Australia here. Not summer yet.
Is it just my area or has this been an insanely humid summer?

Did your recent summer feel more humid than usual?
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Yes. It’s called “climate change”.
Sorry to be blunt, but it’s only going to get worse.
TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Climate change? Never heard of it

East Germany here. Ridiculously hot and humid.
foggy@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I live in a mountainous region.
The other day it was hot and humid.
So humid I could t see the mountains through the haze.
No clouds. Just an actual sea in the sky obscuring the mountains less than 20 miles away.

Norway, here. Normal humidity but extremely hot.
TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
How many degrees higher than usual on average would you guess?
neidu3@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
5ish C. It’s normally in the 20s.30+ is rare. It’s been 30+ for over a week now.

Icelandic here. Still no summer.
Just kidding, it was Tuesday last week.

Both heat and humidity. It feels like I went directly from heat to air conditioning with less than a week in between. Today is finally decent weather to turn it off and open windows but it might be only the second time this summer.
It doesn’t seem all that many years ago that I objected to air conditioning on the grounds that it is expensive and you only need it a couple weeks of the year. But now it’s hard to see living without it where I am
ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 5 weeks ago
It was 81 degrees (27 for the rest of the world) out this morning on my drive to work before 0700. I didn’t have air conditioning growing up so maybe my memories are skewed but it seems way hotter now than it was in the 80s/90s (Captain Planet warned me about this).

And a superhero would never mislead you !
(At least that was true before The Boys showed a much more negative picture of superheroes)

UK here it’s not raining but it’s 100% wetter this year
comrade_twisty@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
German speaker here, we call weather Wetter for a reason.
letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Im in east TN. It’s always humid here but this year seems worse. And we’ve had lots of heat warnings. Hottest year on record, just like last year, and the year before that. etc…
Cris_Color@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
North Carolina here, there’s definitely been a fuckton of rain thusfar
marighost@piefed.social 5 weeks ago
That tropical storm sure didn't do us any favors...
AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
Oregon here, it has seemed oddly humid feeling to me personally. I’m super sensitive to humidity and heat though.
It isn’t like the south, but definitely more than I recall historically.
It rained today randomly so that doesn’t help either.
Asafum@feddit.nl 5 weeks ago
I’ve been keeping track of the heat index because I work in a factory with no AC, with the high humidity we’ve had 7 days already over 100°F… 109°F being the highest. Consistently over 90°F though pretty much every day…
Thankfully this week the humidity finally dropped a bit!
LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com 5 weeks ago
Extremely humid in the Midwest right now
whaleross@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Not here in Sweden. We have warnings and drought in several areas of the country because there has been less sky water than usual.
misericordiae@literature.cafe 5 weeks ago
Consistently much more humid where I am, yeah. Also milder so far, which is nice after last year’s multi-100+ heatwaves. (I’ve probably just jinxed my weather, great.)
zxqwas@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
No, about normal summer assuming this is the last week of hot weather (forecast says so).
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
I’m in the desert so I can’t comment because my environment is biased towards being dry anyway.
match@pawb.social 5 weeks ago
I’m in what should be a desert and it’s been breaching 90% humidity for weeks
frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 5 weeks ago
I live in the UK, so summers being humid are just the default here lol
hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 5 weeks ago
korea here. has rained like crazy for the last few weeks
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Here for sure yeah. But that’s cause fire season is getting a late start
Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
For Toronto and GTA I feel it has been opposite for us. We had 5-6 super humid days. But this summer, there’s been less humidity even though it’s been really super hot. Weird times.
confuser@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
Idk if op is in the us or not but there was a hurricane in Texas recently and apparently hurricanes will suck water from clear across the country so this summer was uncharacteristically hot, idk about the humidity, maybe the hurricane is pushing water back this way too.
Icantdraw@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
Polish here and yeah. A lot of soft rain coupled with high temperatures.
slazer2au@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
No different then usual. Summer will be summer and people forget how terrible summer is every year.

Switzerland: I don’t have any data but it seems way more humid than normal.
gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks ago
If temperatures are higher globally, i guess this implies they’re also higher above the ocean, which makes more water evaporate, so there’s more rainfall on the land-side. it is logical that there’s more rain then, and also more humid air, above the land.

UK: Had 3 heatwaves this year so far. And it’s always humid :-(
starlinguk@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
South Western Germany (which usually is the sunniest and driest part of Germany): one heatwave, muggy as hell.
