What kind of hot is it when your air-conditioner keeps going out because it can’t keep both you and itself cool?
Also: what kind of hot is is when you can’t leave bananas on the kitchen counter because they rot in their peels?
Those aren’t riddles or knock-knock jokes or weak Match Game references: they are serious questions. Is there a word for that kind of heat–perhaps a scientific term? Because otherwise, I’m just left saying that it’s just damn hot, y’all.*
* Yes, I am reduced to talking about the weather. BECAUSE IT IS THAT HOT.

I believe the word you're looking for is "hellish." Or "neworleansish." It's frequently the same.

I know I may regret saying this but: we could use a little bit of summer up here in NYC. It's been rainy and 66 degrees for the last 5 weeks!!!

Time for a visit to San Franci. High today was about 66 (only briefly), with a nice, cold, damp ocean breeze, and then a lovely fog in the late afternoon to make the outdoors a bit brisk…
