Sorry; I've gotten more wet walking the 40 paces to my car in south Louisiana summer afternoon heat. It was definitely not worth a tourist carrying another piece of equipment! And, if the same day as I recall, by the time we met you, it was merely cloudy, then quite pleasant during our walk.

It was indeed lovel weather for a stroll in the park.  When I was in the 
US last month was the first time I came across "feels like" temperatures 
being higher than the actual temperatures in a forecast.  Experiencing 
it told me why.  One morning one of the housekeeping staff said that the 
previous day had ben like walking into a wall of heat because it was so 
humid.  The high humidity means perspiration does not evaporate.

What we get over here is what I call mizzly weather - fine rain which 
makes you feel miserable and does no good at all.  Since I wear 
eye-glasses it is terrible as it gets on the lenses and makes seeing 
difficult. At least my experience in the USA is that when it rains it 
rains.  A few minutes later the rain has cleared but here it can settle 
in for a long time.  Fortunately it did not that day and it was good to 
see you and the slimmed down Rodger.
