Folks in your part of the country start dieing when it gets that hot with high humidity. Where I grew up, 100 is no big deal. But when I was in College at TAMU, I thought I was gonna die when the temp was 99 and the damn humidity was 95%. It was Frickin miserable !


Not really, here in Northern MN the temps range from well below zero (-50) to 100* plus with 100% humidity, we handle it just fine.

My Father-in-Law a northern boy, was in the south pacific during WWII. He said the weather was hot and humid. I asked him why the army would send northern boys to such a hot and humid place. Said because we have grown up dealing with extreme temperature changes our whole life and our body could adapt. He said guys from the south had a much harder time dealing with the temps and the temp changes than the norther boys.

True or not, I don't know, but it made sense at the time I heard it.


Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
