Just to confirm. Is 2024's Summer going to be hotter than 2023? Is it going to be very long weeks of heatwaves with nights being impossible to sleep through?

What's it looking like for this year? A repeat of 2023's Heatwaves? Or is 2024 going to be less hotter?

My theory is that June 2024 is going to be a very warm month. Will it be as insane as last year's blast of heat? Well... I want to say no but I also think this summer is going to be too warm for some. I know many have already complained about the small heatwave that's happening now. To those I say that it's not that bad. You only need to tolerate it for a weekend now. Either way, I think we are all too sensitive. Maybe not all. I just think heat isn't that bad. It's the humidity that you are actually complaining about. Because the human body can't function properly when the humidity changes. It's just proof that we weren't built for this weather.

I'm not against this heatwave. I think it's a perfect balance as it allows nights to be cooler where it's possible to sleep. I'll admit that you will require an AC Unit or potentially just open your window. The only downside to opening the window is that it allows spiders & so many other bugs to enter your home. Once again, I've noticed that fleas are dominating the world. I've seen it become widespread news that fleas are seriously becoming more of an invasive species. Thankfully, I don't have to deal with fleas but just because you don't have any animals doesn't mean you are free from them. When you walk outside, you may potentially gather fleas on your shoes. It's too late to do anything about this creature. It's honestly just annoying that they strive when it's super hot or even when the humidity changes...

Update: I've recently read an article that mentions that due to this strange weather, etc. Seasons may last longer. This means that the transition of autumn may last longer than usual. Meaning we will see the autumn colors for much longer & the transition will be very noticeable. I really love this! :')

If this lasts another week... ;-;

Update: Ugh... This humidity is lasting longer than a week. I've just checked several regions & it looks like the humidity is here to stay for a while... -_-

Update: Yesterday's heat was uncomfortable & overall unpleasant. Last night's weather conditions were also uncomfortable & really unpleasant. To put this into perspective- I didn't sleep very well at all. In fact- due to this unforgiving heatwave- I've not been able to sleep well for days. I'm surprised I'm not sick by now. Today's weather is honestly irritating. The fact the temperatures have fallen is beautiful. Once again, there's the same problem back in August... The same problem that won't go away. Has anyone else noticed that the humidity just won't disappear... It's continuously holding onto the world. This is why I fear another heatwave this year... Because if there is one. The humidity will once again make the weather uncomfortable & unpleasant. I'm so sick of sweating over & over again. Even after a shower, it's shortlived. The relief just isn't there. Aircon isn't enough. Fans aren't enough. Ice isn't enough. I'm so sick of this weather... I'm sorry but I am. September is not Summer & neither should it ever be. Give us the seasons we want most... Summer lovers have already had their summer... -_-

Update: Morning was very quickly in transitioning into the humid weather we all "love" so much! Daytime was just building up to the dry air & lack of any cold breeze. Evening was like the warmth was trying to kill us all. Night seems to be okay... There's a very low breeze that you can barely feel at all. I can't sleep in these conditions but I know someone who literally slept in their blanket during July 2022... -_-

Update: I feel sorry for those including myself who have complained about today's humidity & weather... Because the weekend looks to be the worst by far! ;-;

Update: I think I can safely say that today is worse than yesterday. I noticed that the humidity rises so quickly within an hour of the sun rising for morning... The heat then begins to build upon itself. Within the first few hours. The heat & humidity has worked together to bring us that unbearable warmth with dry air & no breeze. The fact that this has been staying consistent is irritating... I honestly hope that this is the final heatwave this year. If this happens again in the next month or within September... -_- [Edit:] Also enjoy your weekend everyone. Because once again the heatwave has waited especially for your days off to make the worst possible. It says that the hottest days will be Saturday & Sunday... -_-

Update: The discussion around Wednesday being the warmest day worried me at first. Maybe "worried" isn't the correct wording. Well, I know one thing for certain... The humidity has returned as it's climbed higher once again! Not only has it climbed higher... The dry air has once again returned when we had thought that was the last of it back in August... It's frustrating in all honesty. There's been hopeful moments that just didn't happen... We were once all excited for the end of August because it was revealing hopeful cooler weather. Hurricane happens elsewhere leading to most of the world getting a heatwave... The fact it's happening in September is the part that most people are frustrated with. According to the weather sources- This may very well occurr again in October-November. There's even the slight chance that our January weather could be changed to a warmer climate... If there's another heatwave after this one... I can see many Heat Haters being at their limit with this weather. This year has been so annoying in all honesty. Last year was also irritating so don't be surprised there. Next year will very much be the same. But there's some messages going around about next year being cooler. I honestly don't believe any hopeful sources that mention heat dispersing... It's not happening & I'm not surprised that this heatwave is lasting almost a week... We're still not out of the heatwave by next week anyway. There's confirmation that next week has higher humidity too. So while the temperatures may be falling lower to give you all some hope. I wouldn't get too excited. It still looks to be miserable & uncomfortable. There's even mention of tropical storms which will introduce very light breeze that won't even be felt. There's always the possibility too that next week could just become an extending heatwave... The fear that most people have right now is what comes after next week... My mind is telling me that another heatwave is on the cards... -_-

Where did this heatwave even come from?

