A high pressure weather system is over the Northwestern USA. This weekend, the temperature is up to a high of 114F, with 76% humidity. This is the highest temperature we have experienced in Vancouver, Washington.
When we lived in Red Bluff, California, the summertime temperatures were quite often over 100F in the summer, but the humidity was very low.
The house is closed up. Window shades are all drawn. We water our yard and garden as soon as it is daylight, around 5:15 am. If I walk, it is at 6 am. We do all our chores in the early morning. We try to relax, rest, read, and watch TV all afternoon. We have a couple of fans and a small one room air cooler.
Thankfully, the Federal Bonneville Dam provides our electricity, and the Columbia River our water.
Basically, sweating and uncomfortable in the afternoon and early evening hours. Very difficult to be enthusiastic or very energetic.
