Weather
I've been loving the weather lately. It's hot, but it's moist, so I can actually breathe! This is so awesome!
I now see why![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
votania says that damp weather dehydrates her. That was counterintuitive to me earlier, but...
Damp weather means that your body notices that oh, there is sufficient atmospheric water, so I don't have to retain all my water lest I fry. And then you sweat. And to a desert-attuned body, the amounts of water that can be dumped in that fashion are startling, and mean that you really need to have a waterbottle, or you're going to be so, so dead.
I still love it when it's like this. It's currently 95, with 34% humidity. *happysigh* If it never got any hotter than that, and it were often this damp while this warm, I'd be so, so happy.
I do think that wet, windy cold is the Anti-Good, however.

It was dry in Fairbanks, but I loved the way that the air feels softer when it's humid, like it's not scraping your skin off.
