It is quite humid here but not that hot. It is very early morning and about 75 degrees. I put the AC on because I can't stand humidity.:rolleyes:
 

As you may be aware I'm in In Queensland ( Australia) on holidays to escape a month of very cold weather when I live in South Aus...According to the TV news it's a very nice winters days here in Qld 23 c degrees, ....S.A daytime temp is 13c...........Qld is very nice in winter ( now) however it can be very humid in summer ,we experience more dry heat during summer in S.A. with an accasional humid day.We would love to live here as the winters are more kind to the poor ole bones,but like you can't stand the humidity during summer
 
I don't know where you live Annie but here in California, where I live, it was about 105* and I stayed indoors till about 7 pm. Our humidity wasn't too bad I guess. I lived in Okla for 18 months back in the early 80s and the humidity was sure horrible there! :( I also lived in FL for 5 months while my husband was working on a store in Coral Gables and the humidity got pretty bad there too but I got used to it. I love FL.

I looked at your profile and see you have a dog named Suzy too. Mine is a Boxer, what is yours? We also have two small dogs, we especially love, named Seth and Minnie Mouse.
 

It's 9am here Sunny and about mid 60's at the moment.. set to be about 10 degrees higher in a little while..but these are lower temps than average for August this year here..

I am in Ohio. Suzy is a Shih Tsu and going on 6 years old soon. I also have a bird named Danny. Your dogs sound cute. :)
 
"Summertime and the living is queasy." Let's all sing it together. Hot and humid here today...
 
Here in Scotland we've had the wettest summer on record, and I'm sure the coldest as well. Today is nice though as it's sunny with a high of about 19C/66F. It's lovely. This time next week I'll be in Michigan with temps in the 80's I think.
 
Warm and sunny here in the valley at the tip of Vancouver Island. The water in the lakes and rivers is lower this year because of the unprecedented heat wave we had earlier, but a beautiful summer with record crop yield so far. Today should be a comfortable 25 degrees, perfect for picking blackberries. A tad humid, but not unbearable.
 
Going to be a hot week here in Massachusetts. Already 70 degrees and humid at this early hour (7:30). Going up to 94 today with high humidity. Ahhh, New England! Going to be an indoor kind of day.

I will be in Boston in mid September and I'm bringing capris, short sleeves, sweatshirt and jacket, and raincoat. I'm prepared for anything.
 
It's been hot and dry the last few weeks. My grass has been brown. But we got 2 inches of rain over the weekend and suppose to rain off an on all week. My grass has already perked up from the weekend rain.
 
9:30 am by me, and it hasn't quite hit 70 yet. It's been high 80s and 90s, looking forward to the fall when temps cool down.
 
We'll have an unusually hot day in central PA with a high of 90F. I plan to take it easy and enjoy it. The temps will be in the single digits again before I know it.

Whenever we were expecting visitors in the UP, we cautioned them to "bring warm clothes"...didn't matter if it was winter or summer.

I lived in the UP as well! Ever changing. I tell visitors to Scotland be prepared for anything, especially wet and cold. I can tell when tourists are arriving as they wear shorts and seem to expect that it will be hot and sunny just because it's summer. Obviously haven't visited Scotland before!
 
Normally it is very hot and bone dry here in August. You usually don't even have to mow the lawn after July. This year we are having numerous widespread afternoon thunderstorms, gully washers in fact, with highs in the upper 80s and high humidity. Good for the plants and trees (and weeds and parasites and fungus).
 
Forest fires! All over BC. Nothing major near the valley where I live, but dangerous ones in the Okanagan desert climate. Not only a threat to lives and homes, but also to the majority of the premier orchard crops of the province. Also raging fires out of control in the interior kootenay region. Here in the valley, the river levels are too low for the salmon to thrive, who knows what the effect will be if the stocks are badly damaged. Yet water is still diverted to the mill thirty miles north of here.
