101!!!!! Way to hot for me. How high is your humidity there?

Nevermind my previous post. Yes, the humidity here at times, in Illinois, at 85 F is like a sauna. Matter of fact, I think it was Wed of last week, temp was about 70 outside but the humidity was about 95%. I could hardly breath out there. It was like trying to take a breath underwater. We had a nasty storm coming in as well. At least it was the edge of a cool front that cleared the air.

Depends on what your doing for the day..

today - cleaning, I usually live in my bathing suit - take a dip come back into the house damp/cool..

heat knocked me out today - had to nap..

some days I can just act like I'm on vacation

I still live in a bathing suit all day, take a dip, throw a skirt/shorts on and ride my Golf Cart to the store etc..

August is a very humid month - hate it..... Good time for a Vacation..

I think the only way to handle this heat is to have your own pool

it's instant Air- conditioning..

only @ 3- 4 months of adjusting - not bad out of 12

all in all - I wouldn't live anywhere else..

It just seems HOT instant HOT - nothing gradual any more...

Kathy - thank you dear...

102 in Phoenix AZ, down here on business.

I only use my kitchen oven maybe once @ week.

this morn. I baked a ham & @ 15 potatoes, a loaf of bread and breakfast muffins.

all done by 10:00 a.m.. yeh..!!!

15 - potatoes for company, NO - 2 for tonight and the rest will be

Potatoes skins later.

10:00 a.m. and it's 90 degrees

There's a OVEN outside - 106 degrees today usually by Noon...

I'll just be in & out of the pool

and if one does not have a pool - you hibernate

as one does in the very cold winter area.

I hope I can last this summer..??

Reached @ 105 degrees today probably no relief until September

only cools down to @ 75 degrees at night.

which is hot to some

75 is a great relief to me..

Humidity is always the killer..........but the real dry heat can be worse sometimes cause you always feel thirsty. Humidity makes you feel like putting clothes on the line is equivalent to pushing a car up a hill.

Lon, opressive humidity on the East coast...disgusting is the only word I can use. We're used to it though. Daughter & I were driving down the road this afternoon, you could see the heat on the road...blurry. Yup, another hot weekend here for us.:-6

enjoy Maggie..........ours has been rain with highs of 13C.

we had an awesome week of highs of 23C!

now, its back to raining for the next few days.

summer is supposed to be really hot but not the rain we had last year that was every 2 days.

I'm in the desert, but this June has been very undesertlike. Yesterday we were in the high 80s with a half inch of rain????????? Normally this time of year, we are 110+ degrees. Don't tell me climate change isn't happening. We need a hot summer to have a good monsoon season to kickstart the flora to survive the dry fall/winter. So far that isn't happening and I won't get good wildflowers now.

Besides that... 80-90F temps mean the pools are too cold to stay in long.

wow, your norms are way down for the desert, as our were this entire spring, we have never head a spring so cold, I loved it for a change, but every year is always different everywhere so I don`t blame in on the earth changes as since I was a little girl, every season has been different.

You're right, Dizz. I'm in the Imperial Desert and it hasn't been above 103 or so. A little less than 80 at night. And I'm going to be gone for about 6 weeks. It'll probably be hotter where I'm going than it is here. And it'll probably rain here while I'm gone.:rolleyes:

Its cold and rainy here in Ireland
