I couldn't breathe in those temps. The highest I was able to acclimate to was 73 but I got dehydrated pretty quickly if I'm not drinking a lot of water. I don't sweat I just turn red and itchy. I stop sweating in 2005 after being ill. I lived on the coast in NC at the time so it was a huge adjustment.

I actually grew up without air conditioning. I use to sleep under a sheet thrown over a box fan to make a tent. The house was probably in the 90s all summer. I'm such a wimp now. lol

I heard about the heat wave there. It was 68F all day. I'm enjoying the cool weather.

It was in the low 90s today, instead of the high 90s, so that's an improvement. Still pretty humid, though, and not too many clouds.

After two weeks of rain and cloudy humid weather the sun is shining today. The cats are rejoicing! Maybe we can start to dry out now.
It's 77F out suppose to get to 86F today. Sent from my XT1528 |

We had some heavy rain overnight, but not much thunder. It seems to have taken some of the humidity out of the air, and our temperature won't hit the 90s, so it's more comfortable out there.

According to my knees, there's a front moving through.
And, according to my knees, it's coming in from the left. |
