oldtimer 13304 Posted July 16, 2019 Heat index is purely a function of humidity, and it is real. 99f plus 30% humidity is not that bad, 99f plus 70% humidity is miserable. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True but when your humidity is always high except for after a cold front the index makes little difference for our summers. We normally don't get as many high pressure systems over us as much as in Texas, hot and dry. It seems like Texas has high pressure systems alot in the summer and temps can easily get to 100 for weeks at times, with no rain of clouds. But your right humidity can make all the difference, also in really cold weather humidity makes a real difference with how cold it feels. Sometime a cold front will pass through and it feels much better but the temp stayed the same just the humidity dropped. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polizzio 644 Posted July 16, 2019 Well i just finished push mowing the lawn, weed eating, and blow clean. It was 90F and 82% humidity and it kicked my butt hard. The grass/ground is still wet/soggy from Hurricane Barry rainfall. Threatening to rain again right now, thunder as I type and heavy clouds. But its done, thankfully. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyBob 4670 Posted July 16, 2019 It's sunny and warm enough to rain. A little sticky, too. Can't complain. Tucson was 83` at 7AM... It was 68` here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WillyBob 4670 Posted July 16, 2019 we get to look forward to that kind of thing, too. We can get them from the gulf or eastern Pacific. They're just rain... that can be enough. Flood of '83 was caused by a dead hurricane. There was one last year [?] went west of us... coulda been the same all over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now to go with the pain, my arm feels like it has electricity running through it. weather is the least of my worries ... I’ll take snow right now if i could be pain free (if there is such a thing). Oh there is definitely such a thing as snow---I've even seen it personally. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill W. 63 Posted July 17, 2019 That’s funny! We live in Silverton May through October, where we operate our restaurant. Sedona is home, where we live November through April. There are about 700 year- round residents here, as my wife says, “Silverton winters are for the hearty and foolish, we are neither!” this last winter was one for the record books, well over 20 feet of snow in town, higher elevations over 50 feet! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill W. 63 Posted July 17, 2019 Silverton also has the distinction of the highest elevation installation of Jubilees, they play live and recorded music every day on the outdoor patio at the restaurant for our guests from the Durango&Silverton narrow-gauge Railroad. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
