Ottakee Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Temps. It is about 95 and humid here in West Michigan and I am ready for fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Neither... I grew up with New York/Cape Cod summers, warm days and cool nights. Ideal is 84 for a high and 60 for a low. For now I sit a suffer, for my 33rd summer in Atlanta. At least we have not had the usual humidity with all this near record heat. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeytolily Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'm here in Lansing, it's 90 today, and I can't wait for summer to be over! Crazy, I'm a Florida native, but I knew even as a child that I hated the heat and wanted to escape. It only took me 48 years! C'mon, fall!

LauraGB Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Cold. I can layer clothes until I'm warm. With the heat, I can only remove so many layers and still be roasting. Ideal is upper 60s/lower 70s with a slight breeze. Not the stupid, stinkin', humid 102 it is here today :glare:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I live in FL....sometimes I'm not sure why LOL. I cannot stand the summers here and I've lived here my whole life. I'll take a little cooler weather any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 DRY heat. Give me a 90+ degree day in southern California. Don't go above 80 in western Washington. I'm really, really, really sick of the cold, wet weather here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfatherslily Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Okay, of the two, I prefer 90 degrees. I have a/c for the summer and I have heat for the winter and I don't need to do any strenuous work outside in the hot weather. I don't like to be cold. Crazy, I'm a Florida native, but I knew even as a child that I hated the heat and wanted to escape. It only took me 48 years! lol! I grew up in Connecticut and decided during childhood that I'd move south, away from the horrible COLD winters! By 19, I married and moved to Alabama:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I love mid-70s with little to no humidity and a nice breeze. Ahhhhh... I actually like winter weather...in the winter, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenC3 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Cold. I can layer clothes until I'm warm. With the heat, I can only remove so many layers and still be roasting.

Ottakee Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 I would MUCH rather be out doing chores and horseback riding in 50 degrees---heck, we have been our riding in temps below zero. There is a limit to what I can take off and the horses do not do as well with temps over 80 and the mid 90s and high humidity are hard on them. I remember just a few weeks ago BASKING in the the sun and 42 degrees. It felt wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalknot Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hot. I don't mind hot so much, uless it's also humid; but even then, I still prefer hot. I know I can dress for the cold, and there are only so may layers a decent person may shed in public ... but I greatly prefer hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) I hate, hate, hate hot weather! I grew up in South Florida and it made me ill in the summer. I just can't function in it. We live in the mountains now, but it can still get hot here (it's 93 today). We are poor as church mice right now and can't afford to run the a/c or dryer at all this summer. I just hung out a huge load of laundry and it was like taking a sweat bath out there...I found myself dabbing the sweat out of my eyes with my clean, wet laundry! Only 4 more months of this h*ll. :glare: Oh...I refuse to cook until it's cool again. Salads, fruit and sandwiches are all I'll prepare. DH can grill something if he wants meat. I don't even feel like eating in this weather. Edited June 7, 2011 by Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cortana Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I like it between 75 and 80, low humidity and a nice pleasant breeze blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalgirl Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I picked "other" as 50F is a bit too cold for me, but this 100+F is horrendous! I will take a nice 75F day, thank you. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I live in northern Michigan and it's 93 today. I LOVE it. The only problem is keeping the plants and trees happy but other than that, I'm in heaven. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I voted 'cool'. I can always wear lots of clothing or sit wrapped in blankets but there is only so much I can take off when I'm hot, especially out in public. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Yeah - do I have to pick one or the other? I guess I do, 'cause that's all we ever get here - either I'm wearing a sweater, or it's sweltering. How about some days in from the mid '60s to the mid '80s? Huh? Huh? Seems like it shoots right from 55 to 90 with humidity around here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Other. In general during the summer I like it to be between 75 and 80 with no humidity. Overall, I prefer cool to hot. You can always put on another layer but when it is hot you are naked and still hot. No fun at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenoraddict Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Temps. It is about 95 and humid here in West Michigan and I am ready for fall. I'm originally from West MI, and you have my favorite weather. Granted, 95 and humid (especially in June) is very unusual there. Here in the MidAtlantic, it's what we have to suffer through most of the summer. I hate it. The humidity makes me woozy. Can't wait to float in Lake MI at the end of July when it's unbearable here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Cold. There is a reason I live in northeast Maine, and it ain't the blackflies. It got up to 74* and I sweated like a_____ in ______ it was so hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 When temps start reaching 80, I start hiding out. Past 85 and I'm no good to anyone. I'm so thankful that I didn't live in Central Texas when I had young dc at home, with their outside activities and whatnot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patches Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Cool for me! You can always wrap up and layer up if you are cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Well, I prefer a mild day -- upper 70s to low 80s -- but, of the choices give, I'll take 90+ over a cold day, any day. The less heavy, restrictive clothing I have to wear, the better! I live for sundresses and flip flops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAutumnOak Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 90+ temps is just too hot for me unless I am going to the shore that day...If I am not on the beach, I will take the cooler weather any day...65 or 70 is best but 50 is better than 90+...

