I like to listen to it in the middle of winter when I'm longing for the heat and humidity of summer.

Like the wicked witch said in Oz,
I'm melting, oh never mind that was yesterday.
Guess I'm considered melted.

I am in the Atlanta area and we have had rain for the past week, so the temperature has stayed in the high 70s to low 80s.

In Iowa, the humidity is usually the problem (but the corn loves it). Sometimes it's like breathing through a hot, wet, towel.

Today it's hot, but not too humid (< than 50% humidity right now). The gnats are ridiculous, though. It's fine sitting on the patio in the shade with a beer, DU, and a citronella torch.

Down to 96° now.

Outside humidity is 80%.

All 3 parrots are panting. I'm dripping sweat.

Going out to bring in the sheets off the clothesline before nightfall.

We emptied the smaller fish tank after transferring the guppies to the bigger Koi tank.

The Koi is swimming happily in it's new outside pond.
A few beers sounds wonderful right about now. I've earned it.
Jeff R will be drinking a cool lemonade.


Your yard looks lovely, very inviting.


Cheers

I set our thermostat to 73 (sometimes 72) in the summer - feels great to come inside after getting too hot outside.

At least the clothes on the line dry super-fast!

I hope you find a way to keep cool!

where I am (near DC). I was out earlier today shopping and it felt like 96! I love summer but not the oppressive humidity. Thankfully I'm back inside my condo with the AC on full blast.
