People who live here year-round complain it’s been too cold this summer. We’ve had foggy days with small slivers of sunshine peeking through. On some days there’s no sunshine.
That is fine by me. I’m loving the cool weather for beach walks. It’s such a contrast to our desert life. Also, the tiny house doesn’t have AC, so it’s better to have cool weather than hot.
I read in the news that Interstate 10 washed out near the border of Arizona and California. We missed wild weather.
I’m hoping the road will be fixed before we drive home. The alternate routes are hours longer! Plus one alternate route closed due to downed power poles and lines.
Maybe we’ll be stuck here at the beach in the tiny town of Summerland.
What has your August weather been like? Is it unusual or more of the same?
I’ve found that summer doesn’t always have to be spectacular and sunny, hot days. You need a break now and then. At least that’s from a Washington perspective!
Washington always had the best Septembers. My mom called them Indian Summers.
It’s been really humid here. Not enjoyable. But that’s typical of the Midwest.
We have humidity and fog at the beach, but the cool weather makes it feel wonderful to me.
We are having massive rains. Flood in many parts of country. Very sad
I didn’t know that. We had huge rains for a few days before we left on vacation. One of my neighbors said it continued for days after we left.
Weather change
Humid. Like every august…
It was extremely humid in Arizona with thunder and lightening. It only rained a day or two while we were there though.
Hope it’s fixed before you have to drive home.
Interstate 10 is the main East West corridor in the US. Unbelievable that it washed out.
I’ve enjoyed the cooler summer too. When I was young and stupid, a summer day without sun meant no tanning. Now, I welcome the cloud cover and breezes. We don’t have AC and haven’t missed it at all this year. Since it usually heats up in September and into October, we aren’t out of the woods yet, but fingers crossed. Good luck on your journey home, that washout was pretty amazing.
Thank you for the well wishes on our drive home. I learned today that the 10 has reopened. I used to try to tan in WA state when I was young. Now I get brown walking out the door.
It appears to be getting cooler which is good because sometime my ac in classroom stops at 76 degrees which is so hot for a class. I think it will get cooler soon, here is hoping for hurricane season and rains to continue.
I never understood why our Palm Springs schools switched schedules and started school in early August. It’s in the mid to high teens! Must be miserable in class even with AC.
Hot and a bit humid.
The dolphins are beautiful. Interesting that they are so close to the shore. Are they always so close? Thinking warmer water would be closer to the shore.
I’ve seen them close to shore many times. It’s almost like they are playing in the waves.
