90's is good? You must not have the malarial type heat we have here. Mosquitos, ticks, deer & black flies are loving it. The woods are a no-go zone for the time being.

Yeah no thanks. Mid 90s all weekend and humidity to match. Plus all those nasty biting bugs.

I live in northern Michigan and it’s supposed to be in the 90s here too. I hate the heat 60s for the summer would suit me fine!

I dont know when 90 degree heat became good, I shoot less when its that hot. I prefer 50-70 deg, no wind and even a bit cloudy.
I cant stand the heat anymore, mowed one day 10 yrs ago for 12hrs in 88 deg heat and got really sick from it broke out in a whole body rash, massive headache etc. Ever since then cant stand the heat, if I start to even get really hot my back starts to break out in a rash again, so Ill take cool weather any day. But have fun shooting.

90 s versus what ?
It’s gonna be 90 s for me in the coming week.
I don’t relate that to being good in any way. .. haaaa!

Nice low humidity and rarely below 45f or above 80f. Thank you Alaska current for keeping the ocean water so chilly. Condenses all that nasty moisture right out if the air. Annual average temp 62.5f

When you’re accustomed to a thing then it’s not such a big deal. Plenty of my friends love this time of year. I know women who love the heat. Women loving the heat is one of the best things to see. It puts more women in flowing dresses and shorts in these parts. There are some that don’t enjoy it. The bugs annoy a lot of people this time of year. In fact, there’s a young woman that works at our local town store. She can’t stand the heat and says she doesn’t like tomatoes. She says she love the cold. Both are very strange to hear. It’s what I would expect a personal born in a different climate to say, but she’s from the area. I prefer spring and autumn weather, I’ll be outside regardless. I’m out there in the heat and in the snow because the animals need to eat and they need access to adequate water. What sucks is having to feed livestock in the rain and vehicles get stuck in the mud.
As for airgunning, the thing I hate about shooting in high humidity and heat is sweating all over the comb or the rear of the breech block (depending on the gun).

It’s 82 at 8am. Tomorrow, calling for 95. Hate it when you sweat when you swim. I don’t know how you guys take the heat in southern states. Last year in Texas over 40 days 100 degrees, I don’t have air conditioning and no plans getting it. Living on lake helps.
My huge concern is these wild fires.
I shoot way more in winter. You can dress to cold but not to heat. Plus no bugs. Yesterday, something bit me 3 times on elbow, nasty.
Ironically, yesterday Bass opened. I was up at 5:15, but the temp was 53f. I turned on the furnace instead. I usually fish when the sun comes up or goes down, daily.
In winter I shoot on average 10-20 hours weekly. Lucky to get 5 in the summer. I’m much busier with projects in summer. Crow

I have a couple of large patio umbrellas which help. I will generally do my summer shooting earlier in the day, in fact everything outdoors early. We hit 95 for a while yesterday. I mowed a couple of days ago and slept too late, so it was getting warm, late morning, not hot but I was sweating. I told my wife next week when I mow , the blades will be turning around 7am.
Here in my part of Texas, the eastern part is basically the deep south. Humid all year and humidity is what hurts. I spent a couple of years overseas in the military where the summers were hot, but low humidity and it was much more comfortable, Winters not quite as cold here, and still more tolerable.

Being located in the upper Midwest we have the luxury of being able to bitch about both summer and winter weather.
Best of both worlds.
I am finding summer weather easier to deal with both psychologically and physically, which is a sign of getting old.
