So our humidity has been lower this week. Right now it's only 60% with temp at 80.

I know it won't last - but wow - so much nicer for working outside!

60% is crazy high, we have that today and I'm dying!
Luckily the temp isn't very high so I'll prolly survive.

I get the gator-aid in the US, but do they have Croc-aid in Australia?

Anchorage -25F back in the early 90's. Very dry. You could not really sense cold until your skin became numb.

Cleveland a couple years later, -15 with some humidity and you were shivering in seconds.

Not anymore.......first cold weather of the cool season last night.

Into the 40's!

Turned on the heat for the first time since last winter.

I love this time of the year!

I can always tell a yankee type in the south, they complain and ***** when its hot outside. Thats why there is the north, If y'all cant take the heat, move on back up north, we wont complain. LOL!

[Racerbvd]

Yep, had to winterize for my ride this evening.

We broke 50* today. Not sure if that's a record or not.
Snow showers for tonight and tomorrow.

Mrs. Beard would bitterly complain incessantly at those settings.

At the beginning of summer a couple of years ago, the pastor at our church said, "this is the time of year when some folks start heading north for the summer. They call them 'snowbirds'...I call them cowards!"

Reminds me of the college football players using the term "opt out" right now.

They aren't "opting out".....they are just plain "quitting".

Apologies for the slight thread drift.....

11pm and still 80 degrees out!

Humidity at 82 freaking %!

We had a couple nice rain days last week, which really helped, but not much since.

C'mon rainy season!!!

Getting ready to HTR on the Duc. Was supposed to head out yesterday but it was too hot.

[cabmandone]

It was 108 at my house in Tacoma yesterday. 3rd day in a row over 100. Damn hot for the PNW.

Somehow Oklahoma City has the Seattle weather. We have had several days of rain, and it is 71 degrees now. The highs are high 70s to low 80s all week.
