NYC hot is worse. Add in the pollution, haze, stench, horn honking, subway stations, traffic, tourists,bike messengers & a gazzillon people, you’ve got a recipe for pure misery unmatched anywhere on this planet. [emoji16]

Yep. :oops:

It even got unbearably hot and humid when I was a teenager in Nebraska...but you always knew it wouldn't last.

It seems 'summer' started here back at the beginning of May and the thought of probably 2+ more months of it...is a bit depressing. :oops:

On the flip side, putting up Christmas decorations while wearing shorts, instead of running inside every 15 minutes to thaw frozen fingers...will have me smiling. :D

Second day in a row 90 degrees here in the Adirondacks. Last time we had a 90 degree day was 2013. This is unbearable for me. Bless those of you that worship this.

Chatbrat is correct DaddyMac. I worked Local 25 IBEW, site temps were recorded both summer & winter. Thermometers were located throughout the job. Remember, living well is the best revenge.

It is very warm and can be quite muggy in June, July, August, and September. It is very nice the rest of the year. Does that work?

Just looking over the responses to this thread, it doesn't look like many villagers mind the heat. In fact, I would say their comments reflect mostly a happiness to be in TV no matter the time of year. Not sure what you see as dishonest?

If the heat bothers you so much, maybe some reverse psychology would work here. While they laugh at you in January, you can just laugh at them in July......that way everybody's happy!

A few years back, my husband and I purposefully spent the full month of August in TV. We wanted to see what it was like and to determine for ourselves whether it would be tolerable or not. Maybe we hit a good year, I don't know, but we found it tolerable and many days even comfortable. If we were outside during the middle of the day, we either stayed in shaded areas or under patios/lanais with fans. The evenings cooled down some and there always seemed to be a breeze. It felt to me as if between the sandy soil and very hot sun, it actually burned off the humidity somewhat. Does that make sense? Not so here in the mid-Atlantic at all. When it's hot it is stifling and although the temp may go down in the evening it still feels like a steam bath when you walk outside. And it can last for days, sometimes weeks at a time. The humidity and resultant heat index is so high it truly is intolerable. I attribute it here to the very damp soil (a lot of clay) and the overwhelming number of deciduous trees, not to mention the congestion and other things already mentioned by others on this thread. Unless we have a very dry summer up here, it always feels somewhat damp. Mix that with heat and that's what I call uncomfortable.

And let's not even discuss utility bills. The size of my house up north is not triple the size of my house in Florida but the utility bills sure are! Not happy about that at all!

As temperature increases, relative humidity decreases.

[tuccillo]

Humidity (relative) is a fairly useless quantity. Dewpoint is a much more useful quantity. It is a measure of the actual amount of moisture in the air. If the dewpoint is in the mid to upper 70s it is pretty miserable. Dewpoints in the mid 50's is pretty nice. You can have high relative humidities with low dewpoints and it feels pretty nice. Once the temperature climbs into the mid 90's you will hardly ever see relative humidities over 50% but I can assure you that 95 with a relative humidity of 50% is pretty nasty weather.

A little tidbit of information for golfers. Golf balls fly further (marginally) when the air is muggier than when it is dry, assuming the same temperature.

Who cares about index, etc. etc.? When it is hot, it is hot. When it is humid, it is humid. When it is hot and humid, it is hot and humid, and analyzing it all won't help make it cooler.

It is not just the heat but the deceit of those who claim it is not hot during the summers. I lived in FL 3 times so I know they are lying. I feel sorry for those who allow themselves to be duped into thinking Florida (not just the Villages) is a paradise where everyone is happy fishing, golfing, running, being outdoors all day every single day of the year.

However, I do notice that some of you here on this thread and a few other threads are honest by admitting it is hot. I appreciate this because it then means that I can trust those people.

Thanks, tucillo, I know you know of what you speak. In saying that I appreciate the explanation. Now I understand why on the Philly news today they were talking so much about the dew point. It was 75 here today and they were stressing that is why it felt so terrible outside. The temps were in the mid 90's with a heat index of 104. At least it's making me feel better about visiting TV in July! We had such an unusually beautiful spring here temperature-wise that I was feeling hesitant to leave, but I think this was just the push I needed. :smiley:

Thank you for the information on dewpoint. Chicago has had a pretty hot and humid summer so far, and the weather forecasters on the Chicago television stations usually focus on the dewpoint to illustrate how muggy or comfortable the weather will be in the summer.

Here in KC we have had 100 + heat index regularly since early May. Yesterday was 100+, but starting today we are supposed to have highs in the high 70s and low 80s for the next 10 days. Happy to see fall temps come. We spent August in TV and were not surprised or turned off by the heat and humidity (no worse than Mo.) but were rather amazed by the daily afternoon showers. I love fall in Missouri, but would likely also love fall in Florida since I loved fall in North Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas, and Iowa. Apparently I love fall, much like the other three seasons!

Florida has surpassed NY as the third most populace state because of the heat, errrrrrr................snow. :D

I will admit it gets hot during the summer months in FL but it's a lot better than dealing with the snow. Just remember, it's only temporary for NY'ers.

I remember a couple of times when temps in NY reached 100 with 100% humidity. It was unbearable before A/C's came into existence.Thank goodness for A/C.

I no longer say four letter words, like snow and work! :smiley:

[tuccillo]

Just for the record, 100F with 100% humidity (relative) doesn't actually ever happen. Typically the relative humidity will be about 50% (maximum) on a very humid day with 100F temperature. I understand that you are trying to say it was hot and humid. This is why relative humidity is not a very useful metric. Dewpoint is a better metric is look at for a sense of mugginess.

You are right about the unbearable humidity up here in the mid-atlantic. A co-worker of mine has never had central air but has decided this year to have it installed. Like he said, he can stand the heat, it's the humidity up here that has gotten to him.

I spent 2 weeks this past July in TV and a few years back the whole month of August. I thought the weather was quite comfortable compared to the oppressive humidity up this way that can go on for weeks on end. It is in the low 70's up here today. My A/C has been set on 78 all day and it keeps going on and off. I would love to open my windows since it's technically cooler outside but I know letting in all that humidity will make me say "UGH" later.

Today:
A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 94. Heat index values as high as 103. Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph in the afternoon.

Does this ever end ? In the Adirondacks we would put the lifeguards chair on the frozen lake and have a pool (like the superbowl) at the local establishment for who came closest to the day the chair sunk in the lake. That was our first day of spring.