Update: Today was interesting... The morning started like an almost winter-like morning. There was a very cold breeze & then it slowly faded as the blue sky started to show up after sunrise. After not even an hour had passed... The temperature climbed up higher & higher. The breeze I once felt was now dry air once again... The humidity wasn't too unbearable but it did cause me to feel tired & exhausted. I fallen asleep & I then woke up covered in sweat... So... It's once again me feeling irritated because what happened? Well... Summer certainly hasn't gone away... The season has changed & we're in September. It started out promising for us Heat Haters... It then changed & became an uncomfortable wave of heat that made feel sick... Ugh... Can we please just say goodbye to this stupid weather... I'm so sick of it!

Air conditioning is something that will need to be more accessible. As of right now, it does look to be advertised more. I'm starting to think that there will be a shift in many things.

Update: Stupid fleas taking full advantage of this humidity. All pests have been so much more annoying this year! At first I thought maybe the humidity & heat was bad enough... But now it's fleas becoming the main problem... -_-

I can't sleep tonight xD Update: Tonight looks to be staying consistent with what I mentioned previously. Those who were hopeful for less humidity will be left disappointed... Tonight's humidity will climb to 98% once again... This will last through the night. After the night... the humidity will lower to 75% which will then become higher as the day goes by... So, it's not looking good. It's starting to look exactly how I predicted it would be... Humidity reaching higher levels & will continue to stick around into October most likely. It's difficult to know for certain. I honestly think tonight is the warmest day. The annoying part is that outside it's relatively cold during the night. Not too cold but it's cooler. Then there's no breeze which means no cooler air... I'm surprised anyone can sleep tonight...

Update: Another high humidity & very warm dry air night... -_-

Exactly! Humidity doesn't help anyone. It's also very dangerous for our health. Another skin situation that it causes is dry skin. High humidity can cause skin to become very dry. As for making the skin oily- It can most definitely achieve that too. Humidity is also the reason why many of us are drinking more than usual. It's another reason why we are drinking so much water or any liquids. You may also notice that you're feeling hungry more often & that's because of the humidity too. The dry air is terrible to walk in. You may even have trouble breathing. I know some people with asthma (I hope that's right) who are struggling to breathe because thair is to dense & dry. It's scary when you think that this is only going to get worse as the years go by... ;-;

As much as I'd love for that to be true. I can't believe it right now. I'm sorry... the weather has been very unpredictable. We weren't supposed to have any heatwave in August. It then happened. We weren't supposed to have heat this week but it still happened. The humidity continues to climb from 40% - 98% & believe me... I don't see the humidity disappearing until October at the latest. I think September will bring more humidity & may even result in another 1-2 weeks of this type of atmosphere. I don't mean to be negative as I'd like to be hopeful. However, I've been let down too much this year. As for tomorrow... I think tomorrow will change... Let's also consider the fact that every weekend has resulted in higher humidity. I don't know why Saturday & Sunday continue to be the hottest days. It's annoying when you think about how it's almost bearable for a week & then on your days off work / school- whatever. It then gets uncomfortable... -_-

It really does! Brings out the worst of everything. You can't enjoy the sunlight becuse the humidity combined with it just makes it feel too unbearable. At night it's the worst... I want to sleep without sweating. I want to sleep with blankets over me... I can't even do that because the humidity with dry air... no breeze... Ughhhh! -_-

Update: The lack of a breeze is making this day worse... I'm now feeling sick again. You can't lay / work / study without sweating. Moving around doesn't keep you cooler for as long as you wish for it to. Most work involves less movement anyway. Standing around is usually what most work consists of... Sitting too. Anyway, the window is open & there's no breeze. The humidity is so warm it's like tropical weather. Considering that we had a whole month of this type of weather back in June & there were a few days like it during July. August is already annoying me. I've become sick & tired of this weather now. Give us a break already! It's difficult to focus. It's difficult to enjoy doing things without sweating every few minutes. The part that really annoys me is having to keep changing clothes because within a few minutes... You begin to sweat. A/C isn't doing much in all honesty. It keeps it cooler for a while but eventually... The heat gets you. I'm so bored of this weather now... I just want to enjoy doing things again. I want to be able to move around without having to worry about sweating... Tropical weather is not fun & this humidity has outstayed its welcome as far as I'm concerned. Give us a break already! -_- [Edit:] As a bonus to what makes humidity even more annoying is that it brings out all the pests outside. Fleas love high humidity & that's why there's been so much more of them recently... I'm just bored of this weather... So bored...

Update: Another day into the inferno... Honestly speaking, today isn't as bad as yesterday. The humidity yesterday was unbearable. Especially during the night... There was no breeze. Today is similar with a very light breeze making it less unbearable. The temperature in places is much warmer though. So... I guess we will see what tomorrow brings. I just hope tonight is cold. [Edit:] As the day progresses forwards... I'm starting to think that it's warmer than I thought. The breeze is not great. Yesterday was worse but today is just similar... ugh....

Update: The most irritating part of this humidity is when you change your shirt / clothes... You sweat within 5 minutes or maybe less. Either way, you sweat & then you feel uncomfortable. Taking a shower does not solve this problem. It will refresh you for an hour at most. Then the humidity will warm you up combined with your body temperature. I agree that it's not as bad as it was in June. It's still uncomfortable at night... ;-;

I agree! Last night was horrible! The fact there was no breeze is what made it so much worse... I didn't sleep well at all I have a seriously bad headache from this weather... I'm staying hydrated too! I've noticed this weather makes me buy groceries more... Ughhhh... I'm not sure when this will end ;-;
