    Stunned What circle of Hades is this?

    91 degrees F (33 degrees C)
    Feels like 100 degrees F (38 degrees C)
    54% humidity
    71 degrees F dewpoint (22 degrees C)

    Just your normal late July day in Washington. Walk a couple of blocks and you're soaked.

    I admit that I'm a wimp.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

    Exactly the same in Toronto.

    34 degrees C
    Feels like 43 degrees C
    47% humidity

    I spent my lunchbreak outside reading. I like the sun, but having beads of sweat roll down my arms from my generously anti-perspiranted armpits worries me a bit.

    Yesterday it was 90 degrees here in Portland. It felt like what 80 degrees feels like on the East Coast.

    I wish we had 54% humidity.

    Temperature means ****. I can take 42 degrees no sweat ( literally), as long as it's nice and dry, and I am properly hydrated. This sort of weather here today made me beg for mercy at 33 ( and around 80% humidity)

    Even though I readily admit that I am a weather wimp, I note that Atlanta's average temperature at this time of the year is only 1 degree Farenheit higher than Washington's.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck.

    Yes, but Atlanta doesn't have the luxury of a mere 54% humidity in July.

    I'm in Rhode Island right now, and it's supposed to be cold up here, but lately it has been in the high 80s, sometimes even the 90s...the humidity has drifted up into the 80%90% range, and is expected to get higher...unlike most of America, there are no air conditioners up here, dang...

    I hear it's worse at home in St. Louis...

    It got up to 85 on the Oregon Coast yesterday. You might not think that's hot until you realize that we like to be judged on our toughness using a sliding scale.

    That's cause it rained every day last week so much of humidity fell to the ground.
