A Refreshing Change

Yesterday the remnants of Tropical Storm Cristobal came through our area. The predicted heavy rain veered away from us, but there was still gusty winds, and the humidity was high enough to make things feel miserable outside.

But after the storm a cool front came in overnight. When my alarm went off this morning I found out that Hubby Tony had turned off the air conditioner and opened up the windows, and I got to enjoy the outside sounds and the breeze coming in while I ate breakfast and read the newspaper.  During my trip to the grocery store I found out it was too cool for shorts, and that cut short my first attempt at a walk. I came home and switched to Capri pants, which made my after-lunchtime walk a joy.

Late in the day I looked at the weather app on my phone, which told me that things were supposed to heat up again tomorrow. However,  the forecast from one of our local stations was more acceptable to me, and I decided that this was the forecast I was going with:

Depending on the level of humidity that goes along with these temperatures, we have the possibility of a whole week without the air conditioner. That's unheard of at this time of year!

  4. That was quite the storm. I shudder when I think of how strong it was in the beginning.

    1. Yes, and also one of the earliest for hurricane season.

  5. Low humidity is the answer here, for sure. Although in the 90s, we have 13-17% humidity. Very easy to live with.

    1. I could definitely get used to humidity in that range.
