We are headed for Union Square to join a friend for lunch. I DREAD that station. While convenient it is always as hot as Hades.
Usually when I stop there I buy a few hard Amish pretzels (Martin's) at the Green Market...best pretzels on Earth, and also the most expensive.
But in this awful humidity, pretzels suffer.
Yea, that station is like a sauna sometimes. Your previous posts about heat pumps, and separately about steam-generation had me thinking about the steam system pipes and if it’s possible and efficient in Manhattan train stations that are hot and where the steam system is if a heat pump system where the stations essentially transfer heat into the steam system since those steam pipes at some point must run pretty close to the Manhattan stations.
The last three days have just been crazy... The humidity is just so bad right now. I really cannot wait until the end of summer. I have not gone out for lunch in at least a month, maybe more. Either it's extremely humid or extremely hot. Almost feels like 90 degrees already.

Agree. I don’t remember it being this miserable for this many days/weeks in a row. Can’t wait for Fall.

Yesterday morning, waiting for the express bus my dress shirt was drenched. I never sweat like that unless the humidity is bonkers. The only good thing has been that most places have had AC, but I haven't taken the subway at all during the week. I took it Saturday and it was like stepping into the pits of hell, and this was before 10:00am! lol I called myself doing shopping and getting inside before the real heat came. What's disturbing with this weather is we really haven't had real seasons in a few years now. You go from winter into some half @ssed spring, then BOOM summer. Fall is sort of in between too now. I enjoy fall the most because the weather is usually just right, but the rain and inclement weather has ruined that too.

Drenched shirt happened to me this week, too. So embarrassing. I don’t mind rainy or inclement weather. Take that over this any day.
I feel like it's particularly brutal this year, last year felt a lot better.
I agree. I don't think I've ever run my a/c's nonstop like this for weeks on end. Usually I run them here and there when the temp rises for a few days, and then I don't need them for another week.

I got lucky yesterday. Within seconds of walking to the front of the platform, the N train came. I stood right under the AC - it was heaven. This morning, not so much

lol Yes, yesterday was brutal. This morning I thought about the lonnggg walk I'd have from the express bus and said, nope... Commuter train... Puts me a bit closer to my office. Saturday I took the train at Chambers Street and even with the 3 train coming as I got to the platform I was still miserable. I wanted pizza from Whole Foods for lunch today, but I am not making a trip for lunch in this weather. It will be around 100 degrees by then so I will have a snack and get some on the way home.

Yup, been running my AC non-stop as well! My ConEd bill has gone up but I'll gladly pay up for that comfort!
