Sunny, bright and hazy, no wind and comfortable (@18C = 64F)

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

69F here in Naperville at the moment, down from 70 45 minutes ago. I'm keeping the AC on for the humidity.

Flooding happening to the north of me, but I'm not hearing about any here. However, what comes down there must come down here. (Well, actually, I don't think the DuPage River extends as far north as where the heavy rain was, so maybe we won't get any. Aurora probably will in a day or two, though.)

Oh my, what a difference with the 15°C here! I'm even thinking of putting the heating back on again...

Yuck indeed.

Some people in my position might turn off the AC and open the windows. But I think I'll keep it on until the weekend when the high is supposed to be what it is right now, low-mid 70s.

I've got the cooler on high and I have 3 windows open, it was 104°F / 40°C today too, plus it was for the desert, a hot and humid day.

Why not put the cooler on low and close the windows?

The Chicago office of the NWS posted this on Facebook tonight:

Fog is possible overnight and it could be dense. There is a possibility of strong to severe thunderstorms Thursday afternoon, due to another upper level disturbance moving through the area. High temperatures are expected to be in the mid to upper 80s with dew points in the upper 60s to near 70. Heavy rain could accompany the storms, but the storms should be moving relatively quick, so big amounts of rainfall are unlikely. Although it may not take much to worsen the conditions.

There will of course be two trains coming through that I want to see tomorrow.

The cooler is not an air conditioner, it's a swamp cooler, this type of cooling uses water to wet pads, that a blower pulls heated air through, the air is cooled by the water in the pads and is blown into the house and so needs at least one window open, works really good when it's dry outside and not humid outside, the the cooler is on low cool when it's not too humid outside, when the humidity is higher then the cooler is on high cool for the breeze and air flow, which means more windows need to be open.

Wet, cool and miserable here today with more of the same forecasted for the rest of the week here, 11C today so actually it was warm compared to earlier in the week.

Cheers.

One more day of working through this heat and humidity.
85f and just sticky as can be. Makes for a very long workweek. Wears you down after a while.
