Here in the south, it's of course always pretty hot in the summer, this year they've been giving us "heat advisories" saying the temps are going to be up to 110 degrees, for the last 2 weeks or so. And yes, it's been pretty darn hot, but it is the middle of the summer. But the weather app for the next week also says it's going to be in the high 80's (on cloudy/rainy days) to upper 90's on sunny days, and of course it's usually pretty humid also, because you know it's the south.
Today temp for my area is ... low 75 degrees & the high 93 degrees, with humidity being actually pretty darn good today (right now) at 53%, "feel like temp" is 103 degrees.
I've also noticed that the "air quality" numbers have been getting higher than usual. Right now, it says it's at 60, which they consider as moderate, usually it's half that. This is what the app says for health info & primary pollutant on air quality/particle pollution:
"Health Information"
"Air quality is acceptable; however, pollution in this range may pose a moderate health concern for a very small number of individuals. People who are unusually sensitive to ozone or particle pollution may experience respiratory symptoms."
"Primary Pollutant"
"PM particles are small enough to enter the bloodstream and typically result from wildfires, smokestacks, bacteria, or small dust particles."
