    Still way too uncomfortable to suit me. Temp hovering around 90 and humidity is still way way way up there. Yesterday it really got to me - knocked me on my butt - soooo sick!! Storms came thru last night but all it did was make it more humid. I'm fading fast.................

    Hang on pom, it's still early Summer. There's always the ice cold rag on the face trick. It works if you're not moving around much.

    Rains came through here & cooled it off some, but still humid. This mornings temp was 79 degrees and 79% humidity. Just wonderful.....

    I am happy, rain, rain and now sunshine, but still just 75°F! Come to Boston, Pom! The rain just stopped, and as I said the sun has come out, but weather.com says 95% humidity - duh! It just stopped pouring!

    Here we are not even 7 days later, and it has been cool and rainy, good for the gardens, but I saw Rusty the chipmunk today and he was bouncing across the grass rather than scampering as he normally does - must not like getting his feet wet, but it was silly to see!

    And yes, the grass underfoot kinda went splash as I walked across it to put out birdseed!

    How's everyone else who was in the H&H doldrums last week?

    Temperature has been in the 70s, low 80s, low humidity, around here the last few days. Lovely!

    We had a couple of days break - very low humidity and one day in the 70's and the other in the low 80's. It's warming back up and getting sticky again - I could really feel the difference in the air when I walked outside this morning. A couple of cool and breathable days was better than none tho and I feel like I earned it. I came off a 3-day extra brutal migraine in time to enjoy the cooler air. Haven't had a head-banger like that in years, and it actually sent me to the walk in clinic Wednesday morning when I couldn't get in to see my doctor. A shot for the pain and a pill for the nausea, and 2 prescriptions later - it finally eased up by the following morning. Don't want my head to go there again any time soon...............

    We're having a cool summer, which is unusual but nice for a change. In July the "heat waves" have lasted for one day each. The second one comes in August, so we'll see. The partly sunny days or even sunny ones with cooler air are wonderful!

    Today and tomorrow the forecast is for showers and a HIGH of +15 and 16 respectively! That's about 58 and 59F.
