[> [> [> WIthout the humidity we couldn't grow the corn we do -- Lij, Saturday, August 30, 03:05:54pm (adsl-99-102-185-189.dsl.bltnin.sbcglobal.net/99.102.185.189)

The highest humidity is west between here and St Louis - over Illinois. As you go west from St Louis then the air progressively dries out (afterall Saskatchewan is north of our Great Plains - Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas). Our humidity is derived from from the Gulf of Mexico air masses coming north. Now some summers we get what is called a "blocking high pressure" over this area and that keeps those air-masses from entering the area. That is what happened in 2012 and we had our drought.

I have two box fans keeping the air moving and today the sky is cloudy. So not too bad. Should have heard about the window air-conditioner from the company by now, but no. I can live without it if they don't get it here. At least my pickup has air-conditioning, but you'd hope that once you are home for the day that you could stop sweating! Cloudy today with maybe rain. I might open the house up if it does rain and let in some fresh, rain-cooled air.
