The punch line from a joke that's ALMOST as old as me, but it applies to this:
We had a brief respite from triple digit heat this week, which ended yesterday when our high was a rather balmy-feeling 84 degrees. No more, and it ain't a DRY heat, neither. I was just outdoors and it sure feels like the humidity is higher than specified above. I know, I KNOW... some people would kill for 33% humidity.
Go on... you can say it: "Poor Baby."

I know that joke. I love that joke.
ReplyDeleteYour weather? Not so much.
I love that ol' joke, too. And my WX? Not so much. ;-)
DeleteI think that's why it is sometimes referred to as relative humidity.
ReplyDeleteIt's all related to that which you are accustomed.
25% is high for us.
50% is low for Detroit.
Then there's the tropics.
I do believe the most miserable summers in my life were spent in Dee-troit. Summer there is a classic case o' "ya hadda be there" to understand. I've been in the tropics during the summer, too, but there ain't much difference between the seasons there: the WX is ALWAYS hot.
DeleteNa, I liked summers in Detroit. I worked at the marina at Selfridge and we had air conditioning in our MWR trailer by the lake :)
ReplyDeleteDid you hear about the penguin that was driving through your neck of the woods last year? He had car trouble and had a mechanic look at his car while he went to the supermarket to cool off in the freezer section.....
I have a story about a non-air conditioned house in Dee-troit, a wife, and knock-down, drag-out fights over whether or not to spend the money on central air. She relented after one summer.
DeleteIn re: the penguin. Heh.
