It was overcast today but quite warm, a bit windy and well on the way to 30 degrees in Melbourne.
The weather channel said our home area would be cloudy with rain developing. By the time I got home this evening it was hot and horribly humid. It's overcast but not a drop of rain. It's 27 degrees inside the house and the evaporative cooling is useless with this humidity. We've waited for the outside temperature to come down to something closer to what's inside so we could turn on the fan of the evaporative cooler and at least move some air around. What a relief.
We do much prefer our evaporative cooling to refrigerated cooling. We can leave a couple of windows or doors open and the air feels much fresher and less artificial. In Melbourne we had maybe 4-6 days each Summer that were too humid for the evaporative cooling to be effective. Here in Central Victoria it usually only happens once or twice each Summer, if at all. This year, although we've had so few really hot days, we've had several days of extreme humidity. I think I'd trade the humid 30 for a dry 40!
