A high pressure system to the east of us has been keeping the monsoonal flow from Mexico hanging around. Sometimes there are clouds, sometimes not, but with clouds or not, it’s been incredibly humid. Ninety-seven degrees and eighty or ninety percent humidity. The heat is bad enough, but when you toss in a little humidity? I’m done for. I even ran the A/C three days in a row and that’s crazy.
Even though I closed the house early and had all the blinds drawn and it was cooler inside than out, the humidity was unbearable (how on earth do people do it with swamp coolers?).
But that ridge of pressure is moving which will eventually allow cooler air from up north flow down our way. But for now, at least the humidity is on its way out. Thank goodness.

Since the first of July we’ve had mostly 90?+ days and humidity is in the 80% to 90% range! Our heat indexes have been over 100? and they are usually 110?!!!
