Summer has arrived – in FORCE!! The temperatures are up in the “warning” levels, the humidity is already here, and the first TWO named Pacific hurricanes are headed this way. Welcome to a climate change, el Niño, living in a desert summer!
Seeing is believing! We won’t see any evening temps below the mid-seventies for the foreseeable future. The thunderstorms are the potential remnants of Hurricane Adrian. The next one, Beatriz, seems to be losing steam and may not give us any noticeable change in weather patterns. We are very grateful. However the humidity is ridiculously high (for here – a desert) and the days and evenings are getting distinctly uncomfortable.
We have done the basic prep for hurricane season. Lots of water, downspouts cleaned out, cars fueled, propane full. This is early for hurricanes in the Pacific, but the Atlantic is having the same problems. The ocean surface temps are off the charts, so the season is starting early. Yippee!
It’s 70 and pleasant here. Just sayin’
