I’m a Canadian and as such I hold it dear to me that it’s my constitutional right to bitch about things other people would love to have. Like temperatures under 100F. ---

Ah… Humidity. What do you all call bad? I’ve been places where they thought 50% was bad. I’ve had friends come to Mississippi and gag, asking “How do you breathe this stuff?” Usually with a straw, why? 😃 ---

**Saint** , coming from Hawaii I have the same responses. The worst coming from a close friend lady friend of mine who has a _mane_ of hair. In Cali’s nice low usually-in-the-teens humidity, it behaved fine. In Hawaii’s 60-90% it frizzed up something _fierce_. Today, in LA, CA, btw, things were in the mid-70s low 80s, I believe. ---

Okay, so it hasn’t been hot enough to melt Canadians. It has, however, been hot enough to melt Newfoundlanders. At least today we finally got the rain. All day there’s been a huge, glorious thunderstorm! Unfortunately, my rabbits don’t like this weather much better than they liked the heat. They’re shivering on the floor, preparing themselves for Ragnarok. I guess those ears must pick up the sound of thunder from quite a distance off… **Astroboy** , you never noticed before now that I was in Korea too? Remember that thread you started about **Astrogirl** ’s mother possibly finding out that she was dating you, and I responded by telling you about the time **SES** and I went through sort of the same thing? I suddenly feel so forgetable… ☹ Anyhow, If I’m ever in Seoul I’ll take you up on your offer. If either of you ever make it down to the Ulsan/Kyoungju area, drop me a line and I’ll take you out for dakkalbi. ---

Heat, driving rain & humidity marked Middle Tennessee’s Glorious 4th. **lots of humidity.** Help. ---

Sack! Temps in the 80s and it’s supposed to rain for the next couple of days! It makes me really want to go to work so I can be in the air conditioning. I have to sleep with the window fan on to cool my torso and another fan on to cool my feet and legs. A nasty side-effect is that the window fan causes my nose to run and I feel as if I’m drowning in my own fluids as the post nasal drip carries the mucus to my lungs. TMI? Maybe. But it illustrates why I hate living in hot climates. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Whammo \* > \*\*Past couple of days or so the news has reported, for my area of vegas, 120, so quitcher bitchin. 😃 \*\* Yeah, but you got a bazillion mega-air-conditioned casinos that give out alcoholic beverages to those who come in to partake of the fun and games. Having lived on both coasts I can honestly say the east is worse. Humidity sucks. It’s Africa hot here and your sweat doesn’t cool you down and it doesn’t evaporate. It’s like taking a shower in stinky water. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-hot/71273.md?page=1)
