 |
|
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a HUGE increase in the humidity in the past few days.
Yes, I'm from Toronto, and I guess it's still a little hard for me to get used to. (It took a while in the summer when I arrived here, but it might take a while to get readjusted after our wonderfully dry winter --- where clothes would try in a matter of hours!). |

hm i have switched from my richer moisturizer to a lighter one these past few days.. dunno if its b/c of humidity or if its just b/c my face feels dirty with all the dust >_>
your clothes dried in a few hours in the freezing cold?? mine took much longer to dry >_> It would freeze over and slowly dry during the day.. took maybe 2-3 days for laundry to dry for me. |

Haha I'm from Alabama, so I think I've developed an ability to hyperabsorb the humidity and turn it into awesome.
"Awesome" as in I hope I brought enough deoderant to last me. |

| Yes. It blew in at exactly 1:30am on Thursday morning. Really odd! It's like the seasons decided to change immediately. I was up and heard the wind start whistling for a minute... very high wind. Then bam... like a switch, it happened. More humid. Hotter. |

You've already experienced the summer? Then maybe you'll be okay. The real humidity will get here once the weather spikes, too.
It wont be fun. |

I can't feel it but I've seen evidence of it.
Our bathroom is no longer drying itself and we have to use a fan to keep it from molding over. My laundry takes 36 hours to dry (in the kitchen) instead of 18. |

We all know Toronto is the center of the universe.
You're in a FOREIGN country, get used to it! |

| This is nothing. Wait til it's hot and humid and your armpits soaks as soon as you walk out the door. |

Yeah, I got here just in time for the monsoon season (July). I'm not complaining, just wondering if other people noticed the sudden change. I guess Toronto is fairly stable when it comes to seasons changing . . . I've never experienced such decisive seasonal changes before. |

| I definitely noticed it. Before the mornings were hovering around zero degrees and I was wearing a wool overcoat. Now just long sleeve sweatshirt. It's nice but I would have preferred a gradual descent. This sudden increase just means our bloodsucking friends will return sooner. |

The humidity is noticeable but, I wouldn't say it's insane.......... yet.
Really, really dreading the arrival of the mosquitoes though. |

My coteacher says its supposed to get cold again.. the weather is here is like back home (georgia).. goes up a lot, then down some... then up a lot again, then down some again.. and opposite when it got colder.
Instead of the bloodsucking ones, the annoying flies are around again today >< there's a ton of them today b/c everyone has their windows open |

You talking about the really big flies??? They always freak me out when they fly into the classroom. Reminds me of a bee... |

I've seen seasons change like the flip of a switch here before. A couple years ago I felt summer turn to fall when I was swimming in the ocean and a cold current came in.
This change so far is nothing insane, and I come from a much drier climate than Toronto. |
