I normally have to water my bonsai trees twice a day in the summer, but it’s going to be three times a day for the next few weeks, at least. I watered at 7:30 and by 3:00, some of them were completely dry. So, I spent 10 minutes watering, and now I’m hot and exhausted. In high school, I’d walk home 2 miles from school in 100+ degree heat, and it only made me thirsty. I feel old, desiccated and overheated.
Are you wondering why I’m talking about the weather when the world is falling apart? I just need to feel a little normal, between bouts of existential dread and desperate sorrow.
Well, it’s almost July, so 90’s+ is about par for the course around here. But I like to stay inside anyway, in the AC. That thing you have up there in the sky – it’s got quite a glare to it.
Oh man. Sorry to moan, but it’s so cold here on the other side of the world. It’s supposedly 10°C but it feels like about 2°. It seems I’m hardly ever at a comfortable temp, whatever the time of year. Too hot or too cold. Dammit weather!
Singapore hits 32°c (90f) with 80-95% humidity most days, year round.
Because I’m on the equator, I tend to lose track of what season it is; it’s either “hot” or “hot and rainy” all the time here. I was in Shanghai last week and was looking forward to a break from the constant heat but I completely forgot that July is summer in the northern hemisphere.
It hit 38°c (100f) most days last week. Now I’m back in Singapore, it feels positively cool by comparison. Being able to actually breathe the air is nice too…
Plus it’s humid, which makes it worse…
