Wow.
The humidity level sure is banging away already.
But Frank guesses he shouldn’t be all that surprised given that he is now in the middle of May. Still, walking out this day to get the mail was a big reminder that he is for real entering Summer. It was so thick and tepid outside and it was only 10 in the day. But Frank could feel the tepid humidity draped around him as though it were some sort of moist cloak that wasn’t in the drier long enough. When he walked back inside the central cooling of the lake house, it was so awesome. That’s the first time he felt that yet this year. The cooling unit is really just for spot use while in the hottest periods of the afternoon while in the Springtime. But once Frank gets to about now, the thermostat setting is left on cool and he starts to program the digital thermostat. Frank actually can deal with temperatures in the 80’s. It’s not like he wants to go just rest in the sun while in the peak heating hours of the afternoon. But he can handle the higher temps fairly well. It’s just when you add in all of that humidity that being outside becomes sweltering and smothering. This is why he is so thankful that he gets more than just cooling from the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C unit. The heat pump process is also reducing and balancing the humidity levels inside the lake house. That makes for that refreshing, crisp feeling when you walk in from being outside in the Summer. Frank appreciates that feeling.
