Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 07, 2022

Need an updated version of the saying, “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”

“When you’re hot, you’re hot!” Jerry Reed.

Feelings, nothing more than feelings

Hot – good. Sticky – not good.

HOT HOT HOT…Buster Poindexter…

Bring on the fall.

Peri-menopause effects at work?

Another advantage of a modern AC: works as a dehumidifier. In cases where you can cool down during night you can thus prevent mold effectively.

Her inner thermostat is working overtime

My definitions are “cold” if below 53, “hot” if above 83. 53-83F is perfect. That’s roughly 12-28C outside the US.

As my Granny used to say: “if ye bairns be too warm, take off the clothes ye be wearin’”

I’ve never understood the dew point.

so go put on bikini for us…er, for Arlo

We didn’t have a heat index or wind chill when I was young.

As, Arlo’s feelings are hurt?

Not sure whether “hot or not” is slightly more or less informative than “it’s 80 degrees,” as temperature values were assigned based on expansion of a liquid in a narrow tube. Celsius assigned zero to the freezing point of water, and 100 for its boiling point (At sea level, do you live there?). I don’t know how Fahrenheit came up with 32 and 212 (again sea level), but its wider range is ‘more’ useful for discussing comfort levels. And then there’s “feels like” which is just a way of saying “it’s not as comfortable as you expect.”

Technology! Is there nothing it can’t force us into doing!

83 is good for a high temperature this time of year, but not for a low.

It’s not, Janis is.

Dew point of 75? Left my gills in my other body.

“Muggy” was the word when I was a boy. Or “sticky” or “phew”.

Tell her to take her top off! It will be better then.

Good thing she looked

Anything over 75°F or a dew point above 50°F is too hot!!!!!
