It has been one hot summer here in Newnan Georgia. There have been more ninety degree plus day this year than in any previous year that I can recall.

And when you add in the extremely high humidity, the so-called “heat index” has been over a hundred degrees for many days in a row. Yesterday, as the sweat was pouring as I installed yard signs on my new listings, the word “sweltering” popped into my head.

I never really thought much of the word ‘sweltering,” but the use of the term in describing our climatic condition has never been more appropriate.

It’s miserable outside. Even more depressing is the fact that the long range forecast calls for more of the same.

And so as air-conditioners whirl and fans spin, one looks to the outside world with trepidation.

Because it’s really sweltering out there!
