    I know how you feel! It's currently 94F (34C?) - 77% humidity. Not a breeze in sight. I just took a cold shower and it doesn't even feel like it after stepping outside for 10 minutes with the dogs.

    Thank goodness we have air conditioning.

    Good grief, 34!! THAT is unbearable, especially because of the humidity. I remember how humid it was in Dominican Republic, and you're not that far from there. AC is a must - wish I had one!

    We have the heat/humidity thing here in Indiana too. It would seem
    unbearable to me also. Are you using electic fans at all? An AC unit would
    be better. They are pretty cheap in the US.

    The heat does not seem to bother the cats, but it does bother the dogs and
    one of them is always laying on the air vent.

    Yup. Been unbearably hot here too. It seems each year gets hotter and hotter than the year before. We've also noticed a distinct increase in POWERFUL storms. Global warming?

    I hate summer!!!

    I LOVE Spring! In spring, the tempreature and humidity are in complete balence, but the pollen...
    Yes, an ac unit around here is pretty cheap, about $100 for a good one around here.

    The real good AC's you have over there, are quite expensive here, and I suppose they'd have to be installed in the whole building.

    John bought a huge monstrum a few years ago, but it's in the cellar and I can't lift it on my own. It's one these that has a drawer in the bottom and you can put icewater in it and it will blow cool air out. I can also heat, has different settings.

    Well, it's down to 26,5 now, with open windows, so I'm off to bed.

    This temperature should only last a few more days.

    No, the $100 air conditioner goes into the window.

    I hate summer too! It's so hot and SO humid here- yuck, just going outside for a minute leaves you feeling sticky and gross.

    This year is supposed to be a bad year of hurricanes. The worst heat I've ever felt was the days following a hurricane- it's very hot, extremely humid, and very still- no breeze at all. To top it off it's sometimes several days without power. With one hurricane we went a week without power and then our AC was broken, it was another week until that was fixed. We now have a generator and a window AC unit that we can run if that happens. The window unit will only be able to cool one room, but we can all live out of one room for that period of time.

    HOT in Pittsburgh!

    In Pittsburgh, the temperature is in the high 80s with high humidity. I can usually take the heat, but with the kind of job I have I get worn out very quickly. I cut grass on a golf course.

    We had a nice rain last night so it cooled it down a bit. It's currently 84F & 62% humidity.

    I'm still going outside to go swimming right now.

    Yeah, it may be 103 but you have like 5%-0% humidity. I'd be fine in these tempatures, but the humidity is horrible!

    Man you are sooo lucky! I think 28 degrees is such a perfect temperature! I would love to have that warmth here, for me its still only at the teens like 10 and 12 degrees.
