It's so hot and humid here in the NE, that if you open a door to your home and it's located in a room with a smoke detector, the humidity will set off the smoke detector.

I was in Toronto a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure I had heat exhaustion. DD said I lost all my Texan cred getting heat exhaustion in Canada. Meanwhile, it was 105 when we moved her into her dorm and I was just fine. Apparently it's just the Canadian heat that gets to me.

It is the humidity that comes with having Lake Ontario so close & the effect of being within the 'horseshoe' part of Lake Ontario. All of South Western Ontario gets horrible humidity because of the lake effects from Lakes Ontario, Huron, Michigan & Erie. Humidity from the ocean or gulf, like in Texas, is differently formed than from inland lakes. |

The humidity in New England is freaking killing me. Every day the windows are fogged up, both home and work! I hate having the A/C on 24/7. Last summer was nice. Cool even. There were a couple of days each month where I could turn the air off and open the house up. Not this year. I can deal with hot, it's the humidity I hate. HATE IT. Everything feels wet, everything. In the morning, walking the pups, it's steamy/foggy out, I feel like I'm walking through a tropical forest.
Then again....I don't have to shovel sunshine.
So I'm gonna shut up now.

Ok I'm in Georgia and every one of those statements applies here too. I work outside quite a bit (or in our un-air conditioned shop) and have to keep a towel in my car for the drive home because my clothes stay wet almost all day with sweat. We've been getting late afternoon summer showers a lot these last few weeks and while it feels great when they come, the sun comes out right behind the shower and it's like being in a sauna the humidity is so high. UGGGHHHH.
About 2 years ago we decided to see if we could fry and egg on the concrete in the backyard. To keep from having a big mess to clean up I brought a frying pan outside and set it on the concrete then plopped the egg in…and yep, the egg cooked in the pan!

I'm in So. Cal. and we are having a three day mini heatwave of 95, but it is nothing like the hell we lived through last summer. This has been a great summer. I've already decided that if we ever have another summer like last year I'll just slit my wrists and be done with it.  |
