1. Y'all have humidity there too, don't ya?

I would hug you but I know you are too hot for that.

2. Yes, humid and hot and miserable.

The grass is burned up, the plants are nearly dead, water restrictions all around. Global warming sucks.

My SO said, "It's Al Gore hot."

8. It's a dry humidity

3. we had like 60 days of that last summer, though not quite as humid

since we also weren't getting any rain either. The day night temp differential was essentially nil.

I feel for ya, not cooling down at night is just awful, heck even the desert gets cooler at night.

5. You could not pay me to move down south.

I've been in Florida on Christmas, and it was still 90 degrees and humid at midnight. There's no way in hell I'd want to live with that kind of weather.

7. yep

I got up at 2:00 a.m. to get some cleaning done, and it was a balmy 80 degrees. Of course were I in the deep south it would be hell no matter what time of day. At least here it is semi-bearable for a few hours in the middle of the night. I am so over this though, I am ready for rain...just one brief thunderstorm would make a difference here. I have a quater barrell of rain water left and that won't last long. It seems to be affecting me worse this year than it ever has...I lived in hotter places but this year it is really kicking my behind.

9. The southwestern corner of NM is heaven in the summer.

You have my deepest sympathies - I know exactly what you're going through. I spent 55 years in heat and humidity (East Texas, Dallas, NOLA, D.C., Atlanta), many of those years without air conditioning, even did without it in NOLA. (Being young helped.) Used to dread summer, now look forward to it.

This summer we've had just 11 days with temps above 90, all of them in the two weeks before the Monsoon started on July 4 and all of them dry enough that in the shade a breeze would keep you cool. Since July 3 the high has mostly been in the 70s or low 80s, has hit 80 only once in August. We're even finding the nights too cool for a light blanket. (We're at 6675 feet, which helps.)

Living at The Back of Beyond has it's disadvantages - such as shopping at Walmart because the nearest Target or Dillard's is 240 miles away (round trip) - but it isn't so bad in the summer.
