I heard on the weather report yesterday, as I drove into my work parking lot at 7am, that people were flocking to Seattle to cool down! They said it was already 87F in Phoenix. I was perfectly happy to step out into our cool upper fifties morning air, the sky pale blue and cloudy, humidity low, and walk briskly to work. I couldn't stand living anywhere else. It does get tedious sometimes to have so very few sunny days, but I'd rather that than live with both heat and humidity.
We are so cool here that one of the mountain passes isn't going to open this summer because they still have 50 feet of snow which the cool weather this spring didn't melt off sufficiently for crews to work on clearing the rest.
I hear Texas hasn't had any rain for 9 months, is that right?

) - and the further south you go - the worse it is. I grew up in New England on the coast, and the humidity wasn't nearly as bad as it is here in the mid-Atlantic region, and south of here is even worse. Most people that don't live near the coast are under the impression that it is cooler and more comfortable, since we get the cooler ocean breeze. Sometimes yes - but most of the time - no. We get the heat and humidity pumped up to us from the south by way of the jet stream. It's just soupy, sticky, hot!!!!
