humid is almost worse than hot

i've been sticky for 3 days now. melbourne rarely gets humid (and it usually is very brief if it does get humid). its been even worse at work cuz we have an evapourative cooler. it works well when the weather is dry and hot but horrible when its humid. the humidity is worse inside than it is outside. with the humidity combined with the heat the cooler doesn't do a great job. its horrible!
i looked at the forcast and found that thunderstorms are forecast for tonite and possible thunderstorms the next couple days!!! at least if its gonna be humid, it can rain. i LOVE thunderstorms and we've barely had any this year! the picture above is lightning hitting 120 collins street in the city (taken in 1994). below is the 256km radar photo for the melbourne airport (just a bit northwest-ish from us). the big blue/green blob is rain (the orange, yellow and red bits are heavy rain). our weather systems move from west to east so this blog of rain is sure to hit us (unless it somehow runs out of rain in the next 50km...). hopefully its coming with some thunder and lighning. i should probably go bring the laundry in before i forget and it gets an extra rinse.
