I'm out on my screen porch enjoying 85 degrees, sunny, humid (but only 68% humidity) dew point 72...it's thick and I'm in a full sweat as is my glass of iced tea.  First taste of my beloved humid MD summer.  Can't wait.

But thunderstorms moving across the bay are going to sadly cool it off in about two hours.  Enjoying it for now though 😎

@bmorechick.  Humidity ONLY 68%?  We consider ours low when it's 6%, or less.  Albuquerque area.

I'm already looking forward to November!!  Much prefer the cooler weather.  I'm in Chicago where it's close to 90 even by the lake.

@Kachina624  Humidity that low NEVER  registers like that here.  The lowest is usually 35-40% and that's in the winter.  Summertime it hovers between 80 and 90%, which means when you go outside and sit like we do, your skin is wet and sweaty in about 10 minutes.  Even at the beach.  My hair has a wavy field day and I look forward to that too because I get a head full.

My son spends time out West in summer and he always talks about low humidity in places like AZ and NM and sometimes CA.  He says it's so weird the difference between hot and dry.  Said it's like a blast furnace.🔥

@kaydee50   I am a definitely a cool weather fan.. Love the fall.  I could live in that climate year round.  I was in Hobby Lobby this week and they were putting out fall decor.  Yes... a little early...but I still like looking....🍁

I just spent a couple hours in the yard trimming my shrubs...and it's 91°  and 10% humidity in PHX.

I don't usually stay outside after 10a.m. -- but I was afraid a neighbor would report me to the HOA for "excess flower petals".     

That is NOT a joke.   People have reported me for lesser "infractions"...and there is a cash penalty.

About 60 here with on and off spits of rain.

Had to check, the claim is 64% humidity with 48 dew point?  

No chance of any sun AT ALL until perhaps a bit on Thursday.

We sure live in different worlds don't we?

It's so nice here today. Only 83° with 27% humidity. Loving it. Dejavu tomorrow. Sun-Mon storms, wind, hail, tornadoes. Tue-Thurs in the 70's.

92 -97 degrees all week in Tampa Bay area. Sunny, humid. Our Florida summer starts early. I'll take it any day over a northern winter.

It's 84 degrees with dewpoint 45 where I live.
