I hope wherever you are that the weather is as nice as it is here in the mid-Atlantic. Get outside if you can and do some gardening, yard work or trim work like I am. The weather is glorious today .... Amen

Perfect weather here in the People’s Republic of Northern Virginia.

Cut my grass plus the yards of two neighbors, took a walk without the canine, and played outside with my grandsons.

The weather gods will smite us soon, so we should squeeze out all possible enjoyment now.
 
Days of rain here in coastal NC. We, especially the dog, are going stir crazy. My wife is sure to crack the whip when the sun next shines. Glad others are accomplishing things.
 
P2B and I played tennis yesterday. It was hot, 100, but there was a 'moderate' breeze so that helped stave off my heat stroke. I haven't picked up a racket in 10 years (never played, just batted the ball about on occasion) and I beat him. So that was worth the sweat.

Don't you hate it when people say, "but it's a dry heat."

I was in 29 Palms, CA last July and 112 dry degrees with a 30 knot wind made my skin feel like it would peel off.

YES!!!! Sure, it isn't Mississippi in July but dang it is hot. We are at 4500 feet and I truly believe being 4500 feet closer to the sun should earn us some points. We played about an hour and a half and I finally called it. It wasn't overly competitive or fast paced, but I am out of shape and nigh on to 50 so......
I got in the car and looked in the mirror, I had a hat on, so my face wasn't sunburned just red as a beet.
29 palms is miserable.

I can't talk to dry heat because my visits to 29 Stumps were in Sept. I can speak to a dry cold though, which IS a thing. I'd rather be in Potdam NY (a short drive from the Canadian border) when it's 30-50 degrees BELOW zero, than i would in coastal NC when it's 20-40 above zero. The dampness really gets to me and extremely cold Temps means there is absolutely no moisture in the air. It's all frozen out.

I totally understand that. A winter in Casper, WY was brutal, but the fall and early winter in Richmond, CA were worse. The fog and damp just got into your bones when the wind came off of San Francisco Bay.
 
Currently staying in Northern VA until I report for Plebe Summer and WOW is the weather nice right now. Coming from Arizona where my standard of a hot day was anything over 107 ° F; going for a run today at 70 ° F at 50-something % humidity with rain and a breeze was REFRESHING. However in just a few days its forecasted to be in the 90's again with higher humidity.... I'll keep dreaming that this will be the weather during PS though....

Keep dreaming. July is the classic East Coast sweat box. There is nowhere for your sweat to evaporate to.

Being an Arizona kid, I can handle heat like nobodies business. Humidity on the other hand.... Time to embrace the suck!
When we have vacationed in AZ and NM in summer, I am fine with the high heat, pumping fluids, wearing the right clothes, finding shade and those wonderful misters. On the other hand 80 degree, high humidity days back here in Annapolis, where breathing feels like you have a wet washcloth taped to your face, and the sweat goes nowhere, and your fresh shower lasts all of 5 minutes, well, you dream of letting ice cubes melt in strategic places and think you can’t feel any more hot and uncomfortable. But I grew up in coastal Georgia heat and humidity, and you learn to cope.
