Wheres the heat ??

You need to look at dew points and humidity which seem to be left out of a lot of weather reports in Florida. Then add in the sun beating down on you which can really intensify how uncomfortable it feels.

Oh I'd be happy to, Mr. Student. Would you like to know how dew points work, or relative humidity?

I know........its a dry heat....right......LOL
Yes, the 90-100 degree summers suck, we had 109 this year, but the point is, the humidity is very low. 95° at 20% humidity feels a HELL of a lot better than 95° at 70% humidity.

I try and take a positive look on things. When the weather gets warmer like today, I inadvertently get more exercise. While enjoying the outdoors with peace and quiet, I can watch the birds and squirrels fight over bird seeds. All the while having to get up and refill my adult beverage over and over again due to the higher temps.

Isn't relative humidity the sweat worked up by a fellow in the Deep South when he's having sex with his cousin ?
