The weather here this year is unusual. At this minute it is 90F with 41% humidity. That is both cooler and more humid than we usually have this time of year. We have received so much more rain this year that we have humidity that people are unaccustomed in this area. The plants love it. Mosquitoes are abundant and hungry. Normally we would have higher heat with considerably less humidity, though we'd still have some hungry mosquitoes! We tend to stay on the dry side and I'm continually wishing for rain. I think our average annual rainfall runs from 20-24" - maybe less. I believe I heard where our rainfall for 2015 has already exceeded what we received for all of 2014. We have, at least in my location, not had the usual constant wind. Frankly, I'm loving the rain and don't mind the humidity. I tend to not enjoy overly dry heat. Every time we get rain, I'm wondering how long it will be 'til the next one. The last few years have been miserably dry. Enough that the vegetation has visibly been altered. Enough old growth trees have died in the dry years that I think there has been a permanent change. 100+ is never enjoyable, but I think it would be more typical for us than what we've had so far. I'm sure it will heat up before fall.
