I love Summer weather ...
NOT
The dew point in St Louis is now 78* Saturday and Sunday evenings when I got home from my rides (dew point was 73*) I was just as wet as I would have been had I ridden for two hours in a pouring rain storm. This really isn't much fun. Maybe I won't go for a ride today, except that tomorrow is probably going to be very similar...

You know, every August I get this weird pleasure in going out for a half dozen or so afternoon/evening rides in 95 plus degree weather just to say I did. Otherwise, I focus on early AM.

I rode six times . . .
. . .in the past 8 days and go rained on three of those time. It's not so bad if you're actually riding in a pouring rain--once you're wet, you're wet, and the rain washes off the road grime and keeps you cool. But then it STOPS raining--and you start to sweat on the wet clothes and all the grime on the road just sticks to the bike . . . $%#@&!!!

Tulsa
This morning as I rolled out of the garage at 4:15AM for my usual 2 hrs - it was 85 degrees.
When I got back it had dropped to 82. The high is forecast to be 103 today.

It beats snow and temps in the teens...so these days I am getting out 2 x a day. I drink plenty of water and any ride is better than no ride.

Pretty sure I'd rather be hot & wet then cold & wet.
Temps in the high 80s with high humidity beats the pants off of 40 degrees and raining. (I actually much prefer temps in the 20s or 30s with snow to temps in the 40s & 50s with rain)

Welcome to 5 months of our year down here in Houston. At least we have a tropical storm today and it is cooler. Need to convince my wife to drive out to a local town west of here to pick me up. Good tail wind ride.
Honestly, the storm is a non-event so far. Barely raining and very little wind.

What is a dew point? J/K!
I pray for moisture on rides! I can't remember the last time I actually saw a rain drop in Denver. We need it bad! We're less than 4 inches for the year so far.

Stinkin' hot in KC as well. That's why I am moving to Tucson; lower summer temp index and lack of hail/sleet/snow/tornadoes/ice/torrential rains and anything I missed that the charming Mid-Worst has in spades.
July and August in Tucson are known as "monsoon season". They have on average 2" of rain for each of those months; last week it rained 6" overnight here. One more winter.. Scott

About 55 when I went for my AM ride at 8:00, about 65 when I got home at 9:30, humidity about 20%. Dang I hate it when that happens!
