    How’s it looking in your local area, y’all? We’re breaking heat and heat index records over here in MN - dew point is 76°F right now. For those that don’t know, dew point is a better measure of actual humidity than relative humidity, because dew point does not fluctuate with the temperature. Dew point of 65°F is considered “humid” and 70°F is considered “unbearable”. I’m…probably skipping my daily walk today.

      South-eastern US checking in. I think “oppressive” is the most apt word. It feels very still outside; amazed I haven’t drowned from the humidity. Even the birds sound exhausted.
