Whew, finally made it to 100 for the first time this summer, topping out at 102 in my backyard. Hot temps won't last much longer. Highs only in the mid 80s on Monday.

lol saw this thread. I'm in North-Central Florida. My AC broke today. As I write this at 11:00pm at night, its 82 degrees in my house. Wont have the piece to fix it until Wednesday.

I can deal with the days just fine, but the night sucks.

OKC has much drier summers than Florida, so it doesn't feel as brutal. Also, I live in a first floor, East facing apartment.

I have never lived in Florida but have lived in SE Texas south of Houston. Oklahoma is much drier than SE Texas. Especially this summer with the dew point in the 60's a lot of the time.

Are OKC summer dewpoints usually in the 70s? Dallas and Atlanta seem to average in the low 70s, and since OKC is drier than both, I'd think OKC averages in the high 60s.

SoCal averages in the low 60s, but they'll have a couple heat waves every year with temps in the high 90s to low 100s with dews in the low 70s.

I did not say they averaged in the 70's only that we had stretches where it was dryer than normal. There were times they were in the 50's in the afternoon which is unusual. Dewpoints are about 65-66 in summer. They can get up in the 70's and stay there during heat waves. To me it seemed like less of those days this year and the numbers back that up:

The average temp was down 3 degrees below normal in August and 2 degrees below in July. That also made it feel more comfortable.

Next week a very potent cold front will hit us dropping the daytime highs in the 60's for a day or two. Perhaps in the 40's at night.

I am so looking forward to the cooler weather next week! Even if it doesn't last long, I am ready for it.

Personally, I think the humidity here is awful. I despise hot humid conditions. Summer is my least favorite season, and I am always ready for it to end.

I am ready for fall and winter.

Not me. During the winter, I hate having to put on a coat before I go out and having to take it off when I go back in. 70's are better but summertime temps in the low 90s without a heat advisory out are not at all bad to go for a walk.

The dangerous snow and ice sometimes on the roads during the winter are another reason why winter will never be my favorite season. If you have ever tried driving on the Interstate at night during a heavy snowstorm, you might know what I'm talking about.
