oklahoma is hot and humid. supposed to be about 95 with heat index of 105-107. There is a breeze so that helps.

It is 95 with a heat index of 110. Oh and we are on vacation......camping. Thank goodness we are in the fifth wheel here or I would be heading home.

I have 78 and 47% humidity. Very pleasant. It will get warm later as it is only noon. The car will be a sauna when I leave work this afternoon but it will cool down in the evening enough to have to put on something light over your shirt.

109 here yesterday... around 113 today... normally desert is dry... but its monsoon season.
Im about a mile up in altitude, its rained here once, but we can see the rain pouring on the mountain tops... so its been muggy here too :( i think if i wanted sinus issues caused by humidity , i could have stayed back east lol

Well it is 90 degrees but we are in SoCal so it is another wonderful day here. I am not sure what the humidity is but I am not sweating yet. I am pretty sure the humidity is much lower then over where you are. I am even hand sewing a binding onto a very large twin.

It is so hot and yucky here to. Right now it is 93 feels like 102 and the humidity is 54% and the dew point is 73. I am so sick of this weather. I am ready for the cold and snow. The colder the better for me.

I am in Alabama and a 7th generation Southerner. You would think after 48 years I would get used to the heat! One of our weathermen once described our weather as,"air you can wear"! Pretty typical of the South, I think!

Our building in work (off-site from the main buildings) lost a/c on Monday because a lightening strike fried one of the control boards; due to the economy, the manufacturer doesn't stock a lot of these boards so we don't know when it will be repaired. _:-(_

I'm working at home today, where there is a/c. Yesterday, I overheard one of the facility guys say that the vents were blowing 90 degree air and, with this humdity, that equates to 140 degrees! I don't know if he was serious or just joking but it certainly felt that way. As it is, the health inspector insisted on air quality checks this week; this building is known for ventilation problems as it is.

To top it off, my company, the main campus of which is located in new shiny COLD buildings, sent around a survey for employees to fill out. It's the Boston Globe's survey to determine the best 100 places to work. We've been on it for many many years but this year.... I'd like to see us end up on the list again but our top corporate's timing for distributing the survey couldn't have been worse! :-)
