In conclusion....hot weather sucks ass! Too bad all we get where I live is hot weather or cold weather. I do prefer the cold myself.....

@master8
Same here, we get super cold winter, super wet spring, rains for weeks. then summer is hot as hell full of mosquitos that swarm around you like a black cloud of death. The only good time is fall but it's depressing being you know you are going to be freezing you ass off soon and the whole cycle starts over again.

My silicone dolls don't mind, they just wonder why I'm sweating, they easily withstand 100 C and more

In the first part of this month there was frost (-1.6 gr)

Dutch weather:

There has never been a juli as hot

or as cold

as this juli !
(recorded that is...)

I think today will set a new heat-record.

The weather here in the UK has been equally bonkers this past month. Just a few weeks back we had single digit temperatures at night and today we are set to break records with a possible 39c!

What is the perfect temperature range for tpe doll ?

Thanks for the advice Arthur. I had no idea the heat could pose a threat to TPE. I just moved her out of bed onto her chair so she can keep me company in the living room. Now considering putting her back on the bed into a lying on her back position to avoid stress. Both my bedroom and living room face east. East wall of living room is 75% double glazed so its like a green house.

Hi, there is a member that did some research into this by placing some tpe in a freezer to see how it coped and as far as I can recall it was ok? Certainly I would say that it makes sense to take precautions when the thermometer starts to rise above 30c and as Anung said in his post, it's a good idea to ensure your gal is in a neutral position, preferably standing, so that her tpe isn't stressed. From my experience I would say that in very warm temperatures, so 35c and above then some tpe formulations can lose some of their oil and if the tpe is also stressed then it's likely to separate and you see these little tears begin to form. I've been going around smearing a little vaseline on arm pits and elbows and straightening all limbs etc. To go back to your original question, again my take on it would be that this isn't such an issue with temperatures below 30c and I've noticed during the winter months my gals seem happy enough with no tackiness. This is always a tricky thing to nail down due to variable environmental factors, how you use your doll and, of course, tpe formulations.

Hi Seth UK, yeah I thought I would start a thread on this after my experience during last year's heatwave. It's hard to give blanket advice as there are so many variables and even on the same doll you can find that all her tpe is fine aside from an odd little area where something has caused the tpe to separate a little. For me last year it was a couple of gals and elbows and knees and they were both older models and newer dolls may not be so susceptible, still it can't hurt to be cautious during this abnormally hot spell!

Today another formal weather record here in The Netherlands, 40.7C. Also where I live it was 40+ degrees C. Inside my house it reached 29C. Pffffff....

Ok 17 consecutive days of 35C + then. Hot is Hot C or F....

As a physicist, I'll have to insist that the Kelvin scale is used. It was 310 here today

Good advice on the thread for our human partners though. Don't forget that it's beneficial that we wear as little as possible too
