    Im in east TN. It’s always humid here but this year seems worse. And we’ve had lots of heat warnings. Hottest year on record, just like last year, and the year before that. etc…

    Not here in Sweden. We have warnings and drought in several areas of the country because there has been less sky water than usual this entire year.

    I’ve been keeping track of the heat index because I work in a factory with no AC, with the high humidity we’ve had 7 days already over 100°F… 109°F being the highest. Consistently over 90°F though pretty much every day…

    Thankfully this week the humidity finally dropped a bit!

    Both heat and humidity. It feels like I went directly from heat to air conditioning with less than a week in between. Today is finally decent weather to turn it off and open windows but it might be only the second time this summer.

    It doesn’t seem all that many years ago that I objected to air conditioning on the grounds that it is expensive and you only need it a couple weeks of the year. But now it’s hard to see living without it where I am

      It was 81 degrees (27 for the rest of the world) out this morning on my drive to work before 0700. I didn’t have air conditioning growing up so maybe my memories are skewed but it seems way hotter now than it was in the 80s/90s (Captain Planet warned me about this).

        And a superhero would never mislead you !

        (At least that was true before The Boys showed a much more negative picture of superheroes)

    Yes. It’s called “climate change”.

    Sorry to be blunt, but it’s only going to get worse.

    For Toronto and GTA I feel it has been opposite for us. We had 5-6 super humid days. But this summer, there’s been less humidity even though it’s been really super hot. Weird times.

    Idk if op is in the us or not but there was a hurricane in Texas recently and apparently hurricanes will suck water from clear across the country so this summer was uncharacteristically hot, idk about the humidity, maybe the hurricane is pushing water back this way too.

    No, about normal summer assuming this is the last week of hot weather (forecast says so).
