I like the clouds and thunderstorms, but do NOT like the humidity, skeeters, and dust. Just when we get some variety, it brings about other negatives. I'm just counting down the days til October.

Yesterday it was 103 outside with 55% humidity and the dewpoint was 72...yes it felt humid. However, as the sun went down the evening weather was so pleasant I was able to drive with my windows down. I did the same thing this morning in 88 degrees with 45% humidity and a dewpoint of 64. I actually like a little moisture in the air and am grateful the monsoon makes summer somewhat bearable.

I do! Not a day goes by where I don't look out at the Estrellas and stare in awe. Saguaros are still as magical to me as they were 15 years ago. I just hate the monsoonal humidity and bugs, that's all.


Its like we wait for rain to get here to change up the weather, but then the humidity soars and bugs from Hell emerge, ruining the experience. In the 2 minute walk to my car in the morning, I'm literally sweating from the humidity. I miss the dry air. Well, let me rephrase: I miss the COOL dry air.

The humidity is horrible and it really wears me down year after year. I really can't stands these high dew point days and really can't wait until the monsoons are over. The countdown has begun!

Yeah I was out on the mountain from 6 to 7:45, felt great. Didn't run into any bugs, I sweat but that happens when it's dry too. The air is nice and clean, fires are over and the sunsets look awesome with the clouds. I also skipped the a/c on the way home.

Last night was the grossest of the year so far. It literally felt like Florida when I walked to the store last night. According to what I saw, it was 87 degrees with 70% humidity and a 65 degree dew point. Absolutely putrid.


Cant wait for the "its never as humid here as it is in the East" crowd to chime in.
