you're so obsessed with the heat and yet you've never had any first-hand, personal experience with such. Doesn't that feel strange to you?
Never had any?
So sitting in a parked car on a 98 F day in the sun isn't heat?
96 F with 66% humidity and overcast isn't heat?
103 F with 35% humidity and bright sun in NC isn't heat?
98 F and clear sky in a semi-arid sandy/rocky park, where the dry soft sand scorches any skin that it touches? (tops of feet, ankles etc.)
If you are talking hotter heat than that
well I can't help that that kind of heat has never existed in my lifetime.
I'll go on loving the kind of heat that exists in my part of the world.
I don't mind that I might have never seen a true heat index of 125+ F outdoors in the shade,
but I have seen plenty of heat indices of 110 F and a few 115's F. Liked them.
I'm working on a new, improved "dream climate", which probably sums up my personality better than the last ones I've mentioned.
This one has even more sunshine as my previous FLA City only had a mouldy 2500hrs a year and Coltingbury's 3000 a year is a little on the dull side for my liking. Coltingbury also had too cold winters (4-14°C or so) with too much cloud, and FLA City had far too much cloud and rain in winter, which I wouldn't enjoy. So the new climate, called "Capitoll City", shall have sunny and dry winters with mild daytime temps but coolish nights. Temps reaching 17°C on average in the day. Summers will remain hot but slightly less humid. Spring months will also be made a bit warmer. Thunderstorms will still remain a regular feature.
When I've completed the 30 years weather data for it in Excel I will post the averages.
The best way I could describe my ideal climate would be winters like San Francisco's early autumn; generally sunny with interesting foggy episodes occasionally, with monsoonal Indian summers akin to cities like Mangalore. Cool-season dry with torrential hot-season wet, almost all of the rain in summer and most of the sun in the winter.
The sun will be on vacation again this week. Drizzle and light rain shouldn't be more than a nuisance at the beginning of the week, but a more potent storm is expected to bring heavy rain and gusty winds next weekend.
