QUESTION OF THE DAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2021

[neely]

I can't believe it's September already! The temps. finally cooled down enough today to open the windows and let the house air out. Plus my electric bill will be less with the a/c turned off. Carleton is happy about it too since he loves to sit by the patio door and feel the cool breeze. One thing I won't miss about summer is the yard work especially pulling weeds. We had a very hot and humid summer and working outdoors was not pleasant.

So for today's QUESTION OF THE DAY - WHAT IS ONE THING YOU WON'T MISS ABOUT SUMMER?
(Feel free to name more than one if you choose.)

 

[strider rose]

humidity , hot scorching weather

 

[susanm9006]

The heat and the lack of rain.

 

[game misconduct]

sleeping with a fan blasting away on me and waking up with my nose, mouth all dried out or even worse all sweaty sticky feeling i will enjoy cooking in front of a hot stove if temps get cold enough this winter but its california so probably not

 

[Lari]

Extra high temps and humidity.

WHAT IS ONE THING YOU WON'T MISS ABOUT SUMMER?
Apart from a very hot week in May, we had no summer this year - lots of rain and a few warm sunny intervals. No summer dresses, shorts or sandals - the heating system wasn't turned off till July and we need it turned on again now. I definitely won't miss the flooding and hope it won't become a common occurrence.

It will still be summer here for a good 3 more months.

It starts to cool down in December. I look forward to having the AC off and being able to open a window or two. The girls will be able to spend more time out back in the screen room. I don't like for them to be out there when it's hot out and they HATE it when it rains if they are out there. Lilith's favorite chair is in the far corner and Sophie has a small table that she sits on nearby so they can sit and watch the world go by. The rain has not gotten the memo that it's not allowed to go through the screens when they are outside so if it starts raining, they both start hollering until I let them in. Does the yelling stop when they come in? No. Of course not. It's my fault for not cancelling the rain until they decide they want in again.

 

[Tik cat's mum]

Definitely the gardening. I don't have a garden but do the gardening at my daughters house.

 

[Winchester]

The humidity is horrible this year. I won’t miss living in stickiness.

 

[DreamerRose]

Heat and humidity for me, too. Also drought.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

The humidity for sure. It definitely makes the heat feel worse. I just prefer the heat to the potential for ice and snow on the roads; so I'm not THAT eager for summer to end. It's not that I love heat; it's that I don't love sketchy driving conditions.

 

[allmykitties]

What local weather refers to as "condition 90"-- humidity at 90+%, temperature 90+

 

[Elphaba09]

High humidity. I love it when it is 80-90 degrees with moderate humidity, but humidity affects my medical conditions and makes my legs swell even more than usual. Most of the summer, I feel as if my skin is about to split because it is too humid to wear my compression garments. Worse than that, the humidity affects my "good" leg more than my bad one.

The first part of the fall is not much better. I especially hate cold and humid days. Too humid for a sweater, too cold to be without. Yuck.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Heat and humidity are the biggest hatreds of mine. I also will not miss the related issue of sweating doing the smallest thing.

 

[Whenallhellbreakslose]

The heat and humidity and all the sweating it makes me do. I mentioned this somewhere before, but I feel like a Madame Tussaud's wax figure left in the sun one minute too long!

 

[Tobermory]

The lack of rain and the smoke and unhealthy air quality because of wildfires—which will probably last for several more weeks.

 

[lizzie]

I think I hate the humidity the worst.It messes with my breathing something wicked and makes it impossible to be outside.

 

[Norachan]

Mosquitoes

 

[Maria Bayote]

I second the others: heat and humidity, especially from where I am.
