Glad to hear your dry spell is ending.  In my region 30 out of 31 days 
in August exceeded 90 F / 34 C, but the heat index which factors 
humidity made the mean daily average in excess of 100 F/ 39 C.  Even 
after sundown when the temperature drops the humidity still makes it 
miserable; I have to keep windows closed and run air conditioning or 
I'll get mold on the walls.  I like to ventilate the house with outside 
air as often as I can.  Constant air conditioning can cause "sick 
house", and since  my three dogs like to plop down on the floor vents to 
cool their forelegs in the blast of cold air, the house takes on an 
aroma that is rather "distinct."

Re backups:  I image my home directory on a DVD every month; if I've got 
a file that I want to archive before my monthly back up I copy it to a 
USB memory stick and then copy it to another system.  (I don't have a 
home network; I don't need to talk to myself, yet.   )
