Bloomington, IN. Actually I'm in more rural Monroe County.
I will say that the weather we've had this week is NOT typical August

We've had a normal-to-cool summer here so far. Got down to 52 last
night, unheard of for August. Wonderful sleeping weather. Haven't run
the AC since last weekend.

I would say that’s a pretty broad list. You probably need to qualify what’s

I would agree, at least given the choice I would prefer to have four seasons.
Down here from maybe October to March it’s in the 70s all day log with low
humidity, absolutely wonderful weather. While the heat and humidity suck, the
rest of the year makes up for it. Think early fall or late

And those tickets they made you buy a year in advance?

Bloomington is cooler than Evansville, we are on the river here and muggy
doesn't quite describe night weather here. Usually lots of foggy mornings with
very heavy dew. Not so much in Bloomington, although it's warm and humid there
too. Went college at IU in the 70's.
I love the hot humid weather after spending my first 45 years in Indiana and
Boston and the winters there. I love being out in it.
