4th day on row of triple diget heat here in Eastern Washington, and man, am I a big baby. 18+ years of living in the Puget Sound area, where they high temperature for a YEAR could be 85 degrees has not prepared me for this.
It also hasn't prepared me for a hot day with wind.
I always kind of liked a little breeze on a warm day...it helps with the evaporative cooling, and makes you feel a little cooler.
Here though, with the thermometer standing at 102, and a fairly stiff 15mph breeze coming out of the desert, things were different...the wind made things WORSE.
The best way I can explain it is to try sitting on your couch, while someone holds a running blow-dryer about 1 foot away from your face...ick.
Dude. I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteHere in central TX we had a storm front come through that lowered out temps to the high 90's and put the humidity around 75%.
But Thurs. we'll be in the 100+ and still have that humidity from the rain.