Wow, it was really hot and you were sweating at 74!...You would HATE NJ!...It is 94 here now and is suppose to reach at least 100 tomorrow! I would love 74 over this ;)...I love the cooler weather, but DH is from Puerto Rico and LOVES the hot summertime...So it looks like I am stuck with hot summers at least :tongue_smilie:...At least we have Fall...

Violet Crown Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) I'm a native New Mexican who grew up in Austin, Texas. Dh's first job was in upstate New York. In our second winter there, one day as I was herding the child toward the mall for the third time that week, because there was nowhere else she could run around in the sub-freezing temperatures (we alternated mall and museum), and a stiff wind blew across the mountain of dirty ice piled up by the snow plows in the middle of the parking lot, chilling me to the bone despite my heavy coat, I made a silent vow that if I ever was permitted to return to my beloved Texas, I would never complain about the heat. Shortly thereafter, dh was offered his dream job in Austin. I flew down with little dd ahead of him, in August, and we had to change planes in Houston. As the door to the jetway opened, a palpable wall of heat off the tarmac struck me bodily. It was like someone opened a giant oven door. "Ah," I thought. "Home!" :D Record high of 102 here yesterday. Who's complaining? Edited June 7, 2011 by Sharon in Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I would pick hot over cold. But, I loved living in Hawaii with the daily 80-85 degree weather. I enjoyed our three years in Hawaii, as an experience, but I didn't love the weather. Our first five months (from June 1 to end of October) were in a house without air and I almost died - 90 degrees in the house all the time, humid and still as could be. I actually cried. Getting a house with air was a huge, huge blessing :) I've lived in the extremes - the super cold Calgary, Canada winters, super hot and humid NC summers, Hawaii, San Diego (out of all of them SD has the best weather for me), but I desperately miss the seasons. My ideal - mild weather all year round, but I WANT seasons. I hate humidity. I hate anything over 80. I hate it when it's too hot, and I hate having to turn on air conditioning. We're kind of focusing on Seattle area and Denver-Boulder area when we are done with the military (less than 3 years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I like it HOT and DRY. Here we have very low humidity and very high temps in summer- and summer is looooooong. But there is the beach, air conditioning, and I just love the sun. I do love autumn and spring too. We seem to have had very little autumn and straight into winter here- too cold after months of stinking hot. I don't mind- I like all the seasons- but I don't find myself longing for winter the way I long for summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraciebytheBay Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Extreme heat makes me crazy. Really. I get grumpy, impatient, anxious...badness all around. The funny thing is I lived in Oklahoma for eight years and then four more years in the midwest! Here in NY now, where it still gets pretty hot.

eaglei Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Of the choices - hot or cool - I'd pick cool. My favorite, though, is cold! Give me winter! And if I can't have winter then give me a rainy, overcast, cool day . . . Just please don't torment me with summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 70 is my ideal. I'd take 50 over 90 any day, so that is what I voted for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
