I went for a hot walk one afternoon last week, it was only about 28C (82F) but it felt fainting hot in the sun. Apparently the humidity made it feel like mid-thirties (95F). I took relief every few minutes under the shade of some large trees. I supposed a morning walk might've been a better idea. We needed some bananas from the grocery store and I thought it would be a good idea to walk.
It reminded me of a post I made 6 years ago where 'I made a mental note to remember this sticky day in the dead of winter when I'm freezing!'
Are you ready for fall (if you live in a cold climate)?

The humidity makes the heat worse, that's true. I always went out very early in the long, hot spell we had, it was the only way to get in a walk for me. Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
Walking in the afternoon on hot days is not recommended Christine.
Last summer in Sydney, Australia we had many days reaching 40C, I stayed inside those days or drove to an shopping centre for relief.
Spring has sprung down under which is my favourite season because of the lovely colours.

Still warmish in the UK. Bit grey and dull though.
God bless.
Ah spring!
It's been a very hot and humid summer, making it very difficult to be outdoors in the afternoon. I'm looking forward to the cooler days of fall!
I'm ready.
I can't wait for cooler weather!
I always look forward to autumn and spring...they are usually nearer the climate I enjoy. BUT! I love snow, too. So I need Winter. I also need to eat so I need summer...the growing season :) Guess I will love my two favorites and accept summer and winter and just keep on taking the good with the not so good :D
If only fall could last forever
We had 99 degrees yesterday and 100 is forecast for today. I was up early to clean the patio, and it was so lovely and cool that I didn't even break a sweat. What lovely mornings we are now having. It's getting hot now and I'm glad to be back indoors, with the fans and the AC.
I felt like that while walking last week. It's the humidity that gets me. Today however it has dropped to 63 degrees F., has turned very dark and there is rain coming.
I hate humidity!
Our weather in the UK has been a little dull and grey … I'm looking forward to nice Autumn days and walks...perhaps tomorrow … we shall see.
All the best Jan
I am so ready for fall. This summer has been hot and humid and almost all of the weekends rainy which took a lot of fun out of it. You would have thought with all that "staying inside time" I would have gotten more done, but that didn't happen either. Hope you are staying hydrated whilst you wait for color temps.
I can relate to what you said about being so hot in 80 something weather. I noticed several years ago that even if it is 70 or 65 if one is in the sun directly it feels hotter. I read once that the UVF is higher now that the sun is emitting. Not fall yet but we have warmed up over the last few days and a cool down is coming within the next few days.
