We were just staying by the ocean here in Europe the last 5 days. Beautiful scenery and so on but damm it was too humid. Course being right on the ocean did not help any. Walked 100 feet and all of us were sweating so much that it was time for another shower. Back now in London and actually enjoy the rain and 65 degree temps!

Still would rather be at home in Arizona and putting up with the heat and no humidity!

That's really the problem. Our water softener is outside.

I'll take the humidity - I'm used to it - sure you sweat - but I'd rather live with less heat.

I always felt like when you walked outside at (105+) was like opening the door of the oven with your face too close. I know lots of folks who think differently.

Our pool is around 90 degrees right now - That's about the limit before the afternoon thunderstorms start cooling it off (which they have already started)

The bad thing about Europe, though, is that they DON'T take showers when they need to.

And many of the places do not have A/C either!

I should take a temp reading of the well water here in North Carolina, VERY cold even now in the summer.

In Florida its pretty warm, I am going to pick up a thermometer when I am out today.
