It has been one year and a week since my last post. I guess I'm really not into blogging as much as I'm into being a couch potato :P
It is summer now, well mostly in the northern hemisphere. It's been hot these few days, especially in the U.S. It says on the news the heat wave is attacking a large part of the nation, especially in the central northern region like Minnesota & Illinois. Can u believe in some parts up there the highest temperature rises up to 110F (@ 43 C)? What is worse is that the humidity level records a staggering 90-%, and trust me, that is bad. The ideal humidity level should be around 45% to help balance our body temperature. I learned something the other day that if the humidity (relative humidity to be exact) is too high, meaning the ratio of moist air to dry air is high, the moist from our skin will be not be evaporated as much, and our body tends to stay warm and that is not pleasant! Soon enough, if this pattern persists, we'll get hyperthermia. Many people have died from this recently.
However, things get better though. Yesterday it rained for a while, then it stayed windy and cloudy until this morning when it got really sunny. When I am writing this very sentence, it's cloudy again! I guess it'll probably rain a little.
Oh and I have this awesome website to those who wants to be updated with weather report. You can actually view the entire nation's current weather.
