okay so i probably shouldn't complain, because we haven't even hit the summer heat yet, BUT I'M DYING HERE! i don't know what i'm going to do WHEN summer actually hits! every year i dislike the heat more and more! AND IT'S DRY HERE! i cannot even imagine what i would do if we had major humidity. i am NOT a summer girl that's for sure. i would much rather bundle up when it's too cold than try to strip layers, and STILL not be comfortable. do you like the summer weather? do you go to beaches, go swimming? (i hate swimming too, UGH i'm so boring and such a whiner i know eh?) i just can't believe it's 85 degrees outside, and almost 90 degress INSIDE...it gets old very quickly for me...oh it's gonna be a long summer my friends! LOL! glad i got THAT off my back...ha, just work with me!! ;-p thanks all!

LOL, I am not a summer person either. Which is funny as I was born and raised in South Florida, home of perpetual summer. I love living in Northern Illinois. Our summer is short and sweet. I too love the cold, you can always put more on, but there is only so much you cantake off in the heat. I am going to Cuba this summer to meet my in laws and wow I am gonna DIE !!!

Our summer is just finished.. It started raining monsoon from day before yesterday. So it is cool here.. and we now feel it a great relief from the heat of 38 degree Celsius of the last few weeks. But I find no reason or no right for us to blame the climatic conditions as long as we too have contributed a lot it. Thank you Frecklelip.

You're telling me! It made 80 here yesterday, and the hunidity here is oppressive, not to mention annoying. I have a guitar neck that I need to complete, and the humidity is tooo high -- the thing's not drying. Lacquer can't be srayed or used in any way when the humidity is over 60%. I need dry weather! Auggghhh!

oh that's cool a guitar neck? are you just refinishing it or do you make guitars? yes though, must be a PAIN in the you know when nothing like that dries...sorry!! sticky lacquer = no fun!

LOL where do you live?! It was sticky and warm here but not as hot as yestarday and I know a few days this week are supposed to be 90! But I was really complaining about the cold so i'm trying to be good! I must admit it's MUCH easier to get out of the house with the kids in the warm weather. Without having to put hats and coats and all of that on. Now I just grab them and go!! I have the AC on insdie, it's a nice and chilly 73, burrrr!!!

Where in the world are you at that 85 degrees is hot!?! I'm from the South and it's been nothing but cool whether (in the 70s) and RAIN (and super humidity) so far this spring! I wish it was warm out, I love warm weather but I hate how places always over-aircondition their buildings. Then again, I have hypothyroidism and anything under 80 degrees is considered "hoodie weather" in my book.

I'm on Vancouver Island and it is hot here also. The weather we are getting is the weather we get about mid summer here. The worst part is I am 7 months pregnant and my due date is mid August. The heat suck for me. Normally I am a summer person, I was born in July and love everything summer, but this year I am dying from this weather.

Yeah it is hot in my city too. That's what summers are hot and humid. But i prefer bright sunny day to cold cloudy winters. LOL. I just hope there are occasionall showers to get some respite. I take baths longer and couple of times too. And drink of water to keep myself cool. I prefer to stay inside and keep myself cool.

sometimes it's hard to cool off. i think that's why i like the cooler weather cuz it's easier for me to bundle up than strip down! haha! but that first sunshine in the spring DOES feel so good!

I love the summer although I am not a beach person at all . I just like the warmth and can't stand when I am cold . Up until last week we still had frost in the mornings and I was beginning to think that summer would never come this year as this is the latest it has ever taken for us to get some warm weather . It usually starts to get nice in May and this year it was so cold even though the temperature was reading that it was 26 degrees outside , one still needed a winter jacket because of the wind . It might have been nice if you could find a place with no wind but that wasn't possible . It just started to get nice but boy did it come fast when it did . There was no warming up period , one day there was frost all over the ground in the morning and the next morning it was so warm it was hard to breath with the humidy . I love it though and want it to last forever . I am sick of everyone in the house being sick all the time from the cold and hate getting up in the morning and turning on the heat so we don't freeze or just having to bundle up to go outside .

that's true, the cold brings on the sickies. and it's hard to feel better when you're cold. if you're sick and you can get into the sunshine, that helps! the sun feels so good!

