Here in the deep south it is often said that we don't have seasons. We don't have a true four seasons. We may get a couple of weeks of respite in the spring and fall time of the year, but as far as temperature goes, nature knows only two speeds here - hot and cold. Well, that is true for parts of the south, other parts it is just one speed - hot.
I grew up here accustomed to the heat and the high humidity. That is something we have that other hot areas, such as dry desert areas lack - the humidity, and boy is it humid! The air can be so heavy that it feels like trying to breathe a blanket. I am not so used to it anymore, even though I have continued to live in the south. Air conditioning has spoiled me and since I work indoors, I just don't spend a lot of time outside, as in necessary to become accustomed to it.
The temperature set in either hot or cold and then goes up and down like a yo-yo and as soon as the yo-yo stops you know that the current state is there to stay. It is June and as usualy got hot all of a sudden and it will stay that way and get only worse in July and August. I always wondered how the Latins, such as Latin Americans have such a repuation for passion and it is said that in warm temperatures live warm, passionate people. I just don't understand it. It is too hot to be passionate. Who can cuddle in 98 degree whether?
