Summertime thoughts

[Karen]

We topped out at 96 / 110

It has now dropped to a cool 94 / 105


So Karen - did you finally have to break down and turn the a.c. on - or are you still cool enough without it?

Thankfully, as I said, this apartment gets very little sun, so as long as we are smart about it, it stay fairly cool. Right now, just looked, it is only 80° in here, which is fine! It rarely hit 80° inside, but that's way better than what's outside!

You must have a lot of shade, and a very well insulated building if it's only 80 in spite of the outside temp. However - I still would never be able to stand even that "low" temp when the humidity is so high. That's the killer.....

Amen to that. We've had high temps with equally high humidity for the last 4 days & that's murder. I couldn't breath with out AC.

Okay - we have hit a landmark - tonight, it is solo humid outside after being soooo hot today, I have to say walking outside felt like walking into a dryer. But the most remarkable was, I just did some grocery shopping. The store is, of course, air conditioned. I was in there long enough so that when I walked OUTSIDE, my glasses immediately fogged up! (This normally only happens in winter, coming in from cold outside!)

Weather.com currently - this is at 9 p.m., says it is
88°F
68% humidity
"feels like" 99° !

Officially yuck! Will be glad when the thunderstorms come tomorrow to break this pattern!

So today was a huge improvement, low 80's, low humidity! Is everyone else out of the humdididity hotness, I hope? We never got the promised big storms Saturday, and yesterday was pretty sticky and hot still be today was a big relief, and we may get rain tomorrow!

Even though it's been in the mid 70's to low 80's, it's been very humid and muggy here. I'm not used to this so this makes me feel so much hotter and sweaty than I should be. It's still about 70 outside at almost 11:30pm. I don't have any AC so I hope that I'll be able to sleep well tonight with my fan turned on all night as well as my window open. I don't think I'd ever be able to survive living on the East Coast again. My body isn't used to any humidity any more. I have a feeling that August will be an even hotter month this year.
