Humidex is partly a measure of relative comfort in heat. Or so my very early morning brain is telling me. It isn't the hottest night we have had this summer here in Brisbane, but believe me, I think it is the most uncomfortable.
I tried getting to sleep earlier on, but woke up because the fan was making me too cool, believe it or not I think I may have been about to get a chill. However, putting the fan on lower levels didn't work, because it was then too noisy - it needs a bloody good oiling or something...
Then, turning it off, the heat hit me. But it was a dry heat, seeming as if I let it continue, my skin would hold the heat in instead of letting it out. My room is barely bigger in area than the size of my queen sized bed - maybe two feet clearance apart from that. And the only bedroom without air conditioning, I gave up that luxury when my sister 'needed' the larger room...
So stuck with overheating, catching a chill or not sleeping due to the noise of a fan, I came downstairs and tried to sleep on the couch in the lounge. Slightly cooler, very slight, but scratchy fabric, which got me thinking that my entire body is scratchy at the moment - I was twisting in discomfort upstairs already, another thing to ruin any sense of comfort level...
Not the hottest night of the year but clearly the most uncomfortable. There go any plans I had for tomorrow, well, today - will be doing my best to catch up on sleep instead of going to any movies or anything...
