Weather It Is (Summer Returns)

Good Morning:

It's 19 C (about 65 F), 95% humidity, with very light winds out of the west -- at about 5 A.M. I'm up rather early today because we had a small, but significant plumbing disaster.  Of course, a bit of misfortune is always a good opportunity for a little introspection and improvement.  What's important is that when the kids get up (and the wife too), things will almost be back to normal.

The way the weather will be heating up will make us wonder if we're being sent a message right before the New Year.  True, it won't warm up very fast this week, but it will get progressively hotter.
The heat is courtesy of a confluence of events: high pressure situated to our north combining with desert low pressure to our east.  The result will be an increasing eastward component to the wind which will bring the hot air situated to our east into our area.   True, the humidity will go down a bit, but the heat will go up.

In fact, just before Rosh HaShanah, the heat may go way, way up as low pressure develops over the Mediterranean, winds pick up, and the pipeline to the desert heat opens.  One might have a feeling that we've erred a bit and the "Garden of Eden" has been replaced by its much hotter counterpart.

Fortunately, it looks like cooler air will follow late next week.

Shana Tova,
