OT: Ahhhh.... sweet air and my own comp backFollow
It's pretty misreable up here in Wisconsin the last two days. Yesterday we hit a high of 97F and today its 98F with the humidity and all they say the "feels like" temp is over 100. It is Wisconsin though so in the next two days it's going to drop into the mid 50's.
And on the other side of the planet, summer seems to have arrived in Beijing. I lost the annual struggle to resist turning on the a/c yesterday when we hit 38 C and 78% humidity. Good -- the a/c in the new apartment works. Bad -- it was produced by Mitsubishi and has nearly incomprehensible controls. The apartment is now cooler than and Easy Bake oven, but I suspect I'm not using the most energy efficient mode. Bonus -- my computer's fans have stopped whining like the 0-boards and I almost got a solid night's sleep (cool good, extra noise not quite so good).

The town of Southwest, PA had 83° weather today.
That's it?
Born and raised here in Texas. Try this on for size. And that's nothing. Wait until the summer really gets going.
Let's just say that a lack of air conditioning here in Texas is pretty much a cardinal sin.

As a SW PA person myself I can tell you the humidity makes it horrible here.
I've been in the 100 degree+ Texas dry heat before an I prefer that to the 83 + high humidity we got today.
It just rained yesterday as of this posting here, and the rest of the day was miserable, and it is freaking 8AM and I was covered with sweat when I woke up, and now I'm sitting here with the AC on full blast so that I don't get all sweaty before going to work.
Blarrrgh.
When you get the high humidity, your body's natural cooling function just doesn't work anywhere near as well...
Finally a front moved through here and it went from mid 90's yesterday to mid 50's today!
Humidity is bad, and parts of Texas don't have it, but where I live (North-eastern Texas), we're close enough to the Gulf of Mexico to get plenty of humidity. And you're right about sweating not working as well - I've experienced that, believe me.
Mostly in West Texas, out where it starts looking more and more like a desert, it's a dry heat. But anywhere past the panhandle and things start to get bad.
At least Dallas doesn't have it near as bad as Houston. That place sucks.

I just moved from Ohio down to Alabama this past week. I feel as though I went from Satan's armpit to Satan's crotch! Both are humid, one's just nastier. The good thing is, I went from a single window A/C and fans to central air. I like to set it to "meat locker".
