The humidity is definitely the worst aspect of the weather here. Compare a 90 degree day on LI to one in Denver or an inland part of California where it is hod and dry. You go in the shade and it's actually pleasant. Here the shade offers little comfort.
Last June/July I was in Utah. Prior to leaving I was complaining about the daily temps I read for the area 100, 102. I will take 100 in Utah over 85 and humid on LI ANYDAY.
Perhaps I am sensitive to the humidity since I live in a wonderful, almost perfect climate now. Been off LI a while, so maybe I forgot how bad the humidity was. One day the weather was 65 degrees..humidity 100% it felt like it was 90 degrees out. The whole week the lowest the humidity got was 75%, with most other days humidity at approx. 95%
It's not like that all the time. We had a lot of humidity and rain the last week or 2. The forecasters got the weather all wrong last week. But it's spring and we do get a lot of rain this time of year but I've definitely experienced worse
Florida is MUCH worse humidity wise. Try being in southern florida with 95 degree s , 100 percent humidity for a week straight. Even the pools and beach were no help because they felt like bath water.
It's funny because all people do is complain about the weather in NY... especially when it gets slightly humid. or cold. or snowy... you get the point.
You go to Florida and people don't complain all day because it's hot and humid you just shut up and go inside to the A/C. or when there's a hurricane you just put the shutters up and grab some beer...
Lol are you kidding? This weekend was nothing compared to the humidity I used to deal with in Florida. I laugh when I hear people complain about the humidity up here.
The humidity in FL is a *****! Was at Disney in 06. The day we were leaving my wife wanted to go to the pool at the hotel. We stepped outside and the only way I could describe the humidity was like standing under a giant dog as he panted.
born and raised in south texas, i know humidity... and LI certainly has raging humidity. islands usually have significant humid yuckiness if you're 'inland'.
i agree with you, XL, orlando humidity is killer! i've lived in florida, texas, virginia - all horrid in the summer months. prescription: lots of showers and drink buckets of ice water!
I coudn't agree more. LI humidity is AWFUL! My husband and I were in south Florida all last week. The tempertature was higher and the humidity was worse on LI. My husband is from NC and I've been down there many times in the summer and it's so much worse here. I also lived in Georgia for two years and it's still worse on LI! Crazy.
