Around the city it's crazy when the rain seems to come mostly after 5pm just in time for rush hour.
There are lots of women that don't mind because they are always cold, but if you are one that has a normal body temperature (lots of women tend to have lower body temperatures than men, especially if they had children) then you will a sweaty mess.

You need a new job in Nj where you live or to retire. Your miserable in NYC, why keep doing it to yourself. Money is not everything!

Brace yourself for more of the same - though I'm not sure why you're heaping blame on skinny women.

it’s this bi-polar ass weather we’re having. Not even summer for me. Feels like the spring we never had

I also got my friend's slow cooker and have increased the amount of food recipes I know which makes me happy beef based curry for days.
Extreme weather of any kind is not pleasurable.

There are very few nice weather days in NYC. The only pleasurable season here for me is Fall.

It gets hotter than Atlanta and almost as cold as Minnesota. I'm tired of it but can't leave due to job security here.

Money is everything in this society. If you don't think so - Ask the bum on the street asking for change.

Yes, NYC's weather is all extremes. We get it all except for volcanoes. I've been around every natural disaster here. I remember the one year there was a water spout in the Narrows.

I feel sorry for you that you think that way.
I'll take my low paying career but being happy in my life (well minus my neighbor u all know about) any day over working some high paying job and being miserable.

Not sure why people think this summer is unusual. Its summer so its muggy and yes sudden violent rainstorms are likely to happen. This is why the wealthy (and even some not so wealthy) began to spend summer weekends elsewhere.

I can recall hotter summers. I remember one so hot that even the inside walls were piping hot.
