Here it's over 35C every day of the summer and just as humid starting in May until October.

We're thinking of moving back to a cool climate like Toronto!

I am like you. I moved from Alabama where the humidex can hit 45-50 most of the summer (March through November). It is even humid there in the winter! I definitely prefer the weather in Toronto. At least I know the heat won't last long and I have my A/C to use when it is too hot.

Dyslexia regards.

Living by the lake you do get periods of high humidity - it's part of the Canadian summer. Yes, some days are horrid - it's not nice being hot and sweaty but all you need to do crank up the air conditioning (if you don't have AC then go to a shopping mall for the afternoon) purchase an electric fan - put ceiling fans in rooms they work wonders to move the air about. Pools are great for cooling off, or a day trip to the lake. Have plenty of ice tea and ice lollies in stock. Cheers!

Really off-topic I know, but had to share this: I saw a Jeep Renogade the other day with "Hummer Rescue Squad" in three-inch high letters on the top of it's windscreen. Made me chuckle at the time.

A Jeep Grand Cherokee pulled on to out camp site last weekend, right next to our tent and promptly sank in the sand. I was delighted to be able to say "Do you need help ? I have a rope, and a Ford Mustang". They dug it out rather than accept a tow.

They'll be the ones who swapped your DEET for cheapo hair conditioner when they'd dug their car out...

Just what were you and your other half doing in that tent?

Pretty much what anyone would do in a small tent shared with 65lbs of hairy dog.

I used to have a girlfriend a bit like that.
