LOCAL OPINION: How Have You Been Holding Up In the Summer Heat?


We ask community members how they’ve been holding up in the summer heat. Here’s what they told us:

“I love the weather now but I’ve always been a Fall guy… I’ve been hiding inside for the most part. Leaving town when I can.”

 

Lauren Collins:

“I’m planning on going down to the shore on labor day, which I guess is the official end of the summer. I had my first baby six weeks ago so I really didn’t get much of a summer, but I’m really enjoying the semi-cooler days now that it’s 88 instead of 112.”

“Yeah we’re definitely ready for the summer to end. We’ve been trying to stay indoors. Went to the beach the other day but it was really hot. Stopped drinking hot coffee… I got sunburn just walking around yesterday so I’m not a fan of this.”

 

Michael Baker:

“It’s like a hot, wet blanket out here… I’ve been swimming a lot. I swim out in the woods up in Wissahickon sometimes. Just gotta keep an eye on the water reports. But really anybody’s pool that I can convince to let me in.”

 

George Hubbard:

“No I’m not really looking forward to Fall. I’m an existentialist. It is what it is. It’ll get here when it gets here… Being a creature of nature, you avoid heat. I’m not obsessed with it. If there’s shade, I’ll get in the shade.”

 

Katherine Christian and family (Christopher Brown, Isabella, Suzette):

“I don’t like the heat and this summer was brutal. We have a kiddie pool and the girls love it. Saves electricity too since we don’t have to run the air conditioner. Just throw em’ in the pool.”
