No Walmarts in NYC.
Basically the same in Toronto the last week. It's 'cooled off' this weekend into the 28c/80f range (not including the humidex), but the air is still basically soup, so it's miserable to be outside. I grew up in Northern California with 100f+ being the norm in the Summer, but it was a lovely, bright sun with dry heat. This 80f and humid is misery.

Like I said earlier I'd take a 110F over this 95F + Humidity any day of the week.
Dry heat is so much better than sticky moist humidity.

My electricity bills have been astronomical due to the humidity this summer. It's like impossible to live without A/C.

There are at least 3 water hydrants open close to where I live. Very tempted to jump in.
Dude, this! Waiting for the train back home at 51st St. felt like I was losing bone mass! xD

Yeah, got my ConEd bill last week and it was fucking horrid.
Autumn, please just get here already.
I always love when north easterners complain about temps in the 90's. That's just a regular summer day out west. Hell, come September, that cool! lol
Desert heat is not the same thing as humid heat.
When the temperature is in the mid to high 90's and the humidity approaches 100%, your body can no longer sweat. It's actually incredibly dangerous and hazardous.
We were in the same boat in Ottawa for a while. We're in luck today...it's raining all day and cooling down a bit. Still 29C all week and humid as he'll...but a bit better than last week.

Preach it. I don't get why people never seem to grasp the concept of humidity in relation to dry heat.

You do realize out west we have monsoon season where it's super humid, right? The desert west isn't super dry year-round.
Why do people not grasp that the desert west is not dry year-round? It can be super humid (as it is lately).

I prefer the heat and it's the last hooray because I go back upstate in a week and then suffer an entire year of freezing my butt off and wishing it wasn't so cold out.
It also means I won't have much time to show off my summer wardrobe anymore, because I'll have to be all bundled up soon anyway. I love my summer leather jacket too much, I don't want to go to my winter jacket ;-;

Because in general it is not humid, just like in general if you live near the water on the east coast; NYC, Galveston ect.. you usually have humidity.
Edit:
I can always tell when it is super humid as my hair turns into a frizzy, poofy mess. Should have preemptively uses some moose or something.
Well, it's supposed to rain today but it hasn't really done it yet. And it's not actually going to cool anything off. Tonight it's supposed to feel like 37C.
Always one of you guys, it's like you never heard of humidity before.I always love when north easterners complain about temps in the 90's. That's just a regular summer day out west. Hell, come September, that cool! lol

We don't have AC and WE ARE FINE.
Man, My girlfriends from Cali and we live in NY. Always complains about how 'cold' it is when it's like 75 degrees. Then the humidity hit; she went to an outdoor show on thursday and all I have is a string of texts complaining on how unbearably hot it was and it was only technically 90 that day, LOL.
I can do a Vegas 105 degrees easily in comparison to dealing with NYC humidity even in the 80's. At least in a dry heat shade works and you can catch a breeze. When its humid THERE IS NO ESCAPE

Because they dont know what it feels like. I spent a summer in Sacramento 11 years ago and the news was crying about 110 degree weather, man I walked around like it was nothing. Humidity is the worst.....the worst!

Its starting to remind me why fall and winter are my favorite times of the year around here... At least when it gets too cold you can just throw on a few dozen extra layers, crank the heat, or light something on fire. There's only so much you can take off when it's this hot/humid...
