Day 4 - 117 -- Head-on with Humidity

Remember how I noted it was damp and cold yesterday? Today wasn't. Temperatures were in the high-teens Celsius (60s Fahrenheit) and the dampness had turned to humidity. So the feel like temp was in the mid-20sC (into 70sF). It was an abrupt entrance into summer like weather -- another aspect of spring transitioning. The office was very humid. I dislike the feeling. It is, though,  a key component of a maritime summer. <smile> Along with the humidity today was a low pressure system that brought a brisk wind and drizzle that made my hair curl like I'd stuck my finger in an electric socket <grin> -- another interesting biochemical aspect of humidity.

The day was filled with office work and meetings and ended with even more grading. Tomorrow will be devoted to the latter task only in hopes of finishing things up by end of day Saturday. Grades for graduating students are due Monday morning while the others are due the following Monday. The sooner I can finish the sooner I can move on to the summer activities of planning courses for next year and getting to research writing and further data analysis -- the fun stuff <smile>.

Humidity and low pressure brought to mind the lyrics of a silly song from the age of disco. Both meteorological concepts are found in the first few lines of the song. Have fun with this one. Enjoy!
