There is nothing quite like the lift of a person's spirits when the heat and humidity drops.

The New York Times is loaded with stories about the extreme heat.

Just about everyone has had it with the heat and humidity.

I'm a big fan of rainy summer days. However, the quick downpour on Monday afternoon was a bit alarming.
