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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
