Poll question: Is it Humid where you live?
I was in Louisiana in June once...damn. It was like being on another planet. No such thing as leaving your window open for a nice breeze. No joggers. My glasses fogged up. Crazy. Then I went back to CA where everything is "normal".

9. You stole my line
I'M the one who coined "Louisiana = Venus". Such a strange place. Fun, but strange. I'm telling you...literally not one jogger.

5. It had been warm and dry in Iowa
but now it's hot and humid. Good weather to brew some bad storms I'm afraid.

13. Yes, when a hurricane knocks out your power,
you really don't have a choice unless you pony up big bucks for a generator. One of my colleagues decided to get a natural gas powered generator that automatically kicks in if the power goes out after the hurricanes last year. Me, I just tend to bug out of the area and stay at a hotel. :-)

16. In the winter, no problem
In the summer, you would not want to try it unless you like dripping with sweat while sitting on your couch watching TV.

12. I moved here (FL) from CA
a while back. Yes I've acclimated.
I actually breathe better with the humidity, but it did take a while.

Living on the beach helps, I suppose. The sea breeze keeps everything much cooler than even an hour inland.

18. I'm in South Carolina.............
So, humidity is pretty brutal this time of year. You begin sweating about sixty seconds after you go outside.

30. Stay inside
If you must go outside, hydrate, sunscreen, and clothes that breathe.

20. I live in Houston. You better believe it's humid.
But you actually get acclimated to an extent. I still go out for my 3 mile walks, even in the afternoon, I just drink plenty of water.

23. I agree with you, I have a dog to walk everyday so I now have gotten
used to the weather. Water, water, and more water before, during and after.

I grew up withour AC, houses used to be built for that.

22. Sometimes..
Last week I experienced the "fogged up" glasses for the first time. I'm originally from Southern CA, but I'm in Long Island right now. Some summer days can be pretty humid, though its been nice out this week...it's also been relatively cool out.
