I hear ya Andyx2

Front came through here this afternoon(Wednesday)nice to look at the temp at 11pm and not see it still in the 80s for a change!

Ha! I can't open my windows anytime from about early May till late November. Right now my a/c runs non-stop from noon till the sun goes down. Have you ever had sweat drenched underwear just from walking to the mailbox? LOL

I dont know, I love the heat! But before you know it, temps will be cool again so it wont be too much longer from now. Ideal temperature for me would be mid 80s during the day and upper 60s to low 70s at night, but I want that ALL YEAR LONG!!! Not a reality in the northeast or in most places in the US.

Wow it gets hot in those northern states and I am not sure how you take it lol. Here is a cool 95 with plenty of humidity that you can savor each and everyday. At night we get a little cool when it dips into the 80s but I think I can always put on a jacket if need be. I like those wonderful days in the morning when you can just stick your frying pan on the sidewalk and cook your eggs without wasting energy. Or maybe when you take a bath in the morning and you never dry all day. Well I hope for those cool upper 60 nights again and they will come around December lol.

You know how many South Floridians butch up to the torrid and steamy heat? They retreat to air-conditioned houses that are kept so frigid that this Yankee has to go outside just to warm up to avoid frost bite. They stay inside during the day, go out at night and come out again during the day some time in December. So, they go from air-conditioned homes, to air-conditioned cars, use drive-throughs for banking and other needs (so as to avoid getting out of their air-conditioned cars and actually having to, heavens forbid, walk). Meantime, if the outdoor temperature actually drops to the temperature they maintain their homes in the summer, they run for the sweaters. Yes, a hardy bunch indeed!:)

Seriously though, protracted hot and humid weather in the Deep South in the Summer is expected and people have learned either to live with it, insulate themselves against it with air-conditioning, or move. The issue in many more northern states is that air-conditioning is not nearly as standard as in the South (in homes, schools, etc.) Also, northern homes are build to insulate against cold--not heat. To give a more extreme example, much of Russia has been going through a heat wave of historic proportion. Moscow has had weeks now of record-breaking heat with temperature at or above 100 F. I was talking to a couple yesterday from Moscow and they report people there are just not equipped for the heat, few have air-conditioning. What's worse, is that there are peat fires burning all over the place making the air quality very bad. Of course, if their Winter is anything like last (which had record breaking cold--even by Russian standards), they'll eventually have to live and love in sub zero maximum temps soon enough. So as much as we Northerners, Easterners, Westerners and Southerners like to complain about the weather and boast as to our 'hardiness' and endurance, I think I'll reserve first prize in that category to the Russians.

Well it was 63 when I woke up this morning and the hunidity was gone. it is a VERY pleasant 74 right now. My perfect weather is 83-85 for a high and mid 60s at night with low humidity. I am hearing 89 and humid Minday though. At least I'm off Monday.

I wish life was so easy as air-cond to air-cond. I work outside and in and it is hot hot hot. I have been so hot I was thinking my skin was burning through my clothes. If you work on roofs in Florida you will know the meaning of hot. I have went to Ecuador in the summer and it was hot but Fl with our humidity is even worse to me. A person can not understand how rough it is working here outside until you do it. With all the heat here I rather live here than any other state in USA.

Any figure on the perfect range of temps need to add humidity into the mix.

We have had dewpoints as high as 86f here this summer,this produced a heat index one day of 134f.

I remember the temp was 100f at midnight in Phoenix,the humidity was in the single digits-that felt perfect to me!

Great swimming weather,it all depends on what your doing(-:

One day i do want to go to Florida in the summer to experience it. of course going for fun is far different than working on a roof. I can'r even imagine that. My perfect weather is on tap for today. They are sAying a high of 82 but it is 79 already. 66 tonight and 88 tommorow.
