@ruouttaurmind And the Kraken. There was a Harryhausen exhibition at Science Museum Oklahoma last fall. I planned a road trip vacation around seeing it.
OK, the only “plan” was “go to see the exhibit and go other places, too”.
I want Spring. And Fall. Just give me 60-70˚ weather and I’ll be happy. Summer = 90˚ and 80+% humidity. Man the mid Atlantic can be frustrating some times
My summer air is just like my winter air. It contains the same amount of the important stuff - namely oxygen and hydrogen. It then also has argon and carbon dioxide, neon, helium, and methane. My understanding I’d need to go to Mars or somewhere like that to find different air. I would like to go to Mars on vacation. But not because the air is different.
@Kidsandliz@moondrake Oh Lord Yes! Got my car washed other day… next morning my burgandy car was yellow. Totally covered in the stuff. UGH. Left a backpack on the porch to air out and its covered in the stuff now. Double UGH.
If you think about it, summer is basically the weather getting sick, and having a fever. That’s why the air becomes so unsuitable for breathing, in the summer.
One of the reasons I moved from the Midwest-bordering-the-South to the Pacific Northwest was simply the humidity. It’s amusing to hear people here complain that it’s getting humid when I don’t even notice it.
On a related note: I experienced a lot of cramping while playing outdoor sports shortly after moving here. I soon realized I wasn’t taking enough water because I didn’t feel like I was sweating. Back in Missouri, my sweat would just stay on my skin or soak my clothes and be noticeable, whereas it actually evaporates here like it’s supposed to. One of those little differences.
I live in the area of Ohio that’s a former swamp. Northern Ohio does its best to imitate Satan’s armpit for the parts of the year that don’t require Eskimo-like clothing.
Chicagoland does sometimes have nice summers but more often (to this desert born and raised human) it is unpleasantly humid to downright dank. We’ve on occasion had several weeks of unremitting high 90s and 90+% humidity. I know that’s less than the southern swamp states (or Ohio’s armpit of Satan) put up with but its still nasty.
Beachy
@mfladd When can I come visit?
Like the surface of the sun.

@ruouttaurmind That’s cool. I think I took a picture of something like that once. Not quite the same magnification.

@craigthom Wow! You’ve got some great pix in there! I really dig the diamond ring effect one. And Bubo! Where were all the Clash figures taken?

@craigthom Looks like it was a fantastic exhibit! I’m jelly.
EDIT: looks like I can still catch it in Odense, Denmark in September.

It’s the midwest, so, fuckin’ roll the dice. You know, the weather dice. I know you got a pair stop lying!
The Christmas candy yesterday was the clue the correct answer.
SoCal, so warm to hot, but usually dry.
@narfcake smokey and ashy at times.
@Ignorant True.
I live a mile off the Pacific. The air is fantastic. Which is why I moved here.
/giphy lucky bastard
@haydesigner that cat doesn’t seem very lucky at all.
@haydesigner hahaha. Love it!
@haydesigner Me too, though I think I live slightly less than a mile. But I live here for the weather. It can’t be beat.
@haydesigner @jerk_nugget No breakage = no 7 years bad luck. That’s as much luck as a non-black cat gets.

Safely outside, where it can’t hurt me.

@Kidsandliz Our summer air also contains a lot of gnats and skeeters.
@Kidsandliz That’s odd, my air also contains nitrogen
@rtjhnstn I bet the plants stole all of mine. Lots of plants because there is lots of nitrogen LOL
@lseeber Yeah and noseeums…
@Kidsandliz @lseeber Yeah, and the least imaginatively named bug, flies.
@Kidsandliz yup. Wonder how many we inhale.
@Kidsandliz @moondrake haha… true. Wonder why those little critters ended up with the descriptive name and not something else.
@lseeber @moondrake And of course there is other particulate matter like yellow pine tree pollen (the current scourge here).
@Kidsandliz @moondrake Oh Lord Yes! Got my car washed other day… next morning my burgandy car was yellow. Totally covered in the stuff. UGH. Left a backpack on the porch to air out and its covered in the stuff now. Double UGH.
It’s s’posed ta freeze agin tomorry.
Well, shit!
All of the above. Although it never gets Deep South dripping humid hot.
Depends on the day/hour. We are surrounded by Great Lakes.
@RedOak Let me guess. There is a great lake named after your state.
@rtjhnstn yep. The only state honored with a Great Lake name.
(Unless you consider the province to our east a “state”)

Absolutely brutal. It’s the 7th layer of hell.
Sultry.
disgusting. a time where you never dry off after showering no matter how hard you try.
Hot, humid, and full of mold spores.
Like a breath of hot shower fart.
Why isn’t mild on here? Where I live the summers are in the 80’s (occasionally 90’s) and not humid.
@kittykat9180 Heaven?
I live where it’s a moderate 85-90º…in February.
Rhode Island is unpredictable

Quite warmish (up to 100F) to very hot.

We don’t usually hit AZ temps but my area has often kinda med-high summer humidity.
Some areas do rival S AZ for a melted or cooked life tho.
My Dad was stationed there for a short time during WWII. He said he noticed it was warm some days.
Very hot humid and unhealthy in an orange smoggy ozoney way.
