Weather It Is (They Say)

Good Afternoon:

The other morning the wife tells me that (the radio says) it's going to rain that afternoon.  I quickly consulted our forecast models and decided that this was a bit premature.  The next day one daughter says: "well, I guess that's it for summer."  Yesterday, the son asks: "when is it going to rain?"  Another daughter says today: "winter's arrived!"

Except it hasn't.  In fact, the weather might be just a tad unpleasant this week.  It's not the heat, it's the humidity, they say. Actually, temperatures in the mid 20s to near 30 C in some locations combined with high humidity will make people sweat (which is pretty yukky if you happen to be around them).

True, the weather map is becoming more active and temperatures will be falling off at upper levels, but the desert low pressure area to our east (combined with humid winds off the sea) will maintain just enough of an influence to makes things uncomfortable.

The good news is that mid-next week will probably bring in some cooler air, but right now it's not clear just how much cooler.

Regarding our fall and early winter weather: it looks like it is "leaning" to the cooler than normal "side."
