Correct. SW has the heat, and at times has humidity. But humidity is relative. What you do not have are the dew points - water saturated air. Southeast does. Upper Midwest is having a banner year. Sounds as though the Northeast is getting some of it. In the past, these high dew point days did not continue as long as they have in recent years. I just took a break when they happened. Now I am doing as some of the others here suggest - gettng up real early so I can ride when the temp is low enough. The dew points are still high, so I am still turning into a sweaty mess. I have a club membership in my work building. I have not used the facility since winter, but am now keeping my work clothes there and showering before work. There is a reason the Southeast did not see the big surge in commuter population prior to air conditioning. Before that people took it easy in the heat. Let's hope this is a temporary trend up North. I can't stand it. On Jul 16, 9:21 am, PATRICK MOORE <[email protected]> wrote: > NM? SoCal?? We have very little of that stuff called "water" that translates > into atmospheric humidity.
