alright im sick of hearing these yankee born snow bunny announcers talk about this "heat" that these athletes are experiencing in athens.
Right now theyre babbling about the mens marathon and how the weather conditions are tough. Ofcourse its a marathon any conditions are tough, but we're talkin 83 degrees with 43% humidity. FORTY THREE PERCENT humidity. It'll be 70 degrees by nightfall, with 43% humidity. THATS JACKET weather.
We're talkin low 80s, with relatively no humidity, with a nice constant mediterranean wind. I've spent many many months in greece, and believe me, the weather is ing paradise.
Anyone whos done sports knows, it isnt the heat that kills you, its the humidity. It dehydrates you, and thats what causes you to overheat, not the dinky 83 deg. temperature. That just 5 degrees off from the average household A/C.
I think too many people take low humidity for granted, especially northerners. They think if its 90 deg. with 30% humidity, its "hot", just because 90 deg. is a high #. Even 100 deg. isnt , unless you got the humidity.
As I post this:
Phoenix Arizona - 86 degrees. with 22% humidity = AINT
Cairo Egypt - 92 degrees, 42% humidity = AINT
Athens Greece - 83 deg. 43% humidity = AINT
Houston, Texas - 84 degrees - 77% humidity =
we see that kind of humidity everyday, with temps at 94+ average in august. You cant walk 10 feet without your balls sweatin. Take a hot shower, and stay in there after, thats literally, what it feels like.
ill take dry heat any day over humidity |

| People who live in these conditions don't care, they're used to it. But when it gets a little more humid than normal in places...people can't stand it. Then again, people are always complaining about the weather. |

well, thats the thing, nobody really gets used to it, you pretty much cope. Its very hard to get used to stinking 20 min. after every shower, unless you work outdoors.
Eitherway, Its a huge issue in this town, and its the FIRST thing out of towners mention when they visit. |
