What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

[flushcut]

I hate Kentucky in the summer the humidity is just brutal I have family down in Lullville and we would visit them often. More rain coming here I think my skin has been replaced with moss.

What the heck is 147% humidity?
I thought 100% was raining.

 

[sawinredneck]

Record of 101 yesterday, we had a roofer die from heat stroke.
96 today with big storms moving in tomorrow.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

147% humidity is when it is raining, but it is hot enough to evaporate it as fast as it hits the ground. So you get 1.5 times more wet.

If you were a 56 year old woman, Deva....you'd know what 147% humidity feels like....trust me.

 

[Bodean]

I worry about you folks sometimes, out there in real weather country.

No wonder everyone thinks Californians are soft.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nahhhh we ain't soft... We just choose to drive to the weather at our convenience (and that would be avoiding rush hours also)

I thought it was a bit cool this morning when I went outside. It was 45F.

It got to mid 50's, second coldest May day on record, and it's still three weeks till winter.

 

[Al Smith]

It hit in the 70s' yesterday .Today it's supposed to be 84 .

With all this rain the spring flowers never looked so good .The precepitation for the year is exactly double this time last year .

 

[Cobleskill]

70, sunny, and a nice breeze. About as good as it gets in my book. With the several nice back to back days, it is finally drying out. The grass is growing like a nasty weed.

Mellow for right now, significant weather warnings and sever thunderstorm watches out all over the state, including my area right now.
The city/county printed out flyers in English and Spanish and have been going around handing them out to the roofing crews after the death Monday. http://www.kansas.com/2011/05/09/1842512/heat-suspected-in-butler-county.html

In practicality 100 percent humidity is most moisture at a given temperature the air will hold without raining .The warmer the air is the more humidity it holds .It's not the heat that gets you just the fact persperation will not evaporate in high humdity and cannot cool the poor old bod very well . Like 85 degrees in humid Ohio is more miserable than 100 in arid Arizona .

If you have 100 percent humidity at say 90 degrees and the temp drops to 87 it will rain at least some .

Pissing like a cow laying on a flat rock around here, or something like that.

You northerners are just now getting the nice weather we had all winter. Now it's hot here, and will be until October. It hit 95 today and not a hint of clouds or breeze.

 

[Underwor]

Well said Al. That is the main reason that I do not like visiting relatives in IL in midsummer or midwinter. That dang humidity will parboil and flash freeze you both. I will take the dry air of good old ND anytime.

EXCEPT now!! It will not stop raining and warm up. I thought the Dakotas were dry!!!

 

[Al Smith]

I imagine central Florida could become not so nice in summer .One of the reasons the snowbirds go north about Easter time .

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Upper 70s kinda warm and breezy today. Last day we are going to be doing any burning.. Just drying out too fast.

 

[flushcut]

I wish it was dry around here.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

About all the rain we will get form here on out will be just enough to wash the dirt off the brush and grass so it burns better.

[Bodean]

Thanks Al. Basically the hotter the air is, the more humidity it can carry without raining.
147% is when it's hella hot outside and hella humid at the same time.
Seems like it'd be easy to dehydrate in that kinda situation.

It was 48 when I got home today...rained most of the day, we got wet and cold so left a big horse chesnut removal in super close quarters to finish tomorrow. Very technical job, tiny work site to rig into...lots of GRCS lifting.....

I've been slow and bored and not posting much.

It's been our wettest and coldest spring ever......since early March the weather has really sucked.....Mt Baker and Mt Rainier each had their largest snow base ever as of Apr 15--Baker was at 250 inches, and 290 at a higher non official measuring station...even surpassing their base as of that date during the 1140 inch world record 12 month snowfall year-1998-99.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Good to see you alive and kicking!

It is finally sunny and warm for the next few hours anyway then guess what more rain and Tstorms.
