Boy is it dry out there

A view of east El Paso from Loop 375 on the Mount Franklin, the lower end I took this in 2013

Oh yes, very dry. Right now at 10:45am it's 87(f) with 7% humidity. Can you tell by my photo just how dry it gets? I took this shot in 2013. By thursday the weather service predicts we'll be in the triple digits for at least a week or more. The dry heat of this region is tolerable but it does have one downfall that drives me nuts, my sinuses are completely dried out which is not pleasant. Sooo, hows it going in your part of our planet?

It never seems to rain where it's needed. We had rain all weekend and it's finally sunny here today and a bit warm.

I wish there were a way you could send some of that rain here.

In this region it has to do with the wind currents in the upper parts of the atmosphere @marlina it's extremely hard to predict what the wind currents will do.

Better dry heat than the sauna of humid heat.

I have to agree with you but still, a dry sinus gets really itchy so most of us around here use those saline sprays to relieve the itchiness.

I don't have allergies like that but I have to agree that high humidity is totally yucky @JohnRoberts

It's been really warm and dry here also. We have had high 90's this week and thurs and fri were going to get some rain finally. I hope then it will cool down a bit as these temps are a bit too much for me.

@rebelann yeah I'm glad it's going to rain here we could use some. I'm not going to miss the heat and going to be 70's this weekend that's even better.

It'll be in the triple digits here for the next week at least but luckily the humidity won't go over 10% and boy do I wish it would rain just a little.

The NOAA predicts it might rain on Saturday nite but around here everyone knows it probably won't @marlina hopefully they are right this time. I hope they get all of it mowed before it rains again.

I get sinus headaches m guessing when the barometric pressure changes. When your sinus dry out do you get headaches from that too? I figured it would be better in dry heat course going in and out of air conditioning isn't helpful either maybe that's what's bothers your sinuses and not the dryness after all. I'd have to research that as I really don't know. I know my nose was worse when inside rather than outside when in Arizona in May.

At 5% humidity both in and out side it's definitely the dryness of the sinus that causes it to itch.

I like it hot but I don't like humid. My only complaint is that there hasn't been any rain in the past few weeks and there probably won't be any until the end of June.

This morning when I checked the weather prior to going to the Y, it was 97% humidity and 67. It's supposed to get up to 84. Currently it's 75.

The heat here is mostly dry @just4him usually it's considered lucky here if we get more than 15% on the hottest days. Right now at 10:45am it's 90(f) with 5% humidity ..... the static does drive me crazy thought.

You want rain, I've got a yard full and humidity is around 90%. So hot and sticky it's hard to breathe.

Humidity is there 7%, so thats something relief. Humidity is very tough to resist with heat. Here temperature hovering around 40 degree with humidity 65-70%.. Again power cut is also here.

Your are correct, I could not stand this heat if the humidity were higher. I hope they fix the power problems you are having.
