Unfortunately, it's been rather crappy lately. Spring was nice, warm weather, low humidity.
Last few weeks, hot, 70-90% humidity (like walking through soup) and rain almost every day :banghead:
Wish I could get 80's every day with low humidity... I can take the heat, but the crazy humidity makes you sweat, sweat & sweat more. Very uncomfortable. Maybe I'm a pansy... living surrounded by the Great Lakes makes it humid as hell. Used to live in the country on a farm, was better. Now in the city, very little breeze. Just stagnant, moist air. Mosquito's are thriving.

I wish I could, but our weather sounds just as crappy as yours :banghead: I just put on my Trektop NX last week & haven't even been able to take the windows out yet! If it hasn't been hot, humid & raining, then it's been too dang cold! Welcome to Michigan :surrender: ETA: I just noticed you're from MI, too, lol.
I am also a fellow Michigander (SE MI about 13 miles from the OH border). And I have had my top down probably around 20-30 times so far this year. I don't get cold very easy and pretty much wear shorts all year long, so if it's 45 degrees or warmer, the top comes down! unk: :thumb::dance:
I've also had the top down only once.. however the Sunrider (with or without rear window removed) has made the summer bearable. Let's get this crappy weather over with already!!
I've had the top down a lot, but we have only had a couple stretches of 3+ days without rain... That is the point where I feel its worthwhile to put the tube doors on and just throw a cover on overnight.
Sounds like the weather in Pittsburgh. I have had my top off a few times and the doors off only once. Weather forecast is showing a chance of rain for the next 7 days.
Southern Ontario here, same crappy weather. Rain and thunderstorm forecasts almost every day. The hottest point of some afternoons has been 100 Degrees(38 Celsius) on the thermostat in the Jeep. Haven't had the chance to really have the top down for a few days in a row since early spring.
The sunrider has come in handy though, its turned out to be a nice feature for getting some airflow and sunshine in the Jeep between rain storms. Helps out with the no air conditioning part.

Hot in ks but can't complain. Rains about once a week, then clear for days at a time. Tops off 90% of the time! This is my first summer with my first jeep and I will NEVER go back to a car or truck! Way to much fun with the top down! I'm hooked!
Weather here has sucked it either rains every other day or all week so ive only had the top an doors off for one weekend hoping it improves goin into summer
Yesterday it got to a scorching 80 degrees with 60% humidity...and it hasn't rained once since I moved here 2 months ago. And the forecast isn't changing much in the next few weeks. :evilgrin:
Coming from Southern Ontario (Mississauga, to be exact) this place is what dreams are made of.
104 today with ~25% humidity. I've been running with the doors off and top down for most of the last 3 weeks. I had to button up for a couple days of rain, but promptly stripped back down. Yesterday and today I have left the top up, but windows out (doors still off) so I have shade in the 100+ deg heat. The high on Monday is rumored to only be about 92...if so, the top will be back down.
It randomly rains here in missouri so I find myself leaving my too up most of the time.. I think it's a Hassle taking it up and down all the time, plus I'm terrified of being caught on the road in a storm with no top haha
Been doorless/safari mode since March, save for a few days with rain/wind/going out of town. Now I'm getting beat on with 100+* weather till probably August. My sandal tan is pretty bad, lol.
I haven't dropped the top since April. It has been too hot for that though I do see a few tougher than I who are doing it. Today is about 120 degrees! The top is going to have to wait until October or to when I get up in the high country.
From another thread, I mentioned that my bikini blew off on the free way. I went topless for a while and it wasn't that bad pre-100s, but we were more than 110 today -- thank god I have this make-shift trap hanging on.... really makes it pleasant, if you can believe that, with the doors off (think it was 112 today - certainly not that 116 they predicted). I think some people just get acclimated.
I'd have the top down, but probably have the doors on.
Edit:
Oh, the rain...yeah, top up.
