I always wanted to live somewhere where the humidity was low, where I'm
at it can be 75-80% RH outside. So if I don't use the dehumidifier, the
basement ends up right around 65 but can go alot higher.
I lived in Missouri and after taking a shower, I'd put my uniform on
and as soon as I walked out of the house it would be soaked ~ It was
much worse there. When I was in San Antonio, I'd get up at 5AM to run
PT and it would be hot, but I wouldn't sweat.
Strange differences!
Have a great day wherever you are Weatherman!
