Air you can wear....go home

[newbiedmv]

It's been about two weeks with humidity at 95% and above. It rains with clear blue skies and you can hardly breathe. 

Yall from the south can keep it. I have 2 dehumidifiers running 24/7 to keep my house from turning green.

Send it out west

Where are you from......division of motor vehicles? Lol

It's been incredibly humid here in VA this summer and hot.

We had 4 days of no humidity and overnight lows in the low 50’s last week. Now it’s extremely muggy and everything is sticky again! I’m to the point of wishing for fall.

The middle of the dmv. Humidity off the bay, Appalachians stopping it.

It's so wet I have to use 4 wheel drive to get in and out to the road. We put 40 ton of gravel down and it sunk in a few weeks. Really did, we had to regrade.

It's supposed to go down to 80% next week.

Oh... md

We use DMV here as a general area Delaware, md, VA. Even have a TV station named DMV.

It sucks if you have allergies

We've been having hot/humid weather this week - temps near or over 90. Now Friday night we're suppose to have storms and after they pass, high temps will drop to 70s and low 80s.

 

About time - I haven't been able to do much with the trailer without risking heat exhaustion.

I've tried to go out around 5:30 am but couldn't breath well enough to hook up and I was soaked in 4 to 5 minutes. 

 

CANADA HERE I COME

   Ya gotta watch that Canadian stuff there, ya. Five years ago I saw a grizzly in the Yukon, running like all get-out. He was being chased by a mosquito. Our guide said that if there had been two mosquitos, the grizzly wouldn't have had a chance.

   I have vacationed in Arizona ever since.  ? ? ?                  jj

Love me some humid nasty hot weather, and some moderately cold weather too. (Nothing under 20 degrees please)

 

I like being out on the boat when it’s “too hot” or “too cold” for everyone else

Someone tried to tell me that 'It's not that bad'...I showed them this graph

 

 

Now try to tell me that Climate Change isn't real...

[Choporoz]

I'm with ya, dmv.  I hate the cold, so I'm pretty committed to not complaining about the heat...but the humidity here in NOVA the past few days is something.  Last night, I was sitting outside after dark enjoying a cigar.  It was only 74 degrees,  but I was still drenched in sweat after 20 minutes.

Climate has never done anything but change. Just ask a wooly mammoth. Remember this winter with all the precedents set for cold in Texas and Louisiana?? Most forgot on the first day of summer 

[jbsoonerfan]

LOL!!!! Humid? You don't say?

This must be an emergency.  At the current rate of "warming", half the ice in

Greenland will be gone in 12,000 years.

You don't have to go south to have constant humidity.

I grew up among the vast corn forests of rural eastern Iowa.

In late July and August the corn sweat would frequently raise the local humidity to over 95%.

the air would be so heavy you could feel it when you walked outside. In the mornings every thing would be saturated from the dew.

Now living in Kansas City, I laugh when some of the locals complain when the humidity hits 75%. That would be a dry spell where I grew up.

We’ve been having 95-100% humidity most mornings.  I try to fish early and leave by midday.  My extra cooler filled with ice and water allows me to keep a wet cool endura cloth around my neck.

People think I have a leaky roof or basement. But I really have a high powered dehumidifying/humidifying HVAC system. There’s a pump on it to pump the water out. Originally it was routed out to my driveway. During a very dry winter a few years back, the excess water from the humidifier left a trail of ice in the driveway about 2” thick. I later rerouted the outlet to prevent the driveway icing. Nothing beats good humidity control.
