there was an electrical repair in the area of my house. Its off from 10 am to 6 pm. with this hot temperature without air conditioning or a fan. the temperature was around 30-32 degrees celcius. When this kind of time really wanted to live in a snowy country. Have you ever experienced electricity off when the weather was hot?

sometimes the temperature here reaches 36 to 38, and no electricity too. sp we use our hand fans to keep ourselves cool.

yes, and it's longer than you mentioned (about 12 hours) because the electrical substation exploded and when no one was in charge of replacing it.

It is horrible when the power is off at the peak hot season. Suffered much. Eight hours black out is something worst.

So sorry to hear that. We've only experienced no electricity when it was freezing cold out. We now have a generator. It's no fun when it's hot or cold without electricity.

Oh it is bad to have such long power cut in a hot weather. We are facing a lot of power cut in our area since few months as the metro work is going on and lot of shifting of electrical poles. But since we have power back up and a pleasant weather, we don't feel the pinch much.

Oh yes, we have hurricanes often and the big ones leave the power grids in disarray at times. We have been without power for over a week at one point. My parents were without power for 3 weeks in their area during the same hurricane.
