I don't enjoy humidity very much - it takes a lot out of me when I'm being active outside. I sweat a LOT, and when it's humid it doesn't evaporate well, so I overheat AND get soaked in sweat and feel grimy. It's a gross feeling. Combine that with wearing sunscreen and riding my bike, and I just collect grit and my skin gets very sensitive.
Compared to Virginia, though.. Ohio is great. If I get up early enough, I can beat the humidity.  |
Virginia is really bad, like wearing a heavy wool coat in soup.
My family visited Arlington National Cemetery a day or so after the remnants of Hurricane Bertha swept over the greater Washington, D.C. area. It was so hot and humid that my brother nearly fainted during the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Thankfully my dad caught him just as he was starting to wobble and was able to escort him out of the silent crowd before he caused a real disturbance. After drinking some water and being doused with it, he was fine.
