Not too humid, not too hot, a fan is plenty at night, which is good as the cottage has no a/c at all. We have been here in past years when it was both very hot and humid, after 3 nights of that I was getting ready to break out the credit card and go to Walmart to buy an inexpensive window unit, or just bag it and go home when the heat wave broke. This year has been the nicest I can remember. Plus with the supermoon full moon we have had a lot of sandbar time, and have even seen some horseshoe crabs coming in to bury their eggs. So am enjoying the beach and family time.<br /><br />SuzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-40280812650023953912022-07-17T10:34:09.294-07:002022-07-17T10:34:09.294-07:00Same here, dry heat good, wet heat bad.Same here, dry heat good, wet heat bad.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-5385878385464738542022-07-17T09:42:06.149-07:002022-07-17T09:42:06.149-07:00For me, it's dewpoint, not temperature.

I love the months in Mesa AZ, up at five, two mile walk to coffee shop with laptop & wifi, two miles home ... temps mostly above 90°F. Three hours later, the golf courses' sprinkling was all in the humidity and I hid indoors.

It's been 100 plus since about April. Morning lows are about 75-80 with humidity at 90% or higher, then 105 or so during the day with about 30% humidity. Day after day after day.... The sky has a white cast to the blue. That's the typical color for this kind of heat. I still hang my clothes on the line, and the other day, they sheets and tee shirts were dry in less than twenty minutes. I ain't just woofing. Glad you guys are having it nice, someone needs to, helps offset the suffering down here across the fence from the heliosphere....STxARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588850178293194825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-86511901450799155672022-07-17T06:04:48.248-07:002022-07-17T06:04:48.248-07:00Not sure but apparently she ran into some copyrigh...Not sure but apparently she ran into some copyright stuff over the original name of the channel.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-13344779219869253042022-07-17T05:57:41.056-07:002022-07-17T05:57:41.056-07:00German Girl in America is great!
