FlyingJ 0 #26 July 18, 2009 For those joking about a dry heat not making much of a difference, try out 98 degrees with 90% RH and let me know what you think about the dry heat! Goes the same for the cold. I've lived in places where a high of -10 was a heatwave and have never been colder than I was on a windy day that was 45 and 90% RH. Didn't matter how many layers you wore, the wet cold got through 'em all!Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not hot weather person (give me the pacific northwest anyday) but I've done 128 dry and that is WAY better than 90s wet. Just the other day the actual temp here in AL was only 84 but the humidity made the heat index 111 and its was unbearable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azdiver 0 #29 July 18, 2009 well right now in az its monsoon season, usually, so normally it would be 115 with 80 humidity and no wind. right now its just damed hot here. Ive lived and worked in the south and its worse here to me than there.light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davjohns 1 #30 July 18, 2009 117 in Baghdad. It's been bouncing between 113 and 117 for weeks. Just starting to take an upturn.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #35 July 18, 2009 I thought about jumping today, then I felt the humidity when I opened the door to let the cat out. Ugh...forget it.

LyraM45 0 #39 July 18, 2009 I'm in Houston.... don't even ask. Just got back from NJ, and I forgot two things that jogged backed to memory while back up there: -What rain looks like (almost crapped myself when I saw it rain while I was up there.) -And what it feels like to be under 100 degrees without 100% humidity. Felt nice to breathe again! Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
