Living part time in NY, Staten Island to be exact, the humidity and dampness are a major factor in my husbands arthritis problems. He feels much better here in TV, where the humidity is considerably less than where we live in NY. I, on the other hand have SLE.*....and avoid the sun as much as possible. I try to go out either early in the morning or after 4 p.m., times when it is cooler. I use sunscreen at all times and UV protective clothing.

*considered mild at this time, but also have other connective tissue issues
