I live in Raleigh and the humidity is AWFUL. I was born and raised in North Carolina and it still isn't something I've gotten used to. The humidity peaks in Aug-Sep at over 90%. I can walk from my front door to my car and my clothes are soaked. Something I do everyday in the hottest months is watch the news and see what "color" day it is. Red is when you should keep tabs on your older family members and eat lunch at your desk!

I live San Diego, CA.
I can't tell you all the people here that keep telling me I am crazy for moving to North Carolina this up coming year. "The humidity, the bugs"
Well I just spent this past summer, in 110-118 temperature, with hot winds, then we got into the autum, and the heat continued. My husband and I just hung up our Christmas lights outside with shorts and tanks tops. We were boiling, how crazy is that?? We have a thing called the "santa Anas" when the wind blows hard and hot, and nothing is dryer than that. Your skin becomes so dry that you have lotion everywhere you go, or else your skin cracks.
Bring on the humidity......

We are moving to Louisburg next month from Huntington Beach....and yes, the humidity is a negative factor.....but.....it's offset by the quality of life.....in our humble opinion......and I'll just keep reminding myself of that next August...

The yearly average of humidity in the state is actually 65%. At the moment it is 38%  Tell those people out in San Diego living in all those overpriced homes (if they even own a home since so many are priced out of reach for the average working guy) that they are the crazy ones for staying there, not you for coming here

Loves Mountains;
Exactly. Believe me, this is not a spur of the moment decision. We have been planning this exodus for about six years now. My husband turns fifty this up coming year, so he will be able to retire from the UC system and we will move and he will try to continue employement in the UNC system. We have narrowed it down to Holly Springs, Clayton or Garner. After living in .18 acre lots, I need some room to stretch!!

Come on down. I wouldn't want to live in an area where homes are out of most peoples ranges, and with no 4-season climate. I'm never leaving NC!!! |

We're considering a move to Greensboro from the west side of Michigan (Holland, right on Lake Michigan). I'm a humidity-hater and I hear Greensboro is bad...just hope that with it not being by the water, it's not as bad as y'all say...
