Whew! HOT thank God the humidity hasn't hit yet, normally when it is 90 plus our humidity is ungodly but so far the temps have been above normal and humidity hasn't matched it yet.
Feels like 105 but if we had our normal humidity it would be much worse.
Charleston SC in the summer LOL
Time to go back to the waterfalls!

Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

Now we have hvac to keep it real.
Thank the Good Lord everyday and twice on Sunday that you're in South Carolina and not in the southern arid regions of California, Arizona or New Mexico. I was just there this past June and the temp was about 115 to 120 with a 25 to 30 mph sustained wind...and if there was any humidity in that Devil's furnace, you could not prove it by me.
I grew up in So. Cal. Kind of an "I walked to school five miles uphill both ways" type story, but back in the day (the fifties and sixties) air conditioning wasn't a normal thing, it was a luxury for most people. Commuting an hour or more a day sitting in traffic with no AC was normal. Coming home to a hot house was normal. School classrooms had no AC, you were lucky if they had any circulation. If you've never known anything different, you accept it. Ninety degree temperatures all night long wasn't unusual. We'd be outside playing in 115 degree weather. I've spent some time in places with high humidity, but there is nothing like the high desert or Death Valley in mid-summer, a few hours of the sun will make you or break you. I worked on a pipeline in the northern Mojave Desert, We kept an open top 55 gallon drum 2/3 full of water to dunk people who had passed out. Our safety briefing was to get them cooled down quick or they are going to die.
I spent a couple of years in 29 Palms California working construction on the base. And of course we couldn't start working until 7 in the morning. that was miserable...
But not as miserable as when I was working down in Monterrey Nuevo Nuevo Leon Mexico. The average temperatures was about a hundred degrees with on 85% humidity. That high temperature and humidity is a lot worse then the dry heat
In fact we finished up the contract in Monterey Nuevo Leon Mexico and went straight to 29 Palms, and we all thought that 120-125 Heat with no humidity what's great compared to Monterey Nuevo Leon Mexico's lower temperatures but higher humidity.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
