Is it just my area or has this been an insanely humid summer?

Icelandic here. Still no summer.

Just kidding, it was Tuesday last week.

I live in the UK, so summers being humid are just the default here lol

korea here. has rained like crazy for the last few weeks

Here for sure yeah. But that's cause fire season is getting a late start

UK: Had 3 heatwaves this year so far. And it's always humid :-(

South Western Germany (which usually is the sunniest and driest part of Germany): one heatwave, muggy as hell.

Australia here. Not summer yet.

Did your recent summer feel more humid than usual?

Yes. It’s called “climate change”.

Sorry to be blunt, but it’s only going to get worse.

Climate change? Never heard of it

East Germany here. Ridiculously hot and humid.

Norway, here. Normal humidity but extremely hot.

How many degrees higher than usual on average would you guess?
- 5ish C. It's normally in the 20s.30+ is rare. It's been 30+ for over a week now.
It's actually been dry, especially in Mid-Norway.
- Vestlandet, her

Mid-Atlantic US here and idk if its really been more humid this year than it has historically, but I've definitely felt its been uncharacteristically humid recently

UK here it's not raining but it's 100% wetter this year

German speaker here, we call weather Wetter for a reason.

Both heat and humidity. It feels like I went directly from heat to air conditioning with less than a week in between. Today is finally decent weather to turn it off and open windows but it might be only the second time this summer.

It doesn’t seem all that many years ago that I objected to air conditioning on the grounds that it is expensive and you only need it a couple weeks of the year. But now it’s hard to see living without it where I am

It was 81 degrees (27 for the rest of the world) out this morning on my drive to work before 0700. I didn't have air conditioning growing up so maybe my memories are skewed but it seems way hotter now than it was in the 80s/90s (Captain Planet warned me about this).
- And a superhero would never mislead you !
  (At least that was true before The Boys showed a much more negative picture of superheroes)

Extremely humid in the Midwest right now

North Carolina here, there's definitely been a fuckton of rain thusfar, and humidity to go with it

That tropical storm sure didn't do us any favors...

Im in east TN. It's always humid here but this year seems worse. And we've had lots of heat warnings. Hottest year on record, just like last year, and the year before that. etc...

Oregon here, it has seemed oddly humid feeling to me personally. I'm super sensitive to humidity and heat though.

It isn't like the south, but definitely more than I recall historically.

It rained today randomly so that doesn't help either.

I've been keeping track of the heat index because I work in a factory with no AC, with the high humidity we've had 7 days already over 100°F... 109°F being the highest. Consistently over 90°F though pretty much every day...

Thankfully this week the humidity finally dropped a bit!

Consistently much more humid where I am, yeah. Also milder so far, which is nice after last year's multi-100+ heatwaves. (I've probably just jinxed my weather, great.)

Not here in Sweden. We have warnings and drought in several areas of the country because there has been less sky water than usual this entire year.

I'm in the desert so I can't comment because my environment is biased towards being dry anyway.

I'm in what should be a desert and it's been breaching 90% humidity for weeks

No, about normal summer assuming this is the last week of hot weather (forecast says so).

For Toronto and GTA I feel it has been opposite for us. We had 5-6 super humid days. But this summer, there’s been less humidity even though it’s been really super hot. Weird times.

Switzerland: I don't have any data but it seems way more humid than normal.

No different then usual. Summer will be summer and people forget how terrible summer is every year.

Polish here and yeah. A lot of soft rain coupled with high temperatures.

Idk if op is in the us or not but there was a hurricane in Texas recently and apparently hurricanes will suck water from clear across the country so this summer was uncharacteristically hot, idk about the humidity, maybe the hurricane is pushing water back this way too.

If temperatures are higher globally, i guess this implies they're also higher above the ocean, which makes more water evaporate, so there's more rainfall on the land-side. it is logical that there's more rain then, and also more humid air, above the land.

i guess droughts are not so much caused by climate change, but by the rectification of rivers, which makes water flow faster towards the sea, which acts like a drainage system. so, it's a domestic problem (rectification of rivers), not a global problem (climate change).
