Too Cool

Literally. This is August in Indiana, also known as "dog days". The State Fair starts this week. Community orgs are having ice cream socials every weekend. It's supposed to be hot - in August several days are supposed to be over 100°F. That's how it is in the Middle West of the American continent.

Yesterday's high temperature out here was 72°F (22°C). Our average high for the date is 82°F (28°C).

The humidity is still obnoxious, of course: it hit 97% at one point yesterday afternoon. But worse is that the low temperatures haven't varied much: yesterday's low was 61°F (16°C) and the average is 60°F (15°C). It feels like we're living in a chilled sauna, if there is such a thing.

Jan over at Secular Blasphemy assures us that the Gulf Stream is still quite functional, as the temperatures are quite warm in his part of the world. But you couldn't prove it by me: it feels like late spring or early autumn here!
