Hot and Humid!!!

[Janet]

The only thing I can really say about humidity is that "it sucks big time." Same thing going on today. We did have some thunder and lightning last night, but no big storm. I don't think we got much rain either. Didn't see any puddles in the road.

We have more rain today. In fact, it's lightly raining now. I'm tired of it especially since we've gotten enough for the moment. I'm ready for sunshine and warm weather.

We put some stuff in our pond to make it clear and nice and blue. I've really been enjoying swimming and with this rain, no sunshine, and the cooler weather I'm afraid that the water will be too cold to swim in after this. Have I mentioned that I absolutely love to swim?

Okay, what percent humidity do you have? Ours is predicted to be 98% today, and that's about typical. A few days ago, it got down to 50%. It was sooo hot that day. At 98% my skin feels fine. When we get lower, I feel like I'm drying up like a raisin or something. When we go to Colorado in the winter, my skin cracks (literally), my nose bleeds, my lips crack from the dryness. My family doesn't seem to be bothered by the dryness as much as I am, not quite true, hubby does have problems here in the winter with dry skin on his legs and feet.

I just looked up Baltimore 86%, Topeka, KS 92%, Indianapolis 90%. Y'all look about right to me. Seriously, I'm not making fun or anything.

We do have to you some pretty serious no frizz products and hair spray to keep our hair under control. The young ladies just twist it up in a hair tie and let it go.

Our humidity is at 37% on one place that I looked and here's yours for today. (Personally I do think that it's higher than than because everything's wet.).....

Here's something that shows everyone's humidity........

The high humidities were probably because of the rain. We're not usually that high. Colorado does have lower humidity in the winter and I have trouble with cracked lips and dry skin when I'm out there too.

It was much lower today with some wind...really quite comfortable. Saturday our high is in the low 70's....hope the humidity is low too.

That US Humidity map is very interesting. I thought the humidity was higher in coastal regions, and did not realize that it was that humid in the eastern US, far from the coast. Very interesting and educational. Thank you for posting, Diana.

Wunderground is one of my favorite sites for watching the tropical (hurricane) weather. I tried to go to it a couple of days ago and couldn't. Don't know if the site was temporarily down or what. I thought they had shut down. Glad to see it still works!!

Today is such a beautiful day. Sun shining, a wonderful cool breeze....wish it could stay this way all the time. I have all the windows open and it's so relaxing.
