    I was raised in that humidity and just plain didn't know you weren't suppose to be soaking wet from sweat all the time till I moved west, now I will not hardly go back and visit. lol
    Back years ago with no air in the trucks, I slept many a night either on or under the trailer.

    It was humid in GA today. Driving through Waycross it was spitting rain and hardly a cloud in the sky. Thought I had blown a hose until I saw others using their wipers as well. Lol.
    Weather radio said it was a heat index of 105. I call BS on the whole heat index thing. Just tell me the temperature and I will decide how hot I feel.
     
    Midwest Trucker and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    I think you get used to it or something. It doesn't really bother me too much, some days it kinda sucks but overall not too bad. The days I get a truck with no AC I tend to notice it a lil more.
