Dirtyhip Posted July 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2019 Cool temps. Clear air. I feel we are so lucky right now, right @Dottie. It has been so beautiful. The most beautiful Spring and Summer in years. People were whining when the rain just would not let up, in Spring. Now, we are reaping that reward of the late rains. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in a "pretty good but not great" summer so far. The rain from last year is mostly absent, the massive heat & humidity is not as bad as it could be, and there may be some opportunities for camping coming up. On the flip side, it isn't cool enough to make it a "great" summer. June was pretty good (almost great), but we're about to hit triple digit heat indexes for a few days.

Did my ride early today before any heat. Today was nice. Some days early riding is so humid that my glasses fog over and there are blinding shafts of sunlight between the trees.

The lower Gulf Coast is nicer, more like an arm pit, or the back of the knee. The piney woods is Satan's taint.

But, uhhh, enjoy! We don't have a working air conditioner, and our temperatures normally hit a 100F for a few days each year. I don't think Chrisl has 100F days, but they do further inland. I imagine those folks use swamp coolers like we used in Arizona. They work well with low humidity, and cost less than running ac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t leave a window without screens open, the humming birds come in and can’t figure out how to get back out. I had one get so frustrated it went to a corner and sank to the floor totally frustrated. I reached down and picked it up and it gave a sigh and fainted. I took it outside and placed it in a hanging planter. In a few minutes it woke up and flew away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted July 18, 2019 Share #43 Posted July 18, 2019 Damp hot and humid, we get mosquitos at sunrise and sunset. I am enjoying summer so far and it started early with my trips to Croatia and Italy. The heat feels nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
