I'm in some podunk north of Houston called Sugar Cane or some shit. It's 3:00 in the morning and it's 80 goddamn degrees outside. No big deal, my car has A/C, right? Except it's so humid that the chill the A/C is putting on my windshield and windows is making them fog up. My wipers can barely keep up with the windshield, and I have to roll down the windows when I turn so that I can see where I'm about to go. It's muggier than a frog's asshole.

Didn't anyone ever tell you guys it's supposed to cool off when the sun goes down?

The warmth of the Gulf and the Caribbean Sea to its south keep moisture in plentiful supply.

It’s not just the water itself that contributes to the mugginess. The water vapor over the ocean doesn’t migrate inland on its own—weather patterns drag it inland and keep it locked in place. Strong winds blowing counterclockwise around low-pressure systems often help bring this tropical moisture inland, especially during the cooler months when you expect to shiver rather than sweat. During the summer, though, persistent ridges of high pressure keep the southeast feeling gross with a moist southerly wind. These “heat domes” deflect most weather systems approaching from the west, basically locking the Southeast into a state of sultriness for weeks and even months at a time.

Get used to the heat pansy. I embrace it.

Just one of many reasons the south sucks.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

yeah it really sucks that all the women have to dress down for the hot weather too, and that hot days could last through fall and even on into winter. one of the biggest bummers about southern living all these fine ass women wearing less clothing cos it is hot out. so sad /s

Boy you come on ova heah wit that purty mouf an I show you what sucks.

Take your carpet baggin ass back up north then

 

[kingbean]

Yeah, anything along that line of latitude kinda sucks ass for weather.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Bro, I spend most of my day cooking on the sun on top of people's houses or on wooden poles and you don't hear me complain.
Man up bro.

Son, come on down to Florida if you want "Satan's Asscrack" levels of humidity.

Protip for people visiting FL, don't try and steal a Floridian's generator after a hurricane, especially if you hear a window AC unit. You will be shot.

I live in Florida too and I went to boot camp in Texas. Can confirm that Texas is straight up "dry" in comparison.

You think 80 degrees is hot ?

 

[Raven117]

Lol. 80.

hell, it’s not even all that bad this week

 

[deafmedal]

At 3am? Yes. Nothing like sweating as soon as you walk out the door to go to work before the sun rises. I'm lucky to live in central TX where there are a mixture of dry and humid days, east TX is nasty. West TX has the best summer but is ugly as hell. Shit, I got super lucky and ended up working in the Bay Area this summer, warm during the day, usually in the 50/60s at 3am.

I originally come from Greece that has hot, humid summers and 80 degrees at night is not unheard of.

So then you know that 80 at 3am is indeed uncomfortable after dealing with 95-105 all day long. Looks like Greece shares a similar type summer to parts of TX (and the southern US) from a quick glance... shit's for the birds! I cannot get to the Pacific North West quick enough.

Sugar Land isn't north of Houston and it's not called Sugar Cane and maybe just wear a menstrual pad to keep your panties dry

Uncomfortable, maybe but I wouldn’t call it hot like it is during the day.
If you don’t have the sun blazing down on you it makes a huge difference.

Buddy of mine joined the Chair Force straight out of HS, and did his boot camp at San Antonio. He told me how he was calling everybody else in the training platoon who was dying at 100f a pussy, because "it was like a warm Spring day in Florida."

You need to calm down.

Switch on your cars window demisters. Problem solved.

I'm from Alabama. I can talk shit about the 49th state of the union.

 

[Texas Pride]

Sack up buddy you're gonna make it.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Not having a winter isn't right

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I drive around without a/c and it is far more humid here than in Houston. 80 degrees is fucking nothing. Also as others have said your car has a setting to defog your windows.

 

[Woo-Fu]

What is wrong with people who don't know how to use the climate controls in a car properly?

Drive a wrangler with the top off, you get to squeegee both sides of the windshield each morning.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

What is wrong with the South? Too much incest.

[manfestival]

I am just laughing at the thought of the OP using his windshield wipers to deal with the humidity fogging. You can clean that up in like 10 seconds while driving.

 

[Nehezir]

Arkansas is less hot thank texas but frequently feels Humid as all hell. the general temps have risen a lot over the years, too. We don't even get snowstorms anymore, most years.}}Today the humidity is 93%, according to Miqosoft's apps. and 79f on a day with a Flood Warning. Christ...

The only good thing about you guys getting wrecked by hurricanes is that it means we get rain to cool us off. So thank you for your service down there in hurricane danger zones.

 

[IfuckinghateReddit]

I lived in Hong Kong for two years where the average temperature was 34C (93) with 90% humidity.

You're a fucking pussy.

 

[bronk]

Fuck humidity. Give me that 120 Havasu dry titty heat.

 

[highrider]

I’m from DC and have had many Florida people tell me the humidity is worse here. Fortunately I’m ex-military and have spent many hours in MOPP level 4. You really don’t know what heat is until you do that.

 

[Hotty Botty]

Try breathing in and out through your nose. Mentally push past the feeling/illusion that you aren't taking in enough oxygen. Just relax and keep breathing in and out the nose. Let the heat and warmth surround you. You will start to sweat immediately. And after a little bit, you will reach a point of just pure pleasure. The point where you can feel your body sweating out all the toxins inside it, cleansing itself. It feels like pure pleasure.

I was driving while it was happening. What do you suggest?

You aren't from the south so it is not expected for you to know the small things. Full blast heat on the defrosters for like 30 seconds to a minute(longer if your car has poor air circulation) and viola. It will suck briefly but it gets rid of the inherent danger of not being able to see.
