How's the Weather Where You Are?

He said it felt like he was wrapped in plastic wearing those polyester wicking shirts. He will wear short sleeve shirts in the spring and fall, but when it gets to be too hot in the middle of summer, the sun seems to bother him more.

You may want to look at some of the newer rodeo and work wear. Cinch is a good start as is Ariat. I have not owned a blouse in 20+ years. My two Ariat are one on me and one in the wash. They have built in windshield wipers. Eye glass cleaning patches.
 
I've lived in Maine for more than 25 years now, and I think I've only seen hail here a couple of times, and those episodes were brief and produced only small hailstones. Hail is related to thunderstorms, and those tend to be brief and minimal, too. The largest hailstones I've seen were when I lived in Texas.

Must be why men wear kilts.

Ah, but kilts were once just wrap around blankets (see the movie Braveheart) and Scots and Celts apparently often went into battle naked. Also the Romans and Greeks mostly wore tunics with the wealthy Romans wearing togas. I think the women wore mostly toga-like things with nothing underneath because the people of the warm areas know how to deal with heat.

The history of dress can be quite interesting.
Undergarments were a problem if you think about dealing with toileting and long dresses or garb.
I'd hate to go to battle naked in Scotland. Too cold and too many thistles.

And just like that, it's gone. Barely a sprinkle.

That is what often happens with us as well, @John Brunner . We get the big warning alerts, and it all goes over either north or south of where we are at.
Of course, the good part about that, is that when there actually IS a really bad storm, we miss the worst part of those, too; which is a good thing. The tornadoes that come through seem to follow a similar pathway and either go above or below where we live at.

My county is rectangular and sort of straddles two weather patterns. I got a Severe Thunderstorm weather alert for my county the other day and it was sunny out. I pulled up radar and the southeastern corner was clipped by thunderstorms that follow the north/south I95 path. To the west we catch the edge stuff coming over the mountains. So it's possible that somewhere in my county is gonna get that 3" of rain I've seen bandied about...but not me.
 
IMHO, those of us a who are fortunate enough to live in a “weather bubble” and miss the worst of the storms, need to add that to the appraisal value of our properties 🤠🤠

There were some big thunderstorms with flood warnings attached, WNW of me, but I didn’t see anything except miserable humidity.

Temps stayed in high 80’s today, but I think this was still the worst air-you-can-wear day, this year.
 
Triple digits and steady winds. Tile on the patio is already too hot to go barefoot.

Several thousand households in the Oklahoma City area are still out of power. Two horse farms got hit badly during the weekend storms. Buildings and live stock:(
I learned something this morning. There are cowboys who specialize in tractor trailer accident recovery.
 
Hot but humidity is not near as oppressive as it was yesterday.

I was able to get the horses water tubs Cloroxed without passing out in the tubs😁😁

Neighbor is already here with his 3140/batwings to finish bushhogging. It has a cab but no AC - I would still love to have it😇😇
 
We have more flood warnings somewhere in the county. 3"-4" possible in some areas. Not where I live. It looks like maybe 1/10th of an inch or so, if it materializes.

I think undergarments were developed to 1) protect the wearer from contact with wool outer garments, and 2) Keep outer garments cleaner as they were usually woolen or leather, both hard to clean in the days before solvents and technology. Linen and cotteon were more comfy then wool. The Eskimos here used squirrel hide with the fur side in.
