Popular Post smudge ★ Posted August 6, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted August 6, 2022 My mom doesn't get around well nowadays. There is an art fair going on in Escanaba, so I asked if she wanted to go. Of course she did. I asked HoSmudge to help me install his scooter carrier on my truck so I could take my mom's scooter to the art fair for her. That was when I realized my mistake. 900% humidity!!!!! HoSmudge and I had been in our air conditioning, so I had no idea how humid it was outside. I went back inside and changed into lighter weight clothes. Good news is my mom and I figured out how to tilt the scooter carrier, load the scooter, and tie it down securely. We got pretty good at it. And she really enjoyed her time out there. Apparently she is oftentimes cold, so she didn't mind the weather. I, on the other hand, sweat like a horse! I got home, washed up, and have no intention of going back outside. Blech!! 5 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted August 6, 2022 Share #4 Posted August 6, 2022 We've got light rain and mist at 100% RH, but it is only 55F. That will probably be our high temperature for the day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted August 6, 2022 Share #5 Posted August 6, 2022 You are a good daughter. If it's hard for her to get out, a day at the art fair must have been a real treat for her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Beanz Posted August 6, 2022 Share #6 Posted August 6, 2022 Doing a search, max I've seen mentioned is 200. Couldn't find anything about 900 percent. Is that even possible? I saw something about a high humidity reading blooper but that's about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Beanz Posted August 6, 2022 Share #9 Posted August 6, 2022 Looking at the humidity in the city mentioned it says 97 percent. Maybe it was mistaken earlier at 90 percent but a blooper or misread at 900 percent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR46 Posted August 7, 2022 Share #15 Posted August 7, 2022 The half marathon running this evening as we were driving home looked like it was a light turnout. Normally we will see 3 times the amount of runners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted August 7, 2022 Share #17 Posted August 7, 2022 Humidity is the price we in Central and Eastern Shore Maryland pay for the wonders of the Chesapeake Bay. I'm going to start working on my shed at 8 am today, 79° but feeling like 87° and very warm, waiting for when I know my nextdoor neighbors will be awake my I won't wake them, and by 9 am my undershirt and tee shirt will be soaked because perspiration can't dissolve into the already nearly saturated air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted August 7, 2022 Share #18 Posted August 7, 2022 I have started wearing only wicking t shirts in the summer and it is so much nicer than the cotton or cotton poly blends that get so saturated. They only get wet on super hot and humid days like we are having recently, but stay dry on days that are not quite so severe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is no such thing as 900% humidity. Ok, I’ve discovered the 900% humidity. Humidity is normal in Florida and don’t even think of it as go about the day. A couple of days ago had a short mid-morning rain and cleared up nicely to a nice sunny day. Went out to get the mail, and ah the nice fresh smell after the rain. Then it hit me. The sun was evaporating the water and it was a friggin sauna I was walking through! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted August 7, 2022 Share #20 Posted August 7, 2022 We’re dealing with it here today. Excessive heat index warning. I need to go somewhere to beat the heat this afternoon. Birdwatching in the swamp was surprisingly comfortable yesterday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to retire north. Not sure how that will work. But my argument is, if the weather keeps changing, northern property values will go up when people start migrating to cooler climates. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a small house in the south and a small house in the nort? How about one of those motorhomes the size of a house with matching trailer where you can drive to what ever weather you want for that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One son lives down south and already bought a HUGE house with an inlaw suite over the garage. Our other son is bidding on a property up in the north woods with a huge chalet and a separate guest/in law cabin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around Christmas time we will probably park our motorhome in our son's driveway for a week or two. Maybe drive to Florida for a week or two. We are taking about leaving the motorhome and race trailer in Georgia and fly back to Wisconsin for a few weeks before the race season starts in the south. Rumor has it that the first race will be at Daytona. Not thrilled about racing Daytona again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted August 7, 2022 Share #36 Posted August 7, 2022 For the last few days the temps have been in the 80s, and the humidity had been 80%. At night it get a bit cooler but the humidity goes into the 94% range. Our ride on the tandem yesterday... I had to stop and ring out my headband. It rained a lot today... the temp is now 80 and the humidity is 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
