Extremely unlikely, but that would be cool if it did! The lowest I ever saw was a 66 on someone's wrist watch thermometer once during a typhoon, but a meteorologist I know in Guam said that was pretty much impossible - it never drops below 70 around here.

Theoretically it only gets up to about 86-89, but in heavily developed areas my car's temp. sensor has read up to 99.
We're actually in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most "equitable" temperature on Earth - meaning the least seasonal and daily change. There are seasonal differences, though, I think primarily related to humidity and wind. In the winter it's relatively dry and breezy - very nice. In the summer it can get super-humid and still, and then it feels terrible.
I used to hate the heat, too, but I've gotten used to it. Now I can't stand the cold. :dunno:

^^ My sister and I were in North Miss. this past weekend; one evening it was in the 30's. She remarked how her toleration of cold had changed from living in New Orleans for the past twenty-seven years. I think you do become acclimated. I mean, we grew up tolerating those cold winters.
You also become acclimated to humidity. Whenever I visit my home of Denver, CO, I feel like I'm drying up - my hands crack, I get nose bleeds, chapped lips, etc. Humid air feels so good to me now. It used to make me feel sick.

I can't stand moderate or high heat with high humidity, but my skin also cracks in cold weather with low humidity. If I walk outside on a humid day, I start sweating just standing there...and I'm not sure I want to become acclimated to it.

I think you're right about that too Dleg. I noticed that I used more hand lotion up there. It's only a couple of hundred miles north but I can still tell the difference.
The water is a lot harder too, and it tastes better.

Speaking of Denver, we hit 40 degrees and about 8% humidity. Anything over 30% just feels soggy. Average temp for the week has been about 30 degrees.

Before air conditioning, you had to keep an eye out for mold growing on your shoes. Seriously.
^I remember the first "possession" I bought when I moved out here -a "Risk" board game I shared with a friend. When you move to a place like this you usually come with the intention f staying a year or two and then leaving, hence you typically don't buy anything like that, so it was a big deal. He left it in his non-airconditioned house and the next time we took it out, about two weeks later, the playing board had molded over and warped so badly that it was totally ruined.
I was so sad.
(it was probably also due to all the spilled and spattered beer on the board)

we really don't need bath towels. you're dry in about 2 minutes without one.
