This week has been uncharacteriscally mild here in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Typically at this time of year (mid-August) the daytime temperatures would be in the upper-80s to mid-90s and the humidity level would be very high, producing a 'sauna' effect. We also refer to this time as the 'dog days of summer'.
But every day this week the temperatures have been in the upper-70s to low-80s and the humidity has been almost non-existent. Spouse and Marvin and I have had dinner out on the screened porch several times and even slept with the bedroom windows partially opened.
Not that I'm complaining - its been fantastic - but it does make you a little leery. Does this mean we're going to be blasted by a heat wave at the end of the month?? Or does this mean we're going to have another colder-than-usual winter??
I'm going to try and not over-think it, but instead, just enjoy it.

walt and ken have said france has also been cooler than normal for this time of year.
I have had my air conditioner more OFF than ON this year; saving me $$$!
but the GOP says "climate change" does not exist...asshats!
The upper mid west and the north east have had much cooler weather all summer thanks to a summer vortex. The long range forecast is predicting another winter like the one we just had thanks to more polar vortexes.
