20-25 mph southerly sauna winds, no need to buy a sauna, got a natural big one in the garden, one thing I won't be doing is walking about outside with only a postage stamp wrap around towel on (although that should have me pretty well covered )

400 plus cases in Florida, 50 something of those are pregnant women and a case about 8 miles down the rd from me...don't know if male or female..

Fortunately for me, because of my radiation treatments, I haven't been spending much time outside this summer..

Opposite than you're weather warning, we are under a flood warning.. Hope things work out good for you, at least the humidity in your conditions are better than dry heat..

Another nasty developing...lack of ground water is starting to effect our water well
We have our own well with being out in the sticks, it's classed as a shallow well at 30-35 feet deep
Nothing desperate as yet but an occasional air bubble spluttering through the system when a tap is turned on is not a good sign.

Don't want to reduce showers while in this high humidity weather conditions but it may mean we have dirty experiences
