Weather WTF

[PDH]

At 7200 feet we don't get much humidity plus the air is thinner and it always holds less water.  Every night in summer, even if it is 90 during the mid day it cools down into the 50s.

The price?  You have to drink more fluids.

i don't think there are any recorded cases of fatally dry skin.

It can hurt like a SOB when your hands and lips get all dry and cracked though.

Fairly straight forward and simple measures can be used to avoid that problem.  There is no way to avoid high humidity other than staying inside in an airconditioned room.

And what's wrong with doing that?

Another vote for high humidity is a bitch, if only because it interferes with the body's natural cooling mechanisms.

I wonder what 0% humidity would feel like, or if it's even possible for it to get that low.  OTOH 100% humidity is basically fog, right?

Antartica is the dryest of dry dry dry dry deserts. Just as in the hot ones, you have to hydrate constantly even if you don't sweat in that cold.
And in Kuwait, if the wind came from inland 125 was livable, when it came from the gulf, 125 made you want to hang yourself to escape it.

Talking about fog, humidity and such, when they talk about dew points, that is where I get confused.

I'm thinking humidity may be getting a bad rap. Sure, it sucks being covered in sweat, but constant dehydration's no walk in the park either.

I dunno;  hot is hot, but I'd rather deal with Phoenix at 100 degrees and no humidity than Doomidity here at 85 degrees and 60% humidity.

I regularly say about I can do Palm Springs at 110 much better than NYC in the 80s with 70% humidity.

Ugh, I am not looking forward to that.

Well, make sure the noose is high and long enough to snap your neck quickly, you don't want to kick and flail for an hour.

Well, I am Air Force...so it would just the suffering of moving between A/C-equipped buildings....

...which has been bad enough here of late (though our A/C was out on Monday, that sucked).

You printed out your emails and are hand delivering them due to the Internet being down.

June 26th.  I got the heat on... Yesterday, I needed a/c in the office.  Today, I had to crank up the heat...  The weather is all fucked up.
