Anyone with winter weather prowess want to come join us?

Since we southern folk get laughed at in the winter any northern folk want to come sit out here? It's only a heat index of 105 if you aren't over pavement like a parking lot or road. I mean a heat index of 110 like we'll have tomorrow is cool right?

And next month will be hotter and Sep can bring base temps of 110+. Forget the 'feels like' crap.

Lets do this thing!

Been kind of boring around here. Maybe 2 days over 100 so far and some highs in the low 70s last week. Central Ark has been a let down for heat related suckage.

We get well below zero here in Winter and frequently above 100* in Summer - no need to travel!

In addition to our winters, I'd wager a bet that you wouldn't be able to handle our heat up here (WI) either. I have relation down in TX and have spent plenty of time in your 110° heat. It feels like our 85°. It's nowhere comparable to our heat/humidity.
You guys are just pussies, that's all.

I spent several summers in WI as a kid; you don't know what humidity is.

I think the humidity is around 278% today in NC.

105 sounds nice, when ours was 90 with a heat index of 100 and 90% humidity. the dry heat is hot but without the humidity feels better than up here.

I'd rather just put up with a few months of heat and humidity and have our winters rather than put up with snow and the bitter cold for many months like they have up north.

This is truth. This my first summer here in WI, and I have spent summers in Nevada, Arizona, and Southern California deserts, and it is worse here. Today it is suppose to be 90 with high humidity. You can swim in the air..

I think it will start to rain inside my factory.

I am looking forward for Fall then Winter.

I know this is in "jest", but I get this a lot (from tourists visiting our Florida beaches in February) and not only is it annoying, it needs clarification:

Dew Point. Dew point will **** your life up. Humidity, while relevant, isn't that big of a deal to anyone except northern people saying their summers are "just as hot as..."

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/weath...p-relhum_x.htm

Q: Is dew point or relative humidity a better indication of how humid the air feels? My guess is it's relative humidity. Also is there much variation between the dew point temperature from day to day?

A: Dew point is by far the better measurement of how humid the air feels.

What's the dew point in Madison Wisconsin today? 65*F. Your low temperature yesterday was 61*F. What's the dew point here? 77*F. Our low temperature? 82*F. Sample size of one day, sure. But find me a day when your dew point is over 70*F and I'll slap myself silly. It just doesn't happen up there, and even if it does you won't experience it for six months straight. May-October highs are above 90* with ridiculous dew points. There is a reason why no one lived here before air conditioning and why your grandparents still only live here 6 months out of the year. Even riding a motorcycle in a t-shirt at midnight doing a constant 60mph will still result in you getting home with sweat stains and needing a shower.

Not sure about Madison, I stay as far away from there as possible.

As far as dew point goes, HVAC is part of my profession & I'm well versed. I used the humidity thing as most people not in the profession always say "it's not the heat so much as is it's the gosh, darn humidity..."
But thanks for the attempt at the education. I'm sure others will find it interesting.
