So summer is almost over. How has your summer been, weather-wise?

[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 667047, member: 18958"] It has been cooling off here. In July and August at mid day we were at 100 to 105 many days. It dropped down the past couple of weeks to the 90's. This week it is expected to get back up to 100 to 104. Like some of you I like rainy, cool, misty, foggy weather. But not so much the extreme cold as I am not used to it. I welcome the winter here. It is mild. I would like it to be wetter, though. But we do (usually) get some rain. We keep the fans on and AC on all of the time, at 79. I used to keep it at higher turn on point. Like 82 or 84. Now I choose not to suffer. We do not suffer at 79. We are in drought. Parks and yards are brown as people decide not to water grass. There is talk that many cities are not sustainable. In the sense that given normal weather patterns there is not enough water to sustain them. (I read that the entire 20th century was an anomaly in terms of how much rain there was in my part of the country.) If people and corporations continue to use water like they have been, that is. But some experts are saying that the Southern cities can survive if we change our habits. In the winter we almost do not use our heater. But we have a dry Mediterranean climate. We hardly ever stay below freezing. It is a treat when the grass is white when we wake up. We shut doors and put on extra layers and more blankets. I do not like the feeling of the air with a heater. It feels too dry. At first M suffered here because he comes from a city of eternal spring. Now he is used to it. We bundle up. [/QUOTE]
