. Here’s the average daily temperatures in Seattle for comparison.

    Jan – 40 °F (4.4 °C)
    Feb – 44 °F (6.7 °C)
    Mar – 46 °F (7.8 °C)
    Apr – 48 °F (8.9 °C)
    May – 55 °F (12.8 °C)
    Jun – 61 °F (16.1 °C)
    Jul – 65 °F (18.3 °C)
    Aug – 66 °F (18.9 °C)
    Sep – 61 °F (16.1 °C)
    Oct – 54 °F (12.2 °C)
    Nov – 45 °F (7.2 °C)
    Dec – 41 °F (5.0 °C)

    Now keep in mind that Seattle is not even remotely a cold place. We barely get any snow here, and when we do it usually melts within a couple days. It never lasts more than a couple weeks. We just had temperatures over 100 °F (It actually hit 40 °C!) a week and a half ago. Can you imagine what a heat wave must be like in Bandung? And they can get them any time of year. Ouch.

    I agree with the above commenters: instead of listing the average daily temperatures, it’s better to list the average highs and lows.

    And, if the second chart is right — that Powree’s highest average high is 29.2 degrees in September — then that climate is WONDERFUL. No matter the humidity.

    The high temps in Kansas in August are usually between 90 and 105 F (about 32 C to 40.5 C), AND we get the humidity on top of that. About the only place in the US that is consistently hotter and more humid than us I believe is Louisiana.

    We have a pretty mild week coming up in the forecast, considering the time of year–the average temp is supposed to be about 81 F (27C). Last week it was so hot I could barely get to work. x_x

I took the daily, monthly, AND yearly average temperature of MN and then the daily, monthly, and yearly average temperature on the opposite side of the world (Southwestern Australia) and there was only a 10 degree (F) over the past 120 yrs. not to mention that 70 odd deg. is beautiful weather.

    Here. These are the average temperatures by month in Atlanta:

    Jan – 43 °F (6 °C)
    Feb – 46 °F (7 °C)
    Mar – 53 °F (11 °C)
    Apr – 62 °F (16 °C)
    May – 70 °F (21 °C)
    Jun – 77 °F (25 °C)
    Jul – 79 °F (26 °C)
    Aug – 79 °F (26 °C)
    Sep – 73 °F (22 °C)
    Oct – 63 °F (17 °C)
    Nov – 53 °F (11 °C)
    Dec – 45 °F (7 °C)

    So Atlanta is a few degrees hotter in the height of summer, but Bandung is pretty close to a Georgia summer all year round. That seems pretty hot to me.

    Seriously, no wonder we’ve got so many people screaming about “global warming”. They think 70F is HOT. You’ve been spoiled by air conditioning, and you think ROOM TEMPERATURE, which is defined as 72F in scientific terms, is so hot you’ll HALLUCINATE. No *wonder* most of Europe and half of the US is convinced we’re going to go up in a ball of flame any second now!

    Arrrgh…my mom used to boot me out the door to play with my friends on a 90-degree day in the summertime without thinking about it. We had NO air conditioning. And that was considered NORMAL. 100F? Getting a little warm. Better wear a HAT.

    @Sio: I have almost the diametrical opposite problem from the one you lambasted these forumites with: I love hot weather, but I can’t stand the cold. (emotionally speaking, at any rate…my brother and my best friend are a bit like most of the folks here–love the cold, but think 75 degrees F is roasting… ::) )

    You lot have nothing to complain about :) I’m reading this from Australia and giggling over those ‘mild’ temperatures ; )

    We’re currently nearing the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and already we’re averaging somewhere between 25-30 throughout the day, usually with a 30 something high around 1-3pm.
    By the middle of summer, right on Christmas, I can predict temperatures at least being high 30′s daily average, with quite a number of 40+ days in there =D
    And I’m on the coast! I’ve relatives out in Central Australia who get this kind of weather at the beginning of spring, and recieve ‘pleasant’ 50+ days peak summer.

    Well, having taken note of the stats being “averages”, I will still add that we here in Adelaide had a heatwave last January with overnight lows of 35 degrees. ;__;

    Well, living in what is apparently the coldest city in the world with a population over 600,000… I would think I wouldn’t be qualified to comment on heat, but we do get a few days every single year that hit low to mid 40′s Celsius, which is pretty darn hot… but then, I can go out in -40 without doing up my jacket, and get to listen to Americans complain that they hit freezing and they need to wear 7 layers of clothing including heavy parkas…

    Hot damn, when can I move to Indonesia?

    Not that I’d really want to, but I live in Arizona so if you know the average temperatures of the South-Western United States you know my lot.

    I supposed I should clarify: for me, ‘real summer’ means it doesn’t get under 90 F at night.

    Hey, it’s not that bad. Yes, Bandung and Jakarta is hot for INDONESIAN standard.

    Remember, having Tropical Climate doesn’t mean we’re as hot as desert.

    Try Garut, I live there, city south of Bandung, which is for a good measure are DAMN MOUNTAINOUS (Which I live about 1300 meters AMSL), glare at thermometer as we hit 8 degrees Celcius at 10:00 PM local time, and still no snow, sigh ^^. At the hottest, we hit about 24 degrees C at night, and freaking 37 degrees C at day (If my thermometer not mistaken, that’s my weekly record on 2009).

    My Record (Which is scientifically doubtful)
    Day : 22-37 C
    Night : 8-24 C

    Keep in mind that it’s on Garut, which is rather different than Bandung, which is FLAT.

    Tropical Climate grants you rather stable temperature, FREAKING STABLE TEMPERATURE! and there’s only 2 season in there! no super hot summer, no super cold winter, Boring? yes, but it’s comfortable.

    HA!

    I agree with Moose but I have to report a more insane temperature than that.

    I’m afraid you guys don’t know the half of it. I mean that literally, I was visiting my nan a few Christmas’s ago and it actually hit 60 degrees. Celcius. It’s a little way inland, but seriously, that’s walk down the street and die temperature.

    Heh, my friend said Greece was the hottest place she’s ever been and she’s from California.

    I live in California now as well and so far the valley is definitely the hottest place I’ve been, but thankfully it’s dry heat. A 100 degree F here is a lot more tolerable than a 96 degree F back in Georgia. You don’t truly appreciate the saying “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” until you experience it first hand.

    I’m gonna have to try the yarn on a frame trick myself. Right now I’ve just been sitting a gallon jug of frozen water in front of the fan and letting it blow on me.
