kickahaI just checked the weather in Seattle, after seeing a lot of posts about it.
91deg. Ouch. That's pretty damned hot for up there.
Then I see the humidity.
**27%**?? You're complaining about **27%**?? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh dear god, you poor dears, you have no idea. At that nice dry humidity, sweating still works. Evaporation is efficient. You can cool yourself with a wet towel and a fan quite nicely. Seriously... years of living on the dry hot side of the Cascades, and in Salt Lake City make this a no-brainer: mist yourself with some water in front of a fan, and it will feel 10-15deg cooler almost instantly. Soak a towel in water and toss it on your back while you walk around - same effect. When the humidity is that low, water + moving air = cool. Temperature is easily overcome if the air is dry. When it's humid... not so much.
When the temp is in the 90s, and so is the humidity, *then* you're in deep doodoo. (Actually, that's pretty much what it feels like.... walking through warm poo.) cf: NC, NY.
Go sweat yourself silly, and enjoy the evaporation for those of us who cannot. :P :)

Date: 2007-07-13 01:47 am (UTC)Adults don't actually have to use smileys to indicate sarcasm, you know. Ambrose Bierce managed somehow. I mean, I referenced Dilbert and Crocodile Dundee, and I'm being too serious? Come on.
On a serious note, what about 90 degree weather is superior to 80 degree weather? In my book, nothing--so it's only heaven if your standards are low (although, I've often said the secret to happiness is low standards.)
(Don't you just *hate* testers? Oh, and don't even get me started about "uniqueness"...)

Date: 2007-07-13 01:52 am (UTC)Nothing about 90deg is better than 80deg, all else being equal... but I'll take a dry 90 over a humid 80 *ANY* day. It's easier to deal with.
And yes, testers are obnoxious. :D
