Where Did Our Cool Season Go?

.

Perhaps to North America?

.

I know that at times I’ve teased my temperate zone friends and family about how warm and comfortable it is here while they are freezing up in the Great White North – and I realize they are at this moment suffering a full winter blast at well below 0*F (-18*C) and worse – but the heat and humidity here right now is dreadful, and it’s not funny!  This is supposed to be our one comfortable time of year.

.

Today has been 95*F with increasingly humid air coming in.  At sundown it was too humid to be outside, as I was dripping with sweat after sitting out for five minutes, with mosquitoes having a feeding frenzy on my mostly bare body.  Now I’m inside treating my wounds.

In the Northern latitudes they are sitting close to the fireplace or heaters; here we huddle in front of fans.  Everyone longs for that perfect zone of comfort.
