Mummy in the foothills

I'd been dreading today, it's always hot in August and I knew we had to be outside at a carnival from 3pm on.
Well it's cloudy, and tropical, it got up to about 85 and we had occasional rain drops and occasional sun. I loved it, I could have stayed out for hours more in it, I hardly broke a sweat!
All these years I've been in the wrong place, who has this great weather in summer?

I had my first 90 day today, actually went right past 90 to 100. Bone dry though, humidity in the teens with a nice breeze.

You'll be telling us next that you will be abandoning your plans to move back to the UK next Spring as you won't be able to cope with the cool British Summer weather lol!

I'm spending the summer in Toronto...almost 100F + high humidity and I'm loving it. Winter will be upon us all too soon.

Mummy in the foothills

Oh hell no, I'm now hoping my first summer back is hot and humid and I'll be in heaven apparently That or we'll have to travel to Spain, they get some humidity don't they?
Not sure if I could cope with 100 and humid, but then I've never tried I might like it. I think the cloud helped a lot, my eyes didn't hurt and get all tired like in the sunshine.

You're a better woman than I am Mummy Din.

We had 95 and humid yesterday.. It didn't cool down at night, and we don't have AC. And, surprisingly, I was tolerating it. OMG, I'm becoming acclimatized to this place after twenty two years? That's scary.

WEBlue

We had the same temperatures and I decidedly was NOT tolerating it! Unless tolerating it means moaning all day, wearing a wet handtowel round my neck whenever I had to go out, & jumping in the bath several times when I couldn't stand it anymore . . . .

Family in England ask if we miss those overcast, wet, rainy summers in England? Do I ever!!!! If I live through this miserable summer, I'll be astonished . . . .

MadRad

Don't know what temperature it was today, other than too ruddy hot. Summer is seriously overrated. Bring on the sub-zeroes again. It's 51 days till my local ski resort start snow-making - not that I'm counting or anything.

I remember when we lived in Minehead in Somerset, going for a long coast path walk one December 31st, and noting that it was warmer that day than it had been six months before, June 30th. Both days were ideal hiking weather, and the gorse was gloriously in bloom both days! I'd like to see something trying to be in bloom in mid winter here..

You may have been in the wrong state...

I have on occasion been in a right state...

Mummy in the foothills

So have I

Dunno which part of NY you live mate - but I here in central NY am DYING for that biting cold and snow to show up. I really dislike the 95 degree, sticky humidity. You can't go outside and do anything.

Lion in Winter

Of course you can. You can go camping with the extended family.....


Yes, I know I'm cruel.

Charma1ne

I hate how hot and humid NY can get!!! It makes you want to stay in the car/home all day hugging the AC!!! I tell you my husband thought we could survive without an AC ... Within 24 hours I had bought one haha he loves the heat I have to say there is something about a warm but overcast day that speaks to my heart...haha
