Heck id even settle for 100+ Degree clear days to fly... probably would be good for me... sweat off a few pounds while having fun

I live in a valley about 30 miles from the coastline, and it was around 108 yesterday at my home. [:'(] I keep getting all those "Flex your Power" and "Help Conserve Water" things in the mail, not to mention the lawn in my backyard is nonexistant because even watering it 3 times a day couldn't save it. What me and most of the other Californians wouldn't do for some rain...not to mention we have around 4 wildfires.

Yep, it's been pretty dry for us here in Oklahoma. We're about 18" behind on rain right now. We've had huge fire danger all year so far because of the lack of rain. I agree with the above, I'd give up all flying for a month for some rain this way.

Luckily the humidity stays pretty low here. I'd rather have 108° and 20% humidity than 95° and 80% humidity!!! [X(]

Welcome to my world. Except its 97° and 100% humidity here in South East Texas!! And when it rains the humidity get even worse if you can imagine that. After a rain when its already extremely humid the air is so wet and so hot that its hard to breath and you immediately get a butt crack sweat going when you open the front door...

It's going to be a beautiful weekend to fly and I came down with some kind of bug. This also happened to me in the middle of my ski vacation in 2005. There I was in the middle of skier's paradise and my nose was running like a fountain.

I would love to try that dry heat once....its 95 and the humidity stays at %100...you can see the air in the morning near trees and bushes..........step out of the shower and start to sweat before you reach the towel!! Now that is humidity!!
just a note from the east coast,,,I didnt know it got so hot in "Olahoma"
