Summers over already

It rained last week and you can feel the weather has changed, usually I see it after Labor day but it's a few weeks early this year. It never really got hot around here this summer. I miss the warm weather.

Come out to Palm Desert......107 today. I'm sick of the heat! And we have two more months of it.

The last few weeks have had the feel of fall in NW OH. It has me looking forward to going Salmon fishing up on the big Manistee.

You wait so long for summer and before you know it, it is gone.. Living in Chicago, July 4th is the mid point, everything goes down hill . The further north you go, july 4th is more pivotal. I'm 67 and am looking toward retirement - as much as the warm weather is attractive, I still lie the 4 seasons, May, Sept, Oct and early Nov are my favorite months

Well the vacation summer is over. School is back in session. The hot summer has legs still. Pretty mild this week (compared to the last one) in San Diego but I remember lots of 90F days all through September and early October.

I'm with you Beygon. 30 miles North (+/-) in Tustin. I can smell the change and have noticed earlier evening dusk.
The chickens are going into the coop a little
sooner each night.

We missed the rain and thunderstorms by a hair two weeks ago. Backed up against the foothills. We got some lightning and thunder but only a few spots.
Definitely been way more humid than normal.

I work from home doing my detailing/restoration and am out in the shop with doors open all day. Funny how you can sense that the weather/season has started to change.

Although it is funny... here in SoCal we hardly have "seasons".

Our older son starts TK next week Wednesday.

Here in the SW corner of the US, things have suddenly cooled off after last week's heat. That doesn't mean we won't be in for our usual hot weather next month into October. We got twice the amount of rain we usually get last winter. I'm hoping we get a wet winter this year too. Seems sort of unpredictable when it comes to the normal weather cycles we've had for so long.

^same in Bucks County, PA. Can't get away with mowing every other week this year...the grass won't stop growing. Still, the signs are pointing to summer's end. Less daylight, a few leaves dropping in the pool, shagbark hickory trees dropping their first nuts, etc.
