Then come spring it's storms and rain a lot, worst of all the worlds...but you can't beat our 1 month of so of good solid fall weather.

I love your neighbor! I moved from Kansas to Texas during August. After about two weeks of 100+ temps, the weather guy said the temps were cooling off. I immediately jumped up, turned my A/C off, and started to open a window. I quickly realized the error of this decision. Bless my heart!

Born and raised Floridian here, and I can tell you at 3 o'clock is exactly when it rains everyday during our summer cycle. About 20 minutes long and you think you're in a monsoon until it's abruptly ends and then you're left with the Super sauna effect. And don't think about going on a nice hike or to the park unless you're anemic and need the heat. Really love the bless your heart! That was the finishing touch. I really like the new videos

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

@@curtisfranzen986 that wind you see... Atlanta gets zero movement of air. It's 95 plus with that humidity and zero air movement. Add to the fact that the 90 degree heat and elevated humidity starts in mid to late April and goes into late Sept. Imagine sitting in a sauna for 6 months. The nights don't even improve. When the back yard pool (full sized gunite) is actually very warm you know it has been around 100 degrees for about 7 plus days with zero cooling at night. I know Chicago gets hot and I've been to the great lakes during a heat wave. It wasn't pleasant. No one and nearly nothing was air conditioned. THAT was awful. The restaurants were unpleasant as hell to eat in and shops were like ovens. They do call Atlanta "Hotlanta" for a reason though. It's the ridiculous length of the summer, the complete lack of anything resembling a breeze, the length of the especially hot temps, and the thick juicy nights. The Atlantic one side and the gulf on the other side of the south of Georgia and the extreme southern latitude and lack of breeze make it a summer that seemingly never ends. Please know that my diatribe is all in fun. I know everyone prides themselves on the various miseries of their location. I'm in the plains and now take pride in the -20 cold I've endured. I know there are a infinitely colder places either by actual temperatures or greater lengths of the blasts. It's all in good fun.

[@curtisfranzen986]

I've got one you may appreciate. My son Josef (USMC) went to San Diego for basic. They get humidity warnings at 25%. That very same day, in Chicago the temperature was 89* with 92% humidity. As you have mentioned, Atlanta's numbers are similar. 2 other young men in Josef's group were from ATL. They all looked at each other like WTF?

I'd hang outside, even in the middle of the day, no matter how hot; and I learned to accept it. I also ran around barefoot, despite poisonous critters. I just didn't worry about snakes or whatnot. If you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. I never saw the point of sitting inside out of fear of heat, humidity, snakes, etc. We Midwesterners just don't live that way.

I'm a 5th Gen Native Floridian and my husband is from Maine(a transplant)and if you ever and there are certain things you just do not do in the "summer"....then again it can be 89°F on Christmas day so...more like things you just don't do if the combined feels like, UV index, and actual temperature is over 100°F by 11am. Disney during December is perfect weather wise. Busch Gardens year round is fine. Water Parks are OK providing you respect the heat and hide somewhere from no later then 12pm-4pm. My family has a timeshare at the beach in July so you just wake up early have fun and avoid the heat of the day then continue having fun till whenever. If I had a dollar for every case of sun poisoning, sun stroke, heat exhaustion, and sun burns requiring a trip to the E.R., and person who didn't realize you can get sunburnt from the glare of the sun off the water I'd never have to worry about inflation again. Pretty sure the reason Florida is the chaotic center of the U.S.(and the world)has mostly.to do with the weather and how people's body and brains adapted to survive.

The hottest major city in the North was Philadelphia, with an average daytime high temperature of 87 degrees that month. Dallas, Texas was the hottest in the South with an average daytime high temperature of 94 degrees.

I used to love being able to go to music festivals, there is no music in this world worth being out in that heat. I knew that summer wasn't necessarily my favorite season, but I can tell you it's my absolute least favorite now.

I went down south one time to take some kids from church to a 2 week long summer camp program in Tennessee. It was August, and it got pretty warm early in the day- so I would get up extra early and go out for a walk in the woods down to a pond and go fishing while the kids were still sort of asleep. Growing up in Iowa, we don't have poisonous snakes....but I learned in Boy Scouts to step ON rocks & logs instead of over them. I also carried a stick with me in case I did come across a timber rattler or copperhead. When the camp staff found out about my escapades they kinda looked alarmed.........because apparently the area around pond was "infested" with timber rattlers. I guess they were concerned I was going to get bit- but honestly I'd been to Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri and the southwest enough times to know what to do- but it was funny how the southerners thought I was this naive Iowan who thought for sure I'd step on a copperhead, lol.
