Humidity 😥

QVCkitty1 — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 14:51:23 GMT

I shouldn't complain because our weather has been so nice, however I hate humid weather !!! It is low 80's , but I just took the trash and recycling cans out front and I'm soaked. High humidity makes me crabby and gives me a headache. There I'm done venting, I hope you all have a good day. 🌺

I'm with you! Went out at 7 AM to fill bird feeders, all of 15 minutes, and came back inside soaked. 88 degrees and my weather app said only 60% humidity but I can't believe that's right. It's 90 right now with a feels like of 99. I'm afraid it's going to be a long hot summer. I like a little humidity, hate getting shocked during the winter months at every turn but this heat & humidity has me cranky and feeling like a slug. Wishing I had a mountain retreat to escape to for the next few months...if wishes were horses, we'd all take a ride

One thing good about Arizona in the summer. We may have high temps but very low humidity. We complain when the humidity gets to 25%.

@QVCkitty1

I hear ya'!

Here in the deep South, our humidity has been running at least 81% with temps in the 90's, pushing the heat index into triple digits.

Since I worked over 30 years, much of it on night shifts, in a hot/humid manufacturing plant! Being single and working 4pm to Midnight(not good for my social life), and in those conditions. Were I like you described yourself? Nobody would want to be near me, much less associate with me. However those conditions did not give me a physical headache or make me crabby.

I am looking at my temp/humidity gauge sitting on an end table right beside me. It will soon be going higher because it is now slightly raining. At present it reads: 86°/85% humidity, and it's still morning.

Now that you got that venting out! A nice day to ya.

Nothing worse than hazy, hot, humid days. I simply can not tolerate them.

I'm so ready for fall.

Makes me sick too.

I ran 2 necessary errands yesterday, I was worn out.

Forecast today is for heat index of 108

I have a dental appointment.

There was a relatively cool breeze early this morning when I went out to water. It's 10:30am, humidity is 70% and NO breeze. It would be a hot breeze anyway.

Yesterday, the dew point here in Chicago was 72. Today it's 68, still way too high. My bones aches when the humidity is this high.

I walked early and it was mighty high humidity. Even with a nice breeze, it sure was uncomfortable.

I'll never forget being in Arizona once and it was 110 degrees but it wasn't bad! I mean it was hot but it wasn't like being in that awful humidity that just takes every last ounce of energy! Most of the time I just try to hybernate until winter!

I know it doesn't bother some people, but the humidity makes me feel out of sorts.

I know it bothers a lot of people but I love it. I just got home from freezing in ac at work and am now on my porch where it's 85 degrees with 75% humidity. As summer goes on, the humidity usually gets in the 90s along with the temp and yes, we sit out in it. Of course, with plenty cold beverages!

Stay in the air conditioning all day and do anything you have to do outside in the evening when it's less humid.

@QVCkitty1 We had a low of 78 here in north Mississippi this morning with a humidity reading of 94%. We are supposed to hit 100 actual degrees today with an excessive heat warning. I know all about heat making one cranky! It is going to be a LONG HOT SUMMER. I can sympathize with your disdain of the heat as it feel like we are living among satan's soil.

@bmorechick , I get it , I myself love winter. Different strokes.

@QVCkitty1 Yeah Absolutely! Now my youngest child disagrees with me and says mom and pops are nuts because he loves the colder weather. Of course, we rarely have any super cold weather anymore. I think last winter the coldest it got was in the 30s and that didn't last. Stay 😎 cool!

@QVCkitty1 Pack your things and come join us here in the high desert of New Mexico. Most of the year, our humidity runs about 6%, although I've seen it as low as 0%. Right now we're in our monsoon season with daily scattered showers which raise it considerably. This will soon be gone and well be back to normal.

The heat and humidity zaps my energy level, is unhealthy and I don't have motivation to do much. Thankfully the fall weather is ahead, my favorite time of year!!!!
