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!

Here, here! I couldn't agree more.

For the next week or so where I am now we will have overnight lows in the mid 60s and highs in the low to mid 70s. No complaints.

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

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!

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.

I have to admit that I use one four letter word, "COLD".

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.
