Now that’s interesting…our weather forecast looks almost the same as the one for Scottsdale, Arizona, where my sister and her family live. Yes, it’s going to be 108° today…for both of us. But our humidity is at 41% compared to 51% in Arizona. So what happened to the much publicized “it’s a dry heat” of Arizona? With a lower humidity, could Orland become the preferred vacation spot for the rich and famous and take the title away from Scottsdale?
And with that kind of a forecast, I think I had better get out and on the trail early this morning if I want to avoid heat problems while training. And I will need to make certain that I stop for water at every chance.
The cat seems to take this weather in stride and that seems odd. You would think that a black fur coat would not be the best choice for summer wear. But she has changed her habits to fit the weather. She spends most of the day in the furthest corner of the garage, up under a workbench. Here she naps for at least 8 hours, sometimes longer. She only becomes active in the late evening/early morning hours. Such as right now…she’s busily wandering about the house, inspecting, and I expect her to jump up into her favorite spot in the window very soon.
Our high temps are the same but the low's are quite different. You get the night cooling. We get down to 85 or so at night, if that! We are in our "monsoon" season which brings the dreaded humidity that comes with the summer rain storms. It does cool things down a bit, so we should be thankful for it. We are predicted to get thunderstorms each afternoon this week. I think the preferred vacations in Scottsdale are saved for the winter. When you have your gray skies and cold, rainy days, we will be having our sun and 72 degree weather. Maybe Orland can become the Summer destination for the rich and famous. We are heading for Californa and the beach to visit Justin in August, when the desert becomes absolutely unbearable.
