I have always lived in the pacific NW primarily because of the moderate weather. This summer is brutal though. Next to no rain, every day above 80, many above 90. Now they're calling for over 100 for multiple days. It's not even August yet!!! That just DOES NOT HAPPEN here, at least, not in my 30+ years.

I can't see any way around it, I think it's just time for me to move to alaska. 8-(

Yeah I'm sitting pretty at work, air-conditioned, in Beaverton. It's smokin' outside though.

Still not as bad as it was last year though.

Nah, it's not too bad out there.

It's not even hot out if there are only two, measly digits in the temperature.

You guys who are complaing are a bunch of pvssies. :p

Edit: I actually sat outside and read a book on my lunch hour.

I LOVE between 40 and 60. I can be happy from 30-70. I can live from about 15-78. Lower than 15 or higher than 78 just isn't fun. But the thing is, when it's below 15 I can wear better or different clothing and compensate. Above 78, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY to survive outside. None. Nothing cools you down. Humidity doesn't matter, shade, breeze...none of it helps. I've lived in california, florida, virginia, mississippi, new jersey, etc, so don't say you get used to it, because I don't. I just can NOT take any temps 80ish or above.

Were not used to this heat and humidity though in the NW. 98 right now.

Even in Vancouver/Portland we usually have some wind off of the river that cools us down. Just not happening this year.

At least the beach is only 1 1/2hr away. :)

The news this morning said it hit 115 in the valley yesterday, it wasn't so bad.
 

Currently 68 and not a cloud in the sky here in Southeast Michigan.

It was 93 yesterday though. :)

I wonder how you'd react to winters when the highs are sometimes in the single digits. Some of us are cold weather people and some of us are warm weather people. Personally, I would prefer a temperature of 15-20 degrees to a temperature of 90 degrees any day. Heck, I'd prefer 15 degrees to 85 here when it gets humid (like 95%, which is more often than I'd like).

No, 100% humidity is not raining. It often rains when the humidity is well below 100%.

100% humidity means that the air is holding as much moisture as it can at that given temperature.

A couple of links:

http://ingrid.ldeo.columbia.edu/dochelp/QA/Basic/humidity.html

http://www.komotv.com/news/printstory.asp?id=26167

From the first link: "A relative humidty measurement of 100% does not necessarily mean that rain is falling. It just means that the air is holding as much moisture as it can at a given temperature, in the form of water vapor, which is an invisible gas. However, near 100% relative humidity, you can get water vapor condensing into very small water droplets to form clouds, including fog near the surface."
