Yeah, it’s just blazing hot there but at least when the sun goes away you get some relief, the humidity sticks around even at night haha I’m originally from South Jersey where the humidity is just as bad for about 2 months out of the year, so I’m used to it, but at least there’s the occasional reprieve up there. Here, it’s just relentlessly humid. At least I live right next to Biscayne Bay and there’s always a 10-20 mph breeze, so it’s not just still humidity like it is back home in NJ. Both places are essentially built on swamps. If you look at a map of South Florida it’s literally just the east and west coast that are populated (spanning maybe 20-30 miles inland) with the entire center taken up by the Everglades.
I live in a new apartment building and I forgot to turn on my AC last night (thanks Ambien!), when I woke up it was 74 in my apartment but 70% humidity 🥵 I’ve never seen it below 50% in here, even in January or February when the temp drops down to the 70s. I’ve had my dehumidifier running for about 1.5 hours and it’s 57% in here now. It’s 12:30 PM right now and it’s 70% RH with a 76 degree dew point and a temp of 88F, feels like 100F.
