I hate summer.

I'm hot & miserable. She's hot, sore, and miserable (shoulder arthroscopy Wednesday - small rotator cuff tear and needed the anterior upper bicep tendon re-anchored and a tear oversewn.) We have no aircon.

The only good thing about summer is the improvement in scenery! Given a choice tho, I'd rather be back at McMurdo (best duty station evar! Anything over sixty is "too damned hot" to me...)

I can't keep ice around, and I'm dumping it in the bin and refilling the trays as fast as it freezes.

I'm running out of cold things to drink - I keep my water balance up, but I can't stand California water, so I just grab a half-litre and down it about every hour.

The heat makes my headache worse. The barometer is dropping, making my headache worse. Humidity is going up, making her asthma worse. Paucity of air (due to temperature going up and barometer going down) isn't helping either.

I hate summer. That is all.

87% humidity in my apartment last night. I felt like I was swimming in soup. Fortunately it was only 75 degrees, so if I stopped moving AT ALL I could do without AC and the associated smoking hole in my wallet.
 
Current weather conditions: temp; 84.4*F, humidity; 80%, preassure; 29.95", heat index 95*F, current time 9:17am and today is relatively cool.

I deliver pizzas in a car that has no a/c and no window tinting, and for the past 2 or 3 months it has been 110*F in the car with the windows down. Just remember it could always be worse
 
Dropped to 66 degrees here, only because we purchased a cheap pool. Has been near/at/above 100 degrees most days lately. Storm coming in with rain.
I am LOVING the high temps and low humidity. Last winter in NJ, we did not see our yard for ~4 months. This weather is great!
 
High 90s/low 100s here. Fortunately, I'm relatively insensitive to temp. Not much for humidity, which I don't have to deal with(15%? Hah!). Came here from the midwest, so I know what 85deg. and 90% humidity is like. 'Hope it lets up for you.

Grew up in northern IN - and we got the worst of the bad summer and winter (summers were typically 90/90. Winters? There are at least a half-dozen times during my childhood where six feet of snow hit the ground overnight.)

Basic in Texas was just so much fun - fall out at 0500 to 30*, 90* by midday. Welcome to Texas in late winter and spring.

Reported to Keesler at 105/102 (yep - too hot to rain. Ugh.)

I have never cared for hot weather, but I've gotten less able to adapt over the last few years. I'd be happy if I could take my office here at home, insulate it, and chill it down to 45-50*F or thereabouts...

Oddly, humidity is less of a problem for me than heat to begin with!
 
90+ outside, a/c set to 70, couple of fans circulating the air, me and the dogs laying on the couch and contemplating how wonderful life is!
