Let me state for the record that I love Toronto. I love the diversity, the greenspaces, the transit, the lake, downtown and uptown. I love hot dogs from the vendors outside of city hall and the fighteningly expensive yet sublime French martini at the understated Rooftop Lounge at the Park Hyatt.
I love my town.
But on days like this....well...ick.
The joys of being beside a Great Lake is that there is never any lack of moisture in the air. And when the temperature gets up there in the summer months, that translates into humidity. Right now, at 5:25 pm it's 32 degrees, 39 with the humidex -THIRTY-NINE!!!! That's 94 and 108 respectively for those south of the border.
It's pretty horrible when we're into our first of many hot and humid spells, and I have already reached the saturation point of people with weather comments. It's not even JUNE yet and I already feel like clubbing the next person who says "It's not the heat, it's the humidity".
It's going to be a loooong summer.

Remind me to point to this post when you are whinging in February....
Sounds like an average day in Virginia during the summer. 95 degrees and 100% humidity.
We don't walk to our cars, we SWIM. =)
