Re: So, Is Everyone Else Sweltering too???

We've had days where the weather says 95 but the humidity makes it feel like a 115.

I can't drink water fast enough to replace what I'm losing.

Mind you, we've had a lot of rain and thunder with it but unlike England, the thunder just brings more humidity.

Yep.... you drink and drink and drink and still don't have to pee.

Toontje didn't mind two weeks of it, but it's the four months of it that gets to me.

It's 5:15 CST and it's 114 outside with 36% humidity. I think we will be drawing straws to see who fire up the grill.

We were out in the boat in that. It hit us with no warning down by Salem just as I was trying to tie the boat to the mooring ball. :scared:

I helped my youngest daughter & her fiance move into their new apartment this weekend. Humping furniture and boxes up a flight of stairs in this weather was NOT fun. I think I poured as much water OVER me as into me trying to keep cool.
