I hear you Brother. It was like 76 last night on the way home at 0037 !!! That is NOT good for us. We really are ready for one helluva fire I'm afraid.
Where you guys are used to more heat, that is about where most up here get really uncomfortable. There's a lot of houses up here that don't even have air conditioning. About the worst we've ever had is slightly above what you guys are "cooling off" in down there.
Then again looking at my snowpack pic (around St. Patties Day) you can see why people here don't acclimate to heat.
The temps I gave is kind of a misnomer too. Those were the extreme lows here. I think it only went below zero like five times. For a snowpack like that everyone thinks all day every day is below zero. It's actually temperate for a northernmost state.

Been here since Memorial Day 2016, coming from Upstate NY where extended cold winter weather sent us skedaddling down here to the Border.
Because it's usually so dry, the heat brings less discomfort, but that's insidious. I get punchy at around 90F after about 15min; unloading the car on 100+ after supermarketing can get very exhausting, very quickly.
Heat is no joke around here; it's part of why I (still...) couldn't go out shooting this year, even after I'd completed my intensive rehab in early June, after my hospitalization several times in December and February. The frustration is tempting me to get stupid; I have to remain patient. It's been a long, hot Summer. The physical effects become cumulative, and folks get to chafing about the restrictions it places on their lives.
In Summer, there's an occasional friend who gets it wrong and gets hospitalized of heat exhaustion. They end up hurting their kidneys pretty bad. One of ours has been to the Hospital Monday, and back again Wednesday; his kidneys are bummed out and he's thoroughly dehydrated. He's coming around today. Good thing, or he might have to go back in and stay for CRRT. Celia had to be put on that in 2006 when she was in the her Coma for three weeks.

I can vouch for it being HOT! I mentioned before, heat really isn't heat, until you add that kind of humidity.
Not bad right now. Currently 81* / 33%. It was 60* this morning. When it dips into the 50's my neck will start swelling. :-D
It's all good until the 'ol lady slaps me upside the head for "rubbing" on everything...

When I went through Ranger School, I almost put my knee on a pygmy rattler. Funny, they are tiny! It was full grown and as thick as a pencil. About 12" long. I wish someone had a pic of one of them.
