Rained this morning, then 85, cranked up the ac. Should be 55 tonight though. Wet year in MT so far, haven’t watered my lawn once so far.

Rocky, my youngest lives down your way and she texted me a bit ago to show me they're cooler than we are. I guess a storm rolled over and they dropped to 61F.
We're up to 35% humidity today and it feels like a swamp, I guess somewhere along the line I became a lizard.
What would Porter Rockwell do?

You sure do. Sweat is still pouring out, but it evaporates instantly. Because you don't realize you're sweating, you forget to drink water. By the time you feel thirsty, you're way behind on hydration. Not true. The message of over-hydration is bull chit. Drink when you are thirsty. Don't think about it otherwise

Our high temperatures have been running just under 100 for the past several weeks. A few days just over 100. Usually about 105 this time of year until it starts raining. Rained this afternoon and dropped from 97 to 62. Very pleasant evening.

July and August in Tennessee is "Stew in your own juices" according to my wife.
Course she seldom ventures out.
Was hot/humid enough mowing today I can assure you!
Sure am looking forward to NM/CO in September!

Got all the way up to 77 today. Nice little breeze to boot.
Should cool off to about 57 tonight.

My desert experiences were as a truck driver.
That big windshield would let the sun in.
You would be warm waist up in front,
Ass and back soaking wet,
Legs and knees cold from the maxed ac.
And drinking water like a fish, even you were just riding and gliding.
The air flat dried you out.
Then, in the high desert, it got dark and you needed a jacket.
Weird stuff to an Appalachian boy.

I tried an Idaho spun vodka in a martini tonight (and I am a firm gin martini guy) and it was excellent. I hit a car show today in Spokane and saw the low 80's and arrived at the cabin in the afternoon and saw 75. Windows are open and all is good as I type at 62.

Friday four of us flew down to Tangier Island VA for an overnight trip and Roof and I were putting the plane back in the hangar upon return yesterday. 90 degrees, 75% humidity. The guy getting the plane ready in the hangar next to us is in from Utah (Mil in for a TDY) and said "I'm loving this humidity". We both thought reporting an insane pilot might be in the public interest but held off.

At the same time, Claudia and I were in Maine. Just before a front came through, it was extremely sticky and near 90°. THESE Utahns were definitely not pleased with the humidity. In fact, it was the first time in decades that taking a shower was a twice daily chore.

For the last week here humidity has been low 90s in the mornings dropping to 60% in the afternoons. Temps 70s in morning to mid 90s in the afternoons. It will definitely make you sweat and it doesn't dry and cool you. Low humidity is a blessing.

A doctor friend who is a big golfer told me about the golf courses in April when it's warming up and dry and the winter visitors are enjoying it and 'hydrating' with beer and then playing golf and dropping like flies from dehydration. There are a lot of people you can tell, but you can't tell them much.

only thing that gets me through late July & August in my parts.......
monsoonal rain systems move north from Mexico & AZ....
Right over Utah......afternoon T/storms cool it off nicely
but of course dry lightning strikes & erratic winds don't help keep fires down

Sat outside with my Friday martini for an hour. Delightful on my front porch. While there, we hit our high for the day at 98° and the humidity was way up there at 12%. My old bones loved it, but I could feel my skin drying out as I sat there. Ah heck, lotion is cheap. Grrrrrr. Gonna be near 98F + over 75% humidity = heat index near 103+... Can't wait...  I don't mind heat, but that damned humidity makes anything miserable..
