Is it a dry heat.... please tell me it’s a dry heat. Lol


Our heat and humidity is very similar to budman tx’s with a rain shower every day or so the humidity never goes down. But not enough clouds to cool any thing off. Just f’ing steamy all day every day.

It usually ends sometime in November when the ice cold wind season begins.

We typically don't go above 70% humidity, and if the north wind blows we can get down to single digits which sucks for fires.

In an average year I'd dare you to stand in front of me and say dry heat one more time. However this year has been an extremely pleasant summer! Feel free to repeat that as much as you wish.

We have a little microclimate here. The diurnal winds pull the cold air down off the mountains and make it colder here than 15 miles away by the river.

I'm using the PC60-Z multi-tester It's the bluetooth one that connects with your phone


They also make the PC60 which is the same but doesn't have the bluetooth connectivity for $60 cheaper.

Anything above 105 I try to hide in the house. The hottest combination I have felt was on Guam, 100 degrees plus almost matching humidity. My dad was visiting from Oregon, I thought he was going to melt. I've seen 125 in Saudi Arabia, but it was a dry heat...lol. Edit: The cartoons where the thermometers explode when it gets too hot are real.

Thank you!! It's confusing as there's several different models of this, ranging from under $80 to around $200...I thought I found a deal, but nope, just a lesser model...ugh!

welp I just unloaded 3 more seedlings......

this freaking humidity sucks.....

on a slightly better note looks like we have chance for rain coming.....killer....at least I won't here my grass go crunch anymore....

Spent a week at the encore beach club in las vegas in July, 104° was the lowest reading I saw when I was there. Those patio misters are the best invention ever.

LOL Exactly once you are over 114 it's just fucking hell. Luckily I've only had three really bad days this year! I'm very grateful and worried I'm saying no hitter in the ninth. Oh well y'all can blame me.

Cotton mouth. You hope your tongue just goes ahead and cracks and starts to bleed for moistness.
