Horrible Kilt Weather
Bleh... Here in Phoenix, Arizona we are currently in the middle of what we call our "Monsoon" season. We get most of our rain for the year during this season, and when it actually does rain, it's my favorite time of the year, but when it's not actually raining it can be the most miserable.
Locally this means that it will be super hot during the day, approximately 108-110 degrees, with little to no cloud cover. Then in the early evening thick clouds will roll in, and MAYBE if we're lucky it'll drop some rain on the valley. When it does rain and storm it'll usually come down extremely hard from anywhere from 5 minutes to 3-4 hours.
Now what does this all mean for going kilted? 110 Degree heat, high humidity (approximately 80-90%), and direct sunlight that could fry an egg on the concrete (I'm not kidding, I've tried, and it works). AKA miserable.
The sweat accumulation underneath the kilt is almost unbearable for anyone out here that goes regimental. The plus side is there is normally at least 8-10 mph winds so the draft helps, but it's nowhere near enough.
Anyways, I just wanted to vent, and to also open up this thread for everyone to share what they consider horrible kilt weather in your area.
Don't get me wrong, all weather is ok for kilt wearing, whether it be -10degrees or 120 degrees. I just want to know what's the worse weather you experience in your area.
