I was living and working in NYC during the terrible heat wave of, I think, 1978, when we had a string of more than a week of days over 100 degrees and humidity in the 80s and 90s. My apartment did not have air conditioning. (One of the times when having enough money to overnight in an air conditioner from the midwest, since there were none available on the East Coast, would for sure have made me happier! <g>). The only way I could sleep at all was to lie naked on the bed with two fans blowing air over my body. I changed my sheets every day since by morning they were soaked with sweat.

But I was younger then. <g>

I was living in Wisconsin until I was 33 years old, but we actually had some days that were more miserable than the average August day here on the Texas coast. We almost always have at least a 15 MPH S.E. breeze caused by heating over the land. In Wi. when it got over 100 it seemed that the air was always still, but a least you were certain that it wouldn't last 6 months like it does here.
