The weather  I mean... Humidity in particular.   This year our humidity level has seemed higher than normal, we have used our AC  a lot more this year... but.. The last three days,  we have had, hardly any humidity, it's been lovely... and,  they say a cool and wet storm front is heading our way .. and afterwards the air will be much fresher.... yyeeyyy.   I hope so... I don't like the high humidity...   In Spain,  during July, August & September,  we have quite high humidity, and then it dissapears and we go back to nice hot, sunny days.. with no humidity...  Well.... I thought it was high... the weather thing on my phone,  says the humidity was 66 last saturday... which I thought was quite high... until,  I looked up some of the average humidity levels, in some states,  in the usa... In my defence..., I come from the uk, and it's  not very humid there... or,  so I thought...  so I looked up the  average levels for the uk... which I found surprising too ...,   according to several weather based web sites, it says the humidity level in the uk, averages between 60-70 .... nnooo wayyy... I don't  believe it....  If it's 66 here in spain ..., which is meltingly hot and damp, causing me to perspire profusely .... and leaves my  my clothes damp, within minutes ... and my hair, falls  flat as a pancake .. within a similar amount of time.. after spending 20 minutes  trying to make it look nice... then... no way does  the UK have any where near the same level of humidity... Actually that is a lie... I have learned not to waste my time,  'doing my hair' .. for that very reason... that, and the fact that from july through to september,  I wear a baseball cap every time I go outside.., even when I'm  swimming.   So anyway way ... I hope we do have a wet weekend, especially if it marks the end of the humidity... but I wouldn't wish that on everyone... but it has it uses...lol the post photos have nothing to do with humidity.. but they are my own photos.

Not a big fan of high humidity myself- although some people love it. Maybe the humidity in England also includes the dampness during rainy times. Love the flowers- the only one I can identify is the dahlia. Can you tell me the name of more?

Spain is warmer than the UK, so you feel the humidity in a total different way. I hated the humidity we had in Monte-Carlo, here is not too humid, but I feel the humidity more in summer than in winter. The heat wave is over, the temperature was 13º Celsius this morning, a bit too cold, now at 24º Ceslius is perfect for me.

Our humidity in northern California is mostly in the winter months so before that comes I plan to go south like the birds.

Our humidity today is quite low 47%, which is very nice. Usually August is the worst month for humidity in Wisconsin.

Sorry for your humidity. The part of the US that I live in is very dry and hot. Lucky if we get 12% humidity. I hope that fall comes soon for both of us.

It seems that the humidity in most places is what people have issues dealing with. Once our rainy season is over, we hope to see lower levels of humidity. .
