BeastFromTheEast Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 How in the world do you make it through summer if upper 70's and low humidity is uncomfortable? It was routinely in the 30's/40's before this warm spell. The body doesn't get used to heat just like that. It takes a little while. Yesterday and todays ~80/60 felt like a sauna for me personally coming out of the cold spring.. In the heart of summer 70's and low humidity yeah absolutely that's perfect for me.. Even during that upper 90's/100 torch last summer I ran and played pick up ball outside nearly every single day. I can "make it through" brutal summer torches just fine. I don't like em. Not one bit, but I get through them.. Pretty sweet front btw. MKE dropped from 72/52 to 47/43 the past hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Still 75 here with summer looking cumulus still floating overhead. I see it's already down to 50 in Cedar Rapids. Front about to hit DVN, so we have only another 1-2hrs of summer left before the miserable cold arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very close to closing the windows and turning on the AC earlier this evening. It's cooled off a bit now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 It feels so great having my patio door open tonight to cool off the house and bedroom (yes two to three days of warmth has heated up the house pretty thoroughly). More typical spring weather this is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have a string of days like the weekend with 60s and low/moderate humidity, but even with the averages around that neck of the woods, it usually is a yo-yo this time of year.

BowMeHunter Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 This 45 and wind chill of 36 feels brutal after 85 yesterday... at least NW WI is cold and snowy... give me that over this boring chill anytime. 73 @ KMDW...not sure what's worse lol. that's going to be a nice cheap overnight high temp there.

Amazing how you have changed, like Geos. Why would you want all your summer days in the 80s when your house heats up when it approaches 60F?

Geos Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I wouldn't want 80s every day during the summer. I like 70s and even the occasional day in the 60s during the summer. The warmer weather is welcome - don't need a high heating bill for May too. My house doesn't really start heating up until it hits the low 70s.

Wind chill of 31 at 7am so it might as well be snowing.. Picked the wrong morning to clean the caliber out to trade it in all I was saying was I don't know what would feel worse on May 2nd at 1am - a wind chill of 36 or 73 at MDW. after a day of 85 I think the wind chill of 36 is more ridiculous feeling. I'd take any and every below avg summer I can get but, 80-85 and low dews is pretty comfortable outside to do anything you want from swimming to 69'er playing pickup b-ball, etc... I have the AC on almost all summer no matter if its low 70's or 95 so split the difference and I can live no problem with low to mid 80's outside unless its swampy air.

I see and understand, I agree I would rather have the Northwoods' snow if it is going to be cooler again like it will the rest of the week. The first half of next week looks delightful at this juncture so we might have that to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
