Here in Arizona you're not allowed to complain about the heat unless its over 115F. Since the HI is 116F in your neck of the country I guess a little whinning is OK.

I laugh in your general direction. You want muggy - try growing up in South Florida right next to the Everglades. 7:00 AM, 85 degrees, and 90% humidity. You break a sweat opening the car door getting out at football practice. In the summer, it will usually "only" reach 98-99, but the humidity stays right there at 80% plus. Even the boars hide.

BTW, happy birthday Cobra!

I grew up in Mobile and I think the humidity is actually worse here in B'ham. It was 75 degrees this morning at 5:45 A.M.

I remember the first time I felt the Birmingham heat and humidity so many years ago... but then again I was young and despite it I used to cycle those lovely hills (my relatives lived in the Vestavia area in Birmingham) every morning and then go for a swimm in country club...
