  4. The claim is circulating that antidepressants can cause overheating and dehydration. This is a genuine public health message, but it's not so simple: diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, antipsychotics, and some antihistamines may also interact badly with hot weather.

    There's even doubt about antidepressants having this effect. A recent paper in eClinicalMedicine looked at all the studies they could find and concluded that there wasn't evidence of antidepressants causing overheating in hot weather - though some other medicines do.

    "Current evidence supports strong anticholinergics, non-selective beta-blockers, adrenaline, and anti-Parkinson’s agents impairing thermoregulation during heat stress ... physicians should interpret with caution conventional public health messaging related to the thermoregulatory effects of some drugs (e.g., antidepressants) during hot weather."

  5. We’ve reached the time when the summer heat outweighs any desire for design & aesthetic. Portland is having a second 90F/32C day so I’ve deployed my janky looking, but very effective hack to block the only west-facing window in our home.

    This window is one of those window boxes, so it not even remotely insulated, double-paned, or anything that would improve its efficiency. In the winter cold pours in from this space and in the summer this unshaded window belches temperatures above 105F/40C into the kitchen. On the positive side, our cat loves this space, he lounges on some carpet we put in the bottom and yells at birds.

    If you’re struggling with rising temperatures and have access to a a place that sells construction materials, you might consider buying some of these R-Tech insulation panels to block windows. These are coated with Mylar on the side I’m facing out, towards the sun. It’s impressive how well they work!

    I’ve been thinking I’ll order some insulated curtains for this space, but my wife has wondered if this fix is actually more effective! We might still hang some, but I’ll keep these two panels around for extremes.

  10. Does anyone know if I can plug in and run a window air conditioner just sitting on a chair inside my house?

    I have to cool off and I have 2 air conditioners but no help to get them into a window

  11. Spending the night alone at a neighbor's hunting cabin way up in the Appalachians

    It's over 100 deg so I may actually sleep in my pickup with the ac running lol #HotWeather #Weather #sweating

    Don't know if I'll get to see the Milky Way with all the clouds and tstorms but still a fitting way for me to pass a big #anniversary for my country and for me personally

  12. THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT: Heat will be an issue for a lot of territory this week. Some moisture areas will shift focus from the West to the Northern Rockies and Plains, & the tropics remain quite active. Let’s discuss these bullets. Weekly Weather Watch: makensweather.com/weekly-weath

  13. Today I’ll fill all pots for bedding flowers & drill holes in these boxes + fill them with soil for planting seeds. I’ve arranged my small station for cultivation (the magnolia above now has huge buds)
    Hopefully I get the kale planted before too hot
