Hello, this is Simon,<\/p>\n

Once again, we had the rainy season. It is a time of year that I have mixed feelings about.<\/p>\n

On the positive side, my garden loves it, because it is receiving a near constant stream of vital water. It saves me time too, as I don\u2019t have to spend mornings and evenings watering the garden. With the current water rates being so high, it is appreciated from budgetary point of view as well. My lawn in particular loves it, because I\u2019ve been skimping on watering the grass in recent years. The lawn really seems to lush up<\/strong><\/em> in the rainy season.<\/p>\n

I also find it can be a pleasant reprieve from the early summer heat. The rain really does seem to cool things down sometimes. When I walk around outside, each rain drop on my skin feels like it\u2019s taking me to a more comfortable place.<\/p>\n

However, on the negative side, there are those very humid days, the really sticky ones<\/em><\/strong>. I notice it as soon as I wake up and my skin is all clammy<\/em><\/strong>. Fortunately, the air conditioner offers some reprieve, but that is short lived, because eventually I have to go to work. I open the door and walk outside, and it\u2019s like a Turkish bathhouse<\/em><\/strong>. As I walk to work, I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m walking at all. It\u2019s like I\u2019m swimming<\/em><\/strong>. I\u2019m constantly wet. I know I am sweating buckets<\/strong><\/em>, but it doesn\u2019t seem to be cooling me down.<\/p>\n

There is not a dry bone on my body, and this lasts the entire day, until I\u2019m back at home showered and dried, late in the evening. I actually prefer a very hot summer day to a semi hot steamy day.
\nAs they say, \u201cIt\u2019s not the heat. It\u2019s the humidity…\u201c<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201clush up\u201d<\/h2>\n

This isn\u2019t such a commonly used term, but \u201clush\u201d is an adjective that describes an area of healthy green vegetation<\/p>\n

(e.g. The grass in England is very lush, due to the rainfall.)<\/p>\n

It is possible to use it as a verb in a phrase like \u201clush up\u201d to mean for an area to become more lush.<\/p>\n

\u201cthe really sticky ones\u201d<\/h2>\n

The adjective \u201csticky\u201d<\/strong> is another word for \u201chumid\u201d or \u201cmuggy\u201d.<\/strong> It describes \u201cweather or conditions that feel damp, moist, and often uncomfortable due to high humidity levels\u201d<\/p>\n

(e.g. I\u2019m not a fan of this sticky weather.\/I feel really sticky in this humidity.)<\/p>\n

\u201cmy skin is all clammy\u201d<\/h2>\n

The adjective \u201cclammy\u201d<\/strong>, when used to describe skin, means \u201cdamp and sticky\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n

(e.g. I could tell he was nervous when I shook his hand, and noticed how clammy it was.)<\/p>\n

\u201cit\u2019s like a Turkish bathhouse\u201d<\/h2>\n

This is a colorful variation of saying the humidity is \u201clike a sauna\u201d<\/strong>. It describes a very hot and steamy atmosphere.<\/p>\n

For reference, I checked out some images of Turkish bathhouses, and they look amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m swimming\u201d<\/h2>\n

This is another way of saying it is very humid. When the air is very thick with moisture, to the point where we can feel our hands passing through it as we walk, we often liken the situation to swimming<\/p>\n

(e.g. During the heatwave, even a short walk felt like swimming through a hot, sticky sea of air.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sweating buckets\u201d<\/h2>\n

This means that we are sweating large amounts of water<\/p>\n

(e.g. After running for an hour in the hot sun, she was sweating buckets.)<\/p>\n

It can also be used to describe a state of extreme anxiousness or nervousness<\/p>\n

(e.g. He was so nervous during the interview that he started sweating buckets.)<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the heat, it\u2019s the humidity.\u201d<\/h2>\n

This is a commonly used expression. The meaning is that more than the heat, it is the humidity that is making us feel so uncomfortable. The expression is generally used as a standalone sentence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stay cool and have a great summer vacation!<\/p>\n

See you next month.<\/p>\n
