The 90+ degree heat and humidity combine here in East Tennessee for a heat index of close to 100. I'm staying indoors with the AC on high and we also use the AC in the car. I can't breathe when I go outside for very long. It's like trying to breathe through a wet blanket. We also have ozone issues in this kind of heat. Stay inside as much as possible and take care everyone.

God bless you!

It's funny, because I live in Oregon too, but the Eastern side of the

state. Here it is usually very dry air, but the dang wind blows so

much I never seem to get any relief! Not alot of humidity though.

We are considered a semi-arid region and have lots of sand, dust, and

tumbleweeds! It gets to 110-115* Fahrenheit in the summer.. hottest

I've ever seen was 120*! And cold, cold in the winter. My sister

lives in Portland and has to use a dehumidifer and I live in

Pendleton and have to use a humidifer! Weird, huh?

Windy, windy, windy here! I have to stay indoors with my air

conditioning on or no breathing for me

Take care all!!

I thought high humidity (50%+) was only a problem because it made dust

mites thrive on bedding and such... So, it's not so much the humidity

that effects us as it is the dust mites being a product of the humidity.

What does it do to people with asthma outside?

Good question. I use my AC a lot when it's allergy season, and also use the

air purifiers that help. It does make a difference. What I need answered is

with having an Central AC system in my home do I need the dehumidifier as

well?

hI.

For me high humidity makes it hard to breathe, some people the cold makes it harder to breathe,, but I am oppposite,, I can breathe better if it is not too cold, below 30 degrees F. It is very humid here and the temp today was over 100,, makes 5 days straight they said and no rain,, we have not had any this month.

That's where I found a problem this am. I had a new toddler start this am and needed to grab my highchair from down there. We had a AC pump malfunction a few weeks ago and things were drying out. Well I brought up the highchair and it's damp, and bam asthma attack! I was hoping to get down there to clean so I could get these kids back down there. but there is OBVIOUSLY a mold issue, IF hubby would just listen when I tell him this stuff! Our basement if completely finished with a full kitchen full bath, one half is tiled and the other half is Berber carpet. I'm so afraid I'll have to rip out all the carpet and I don't have the funds right now to do it. UHH! I will be buying a dehumidifier for the downstairs. Thanks everyone

Nicki, I live in Florida. I moved from the NY shoreline of Lake Ontario in 2006 to here. My asthma is slightly worse here than it was in NY as far as outside environmental issues are concerned. Im allergic to pollen from most sources and something is always in bloom here. The humidity depends on where you live here I guess...we live in the Tampa Bay area so theres always humidity here for the most part. As long as I keep on my medicines I do ok, except during February when Oak is in high bloom.Get the Moviefone Toolbar. Showtimes, theaters, movie news, more!

If you have a drain in your basement, you can get a dehumidifier with

a hose attachemnt and have it drain directly into the drain. Its So

much easier than having to empty a pan every few hours.

Yeah I told my doctor Friday I can’t breathe when I go out

in the heat and humidity, and she said it is not surprising and that there is

nothing she can do except tell me to take my albuterol with me everywhere.

Not been in a really humid place since being diagnosed, but after what you have all said, a bit worried about that as I've been told it'll be really hot and humid when I go to Cuba. I have experienced humid weather before, and v hot weather, but not both at the same time... Normally in Europe it's a dry heat when it's v hot, and humid when it gets a bit cooler.
