about 20% relative humidity, after coping with coastal New England and Florida.

If the rains come before 2 PM, they just raise the humidity. If they come after 3 PM or so, they cool things off. After dark, they create cool outflow winds as the storms collapse. Most storms are late afternoon, when we get them.

Skies are relentlessly sunny here, ten days or so after they should have started.

My flat has a heat pump setup. I haven't turned it on for a couple of weeks, I think everybody else is keeping me cold. If you ever hit the lottery, I do recommend a heat pump setup, they work really well and are very efficient.

My strategy is to go soak my head when I'm overheated. Wet hair cools me off for a long time.
