You need to move down to Missouri.
Try growing up down there in a small house without air conditioning (and asthma) day after day, you will change your tune quickly
Nothing like waking up at 8 in the morning and its alrady 80F and humid with highs in the 90's! Yuck!
I'm glad Minnesota only sees brief periods like that.

I couldn't agree more with this post! I love the heat! I purposely visit family every summer in Texas - in the dead of heat. It's awesome!

I went camping for a week in Missouri for the last week in July. You're not kidding... it was literally 80 degrees before 8am and remember 95 degrees and humid before noon.

I'd love it. I'm a healthy person, so hot heat does hardly anything to effect me. I would 1000x much more feel hot than the slightest bit of cold.

Like the other day: Sitting in traffic with windows down it was 90 on my car thermometer (88 on my phone) and I was getting a nice little sweat...i was in heaven. that's how life should be.

You really need to move out of Minnesota.

K- needs to see more of the world outside of Minnesota. I worked in Washington DC a few years, where the the temperature and humidity get into the 90's for weeks on end from May through September.

There's a reason that DC shuts down for summer break. It's not pleasant.

You're telling me I need to get out more because I enjoy hot heat hot weather?? Grow up

I worked construction down in LaGrange GA a few years ago during the summer, it was the hottest of my life not used to that kind of sticky heat, but I do like the MIn summers

We drank beer at a place they called Suzzies. Knke0204 forgot to mention cold beer on a hot summer night

You reminded me of Meat Loaf song. Im going to go play it

Are you out of high school yet?

One also has to remember the sun angle is much more intense and direct in the southern-tier of the US. I was in Tulsa, OK a few weeks ago and got sunburned after only being outside a few hours. The sun angle is just extremely intense once you get south of 36-37N latitude. I am of northern European ancestry and am very fair skin- so I burn easily. I definitely like the climate of MN, particularly Duluth. I have lived in Chicagoland, Michiana, central New Hampshire, Kansas City metro, and Louisville metro. I prefer the climate of New Hampshire the most (winter sun/snow and 70s and 80s all summer long)
