Thanks for the reminder of why I'll never live any further south than I do already. And I am south of the Mason-Dixon line, barely.

That is way too hot, my friend. Ick. I'm sweating just looking at those temps.

Jen, what's really bad is that the humidity (which is often around 10% or even less) is hovering at the 30% mark right now. We're used to the high temps out here, but not the humidity!

Relying on The Whether Channel for an accurate 4 day forecast is like......well you might as well consult Nostradamus.

I'd gladly trade humidity levels with you. Here in SW Missouri they are running high. Right now, at 4:52 am, the temp is 67 (not bad) but the humidity is 97%. It's been that way most of the past week.

YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HUMIDITY! But, we can trade temperatures!!

30% humidity is nothing! Our high temp today is around 90 degrees with 90% humidity. Try that...

90/90...that's obscene!

Obscene, yes. But it's also our daily weather all summer - hot, hazy, humid with a chance of thunderstorms in the late afternoon/evening. As a matter of fact we've had thunderstorms since about 6pm today. =)

See...I'd be willing to tolerate *some* of that humidity if it would lead to rainfall. That's something we never get enough of around here.

But, I knew it was a desert when I moved here, so I can't really complain.

Here we have rain off and on nearly daily because it's rainy season. Temps vary dramatically thruout the day from low 70's to low 100's. Fans, cooling rain showers and cold drinks are the best (and only) relief when the heat and humidity are high. No AC here anywhere. Most of the people walk everywhere they go. Many carry exceedingly heavy burdens.
