Can You Say Muggy?

Did you know that muggy may come from an old Nores word "mugga", meaning a drizzle.  The Merriam-Webster dictionary gives the meaning as "being warm, damp, and close" It seems strange that the word uncomfortable isn't used.  When I think muggy, I sure think it means uncomfortable. At least in late June, July and August here in the Arizona desert during monsoon season.

Can I take a moment and suggest, hot, humid, steamy weather as being so unpleasant and uncomfortable that you feel "mugged" when you step outside. That's one easy way to remember the meaning of muggy.

"It's not the heat! It's the humidity!" That's what your grandma says when she wants to complain about muggy weather. Muggy means a combination of humidity and heat that makes you sweaty and uncomfortable and long for being inside in your air-conditioning. Come summer in Arizona and the muggy dog days of summer come around you will wonder why we are told that it isn’t really that hot in Arizona because we have a “Dry Heat!”.  Trust me that 105 degrees maybe be cooler than 115 but the humid monsoon weather makes 105 seem more uncomfortable.

Some of the time in Phoenix Metro area when you look at weather report and temperature it may say 110 degrees Fahrenheit … feels like 104 degrees.  Now that it is humid it may say 105 degrees and the “Feels Like” reads 111 degrees.  That is uncomfortable.

Your AC Unit can help you feel cool and comfortable.  But at what price.  You say your last power bill.  Were you a bit shocked or a bit sick at your stomach?  A modern air conditioner can save you big bucks on your energy bill and be more reliable all at the same time.

How old is your current ac unit?  Are you planning on staying in your home for the foreseeable future?  Why have your old unit stealing money out of your wallet every month.  High power bills and repairs on top of that…

Remember a new air conditioner with a higher SEER rating will save you money every day and you won’t have any repair bills.  At least none during its warranty period (this varies from unit to unit) and that can be many years.

So when does our current monsoon season end?  Well the record for the last monsoon day is officialy September 30th.  Of course there are always exceptions, in 1984 we had 99 days with the dew point above 55 degrees. During 1984 72 of those days were consecutive. 

Did you know that during our monsoon, or summer thunderstorm season, Arizona experiences more severe weather than many other states. On rare occasions, a severe storm may spawn a tornado. More often, high winds, dust and severe downpours resulting in flash floods are common monsoon occurrences.
