Tired of the heat? If so, cooling is on the way back to more seasonal weather conditions. As mentioned here the other day, forecast models still hint of some rainfall by the weekend, nothing major but on the damp side.
I won’t mind a few showers to freshen things up and I really enjoy the smell of fresh rain falling, which by the way we call petrichor. The phrase was first introduced back in 1964 when two scientists from Australia were studying the smells of wet weather after a prolonged dry period. I guess there are a couple of chemical reactions taking place. Regardless, it is refreshing, don’t you think?
High temperatures were 86 degrees on Saturday and 93 degrees on Sunday. I was expecting Monday’s high to be at or below 90 degrees. Today we have similar temperatures to Monday unless the ocean air arrives in the afternoon, keeping it into the more comfortable 80s.
A friend went to the Clark County Fair on Sunday and mentioned to me that hey, it is always hot during fair week or so it seems. Well, this week is the warmest week of the year, but our average high temperature drops back below 80 degrees by the weekend.
