God, I hate summer. I hate going outside for 2 minutes and then feeling like I need to take a shower.

Haha yeah it’s actually better today than earlier this week I think, but feels worse than the hot days we had last month.

So CWG got me turned into dew point years ago, and 70 is definitely on the edge of sultry. But I’m surprised to see such low humidity of 47% with such high dew point. I’ve googled and Wikipedia but haven’t found a good explanation of how they relate.

I hear the new new thing is the wet bulb temp, which is 70 today — which is the edge of where it gets uncomfortable.

Either way I feel more uncomfortable today than several weeks ago that were warmer, but maybe it’s me.

I use Apple Weather (RIP Dark Sky), WeatherBug, and Carrot apps
