Weather.com says it is 79 degrees (feels like 84) with 89% humidity. I dunno, feels a lot worse than that. This is in central PA.

I went out into the factory where there is no AC at all. I had to replace a monitor in one of the offices (which luckily does have AC). When I left, my glasses fogged up. That has never happened before despite the temperature actually being higher. I don't know that it has been this humid though.

It's disgusting and it's only 9:00 AM.

80 degrees F here with 89% humidity. Supposed to be in the mid-90s with a heat index of 105. Then again I'm in Texas right now. ;)

Back to Upper Michigan today though, bah.

Near record high temperatures. Heat index near 115F. High 98F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

88F Feels Like 105F <- now

To acknowledge the heat today, I think you should do a special version of "Will I Fit?" and try to fit into an ice chest.

Yes, it is really hot out, and I had to walk to work today because the train line I take to work is out of commission this morning (I live in Manhattan) :thumbsdown:

94% Humidity and a high of 91 today. Highs of 94 this weekend.. Wheee! It's days like today I'm glad I have an (AC'd) office job, and a pool at home. :D

Edit - this is in SE Iowa

For the umpteenth time, the dew point temperature is a better measurement of the amount of moisture in the air than the relative humidity (which can be misleading in many circumstances).

OK, here's what weather.com says for where I am (Durham/RTP, NC)
91°F
Feels Like 106°F
Humidity: 66%
Pressure: 29.90 in.
Dew Point: 78°F

91 and feels like 106. Lovely. I can't wait until lunchtime when it's really 101 out. Feels like 115?

I work in RTP too (off TW Alexander). A/C is working at the moment but on the fritz. Might have to close the whole building for 3 days to replace the entire system.

What a perfect username to be posting in this thread. My glasses also fogged up last night when I got out of the car. Humidity was pretty close to 100% (it had been raining, on and off, and a very warm rain at that.)