85 and do you thinks thats hot? Be thankful that its 85 there cuz its 103 here and trust me its as hot as hell. I'm not much of a summer guy too but what else can we do,its nature's work and gotta accept it as it comes. Ice creams act as good busters to heat and so are lemonades.I take both of them often.Cotton clothes help alot too.

well you're in india right? heat perceptions are different everywhere for everyone i think. if it were 103 here, we'd be dying...we sometimes hit 100, but not always. so 80's is the beginning of our hot days here. 90's always suck big time, but IF it reaches 100, it's bad, and a lot of people stay in.

oh and ice cream IS a good buster of heat, and yum, lemonades!! cotton clothes DO help big time as well! thanks for the tips and for responding!! i appreciate it!!

I am from Illinois but am in England right now - that is where my man is from - yesterday here there was a cold wind blowing all day and it rained most of the day and I hated it. We have been looking at places in texas because my man said if we could move somplace where it is reasonablywarm year round he would consider moving with me to the USA permanently (Oh how happy that would make me) Michele - where abouts in Texas are you - we have looked a places on - line in the Brownsville, Harlingen and Port Arthur areas.

lol!! eew, cold rain IS horrible, snow isn't bad, cuz it doesn't always soak you like rain does. i would hate rainy winters. yet the warm rain stinks too cuz it's so humid! and how depressing to rain for a whole month like that? i love to walk too! helps me clear my brain!! UNLESS I'M SWEATING REAL BAD, then i just want to cool off, and walking doesn't help that!

I Hate the Heat and the Humitity is even worse it was like 80 here today but with the humitity at like 90% if felt like 105 even though I live on the Chesapeake Bay we get a breeze everyday but some days it does not help at all.uggg Have a Great Day/Night.
• United States
30 May 07
see? with the dry heat here, i probably SHOULDN'T be complaining...cuz i know when it's like you said, 80 but with the humidity so high, feels like 105, i would die. feeling sticky and wet all day, and the humidity takes my breath away cuz it's makes the air so thick for me to breathe. unlike our dry air, and high altitude! BUT when people come here, they can't breathe cuz the air is too thin. you get used to your surroundings i guess!

I live in India. So you can probably understand how hot it must be here. It did touch 91 degrees today. It usually is like this during the summer and the only way to beat the heat is to stay indoors. I too like the cold weather and it is quite pleasant where I stay. Fortunately the summer is almost over and it should start raining by June 7th. I'm waiting for the first rains for my yearly rain dance.

do they shut things down sometimes due to the heat there? i know some places will, cuz the heat can almost hurt you. UGH, our summer hasn't even begun. we have about another month and a half of spring. and the spring has been hot, scared for the summer months! do you like rain? i love the rain!!

You sound just like my husband LOL I love summer and the heat so it doesn't bother me at all, its the cold that gets to me. Ever since my husband returned from overseas he has had the airconditioning on ALL day and I don't like it and find myself outside on the porch/patio just trying to warm up. I love going to the beach just to hang out even if I don't end up going for a swim. Sun Sun I Love the Sun :):)

sometimes too much air conditioning is HORRIBLE i agree. i love feeling the warm sunshine, for short periods of time!! we really have no beaches so that's probably why i'm not into beaches and swimming, but i visited florida one summer, and just didn't like it really! BUT it's probably cuz i don't ever go!! i don't know it!!

nope! hate summer clothes, maybe if i were as thin as i was back in college! LOL! there are tons of cute clothes but when you're a lil heavier, it's not fun! in the winter i can layer and such, and i'm good at hiding my weight, but you can't do that in the summers!!
