Being a native Houstonian, if I am exposed to low humidity for a long period of time my gills close up! I think toiv0 got a taste of our warm and humid weather a couple weeks ago.

I live, not only at the Atlantic off the Gulf Stream, but at the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Elizabeth River, as well. We've got plenty of humidity, bugs and pop up storms to go with very high temps. Thank God for A/C.

humidity seems to be the norm arid lands are an anomaly Most likely
And until the event of the swamp cooler Much of the growth wouldn’t have happened
With that advent of air conditioning its been exponential growth I hope they knohs what their doing
Not sure if it was the Gadsen Purchase or the Treaty of Guadelooupee Hildoagohz Anyway some conflict

A popular complaint in these parts is that we cannot get any heat without a gross amount of humidity. I’ve spent a fair amount of time in the southwest and I’d rather have it hotter and dry than be sticking to myself all day.You folks that have the extreme heat with high humidity are a special breed.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time in the southwest and I’d rather have it hotter and dry than be sticking to myself all day.You folks that have the extreme heat with high humidity are a special breed. I grew up in a house in Houston with no A/C (my kids still don't believe me). I did not see any A/C until I got to college. My Dad lived in that house for 50 years. He would bring him to our house and if the thermostat was set under 79 degrees and a ceiling fan was on, he was cold and needed a sweater. That and my parents would not use the gas space heaters at night. It's all about what you get used to. My Dad used to say you don't know hot until you've had to pick cotton in August in Central Texas!! I used to run a lot, and once every weekend in the summer I would do a 5 mile run about 2:00 to 3:00 in the afternoon just to keep that heat tolerance up.

I have always lived where it is hot. I used to love it. I couldn't get enough- even with humidity. I can't tolerate it anymore. Wish I could.

gotta add my 2 thermostats as much as I don't care for the slog of muggieness believe my body tolerates it better than the cold mostly when growing up w/out a.c. Mom tried to wake me up and I just said: turn me over when I'mostly done on the one side ... ! I used to run a lot, and once every weekend in the summer I would do a 5 mile run about 2:00 to 3:00 in the afternoon just to keep that heat tolerance up. Sunday fun?

Yep Humid and cold is the worst. I remember getting home from a day out in it with bone chills that wouldn't go away. Only known cure is a steamy hot, long shower/bath hot tub or sauna. I maintained an expensive health club membership to get the hot tub, sauna, and cool pool routine. Don't miss that. Long as I'm out by about 7am I can do about 5 or 6 hours of Arizona heat around the yard, once I go in for a cool down of over about 5 minutes I'm pretty much done. Frog in an oven?

better man than me step'n w/ that doable stuff some folk in AZ love to go hike the mountain peaks when common sense & brutalness reminds one its best to gohslohz & lay low mostly Oh, I bike-commuted on the hot days, too. It was still windy (just coming from a different direction), plus, by biking, you make your own wind. I also pre-hydrated and used a cooling towel, so, while it wasn't fun, I survived. We only have one car, with what my DW considers a "traditional arrangement": I paid for it. She drives it. Given that she has some physical limitations, I roll with it.

This is true on islands as well as Continents. On each Hawai'ian island, the Eastern side gets about 10x the rainfall (about 200") of the West side (20" -- which is comparable to California's Central valley, when there isn't a drought).

Nice weather here in Kansas, it has been running mid eighties the last week. That's for sure! I just returned to Oklahoma from 3 days in Wichita and we hardly saw the sun and rain was everywhere and the temps were cool and it was bizarre. I've gone to Wichita on and off for 40 years, and normally coming into July it's very hot, dusty, windy, and dry, and frankly kind of boring for outdoorsy folks like me. But this week parts of town in parks were like a rainforest! Lush green vegetation unlike anything I've ever seen there.

I gave my daughter two choices: 10 day trip flying to Seattle or Vancouver and exploring that cool area, which we have done several times. Or a 3 day mini trip to Wichita (2 hr drive) to mostly hang in a nice hotel, eat out and endure the typical weather there which we have also done before.
Unfortunately, I thought, she selected the 2nd one due to having only 2.5 days free. But, as you no doubt know, the weather was switched. Seattle/Vanc is a heat nightmare, and Wichita generates pleasantries due to its coolness. This was so weird, yet lucky for us.

We're having a mild summer heat wise this year in the Texas Hill Country but the humidity is bad enough I have to change clothes several times a day. Wet and sticky seem to be the current state of affairs this year.
