Wilting in the Heat & Humidity
Has the continental USA been flipped upside down?
I choose to live in New England because of it's variable weather- the unexpected pleasure of snowfall one day, gorgeous sunshine and 60's the next. I liked not knowing what each day would bring when I rolled up the window shade and got my first glimpse of the new day.
Now I feel like I live in Florida. The heat and humidity is oppressive and unwelcome. I am not heat tolerant, and do not do well in humidity either. This has been going on here all summer, it seems. Today the sun was shining brightly and the rain was falling in torrents!
Today I saw a young man sitting bare chested on the roof of his car in the sunshine and rain while waiting for someone to come back outside from their doctor appointment. This is not something one sees every day in Westfield, MA. Even human beings can't tolerate the heat and humidity sitting in a car with the windows all down.
I am wilting...but not yet melting.

It's no better twenty miles to the north.
