Hot or Cold ... Make Up Your Mind

Okay, you know what's happening. The seasons are changing again, and the weather doesn't know whether to be hot or cold. One day you're roasting, sweating buckets, and the next day you turn your heater on. Fall starts on Saturday. I can't wait. With Fall or Autumn as many people refer to it as, come cooler weather, fewer insects, and color. I love the fall colors as trees change and put on a glorious color show. However, we need to convince summer she needs to leave. It's time to put away her vicious hot steamy claws, and allow the cooler temperature of Fall to have a chance to bring joy to everyone. We've had some flooding in the forecast along with the heat and humidity, and there's more to come. They're talking flash floods for tomorrow. It's supposed to start raining sometime today and go through tomorrow. The best thing about that is the cooler temps. I'm also not planning to drive in it again as I did Monday night. Are you looking forward to cooler temperatures, beautiful color, and the end of summer's heat and humidity? I know if you're down under as @JudyEv is, you're coming out of the cold and entering into the heat of spring and summer weather. Every season has its perks. I haven't figured out what perks summer has yet. Oh sure it looks nice, and you don't need to wear heavy winter wear to stay warm, but you exchange all that for pesky flies and other insects that drive you crazy all summer long, while you sweat bullets due to the heat and humidity. Give me cooler temps and snow any day. It's insect free. Besides, it's easier to layer it on to stay warm than it is to take it off to be cool. Is there a place on earth that has perfect weather year-round and no insects to bother you? Let me know where that place is. Are you ready for the change? Thanks for reading.

I love the seasons too. I missed them when I lived in California which has one season - summer.

This is why so many retired Americans go to Florida (Or some other Southern State) in the Winter and somewhere like Minnesota in the Summer, because it seems impossible to get it all in one place. Here it just went from hot and dry to cold and rainy. Yesterday started very hot and then there was a big storm and it's still raining now. It's much cooler now but very wet.

We've got your rain. It started about an hour ago and won't let up until tomorrow. I love winter and would never dream of going to Florida to get away from it. If I had the finances, I would consider going Down Under in summer.

Here in Southern CA, there never seems to be a true "autumn". However this end of summer has been strange . . . it's not super hot as it would normally be . . . and the evenings/mornings are actually rather cool. The plants/trees already have been acting like the start of autumn . Insects are always here - no getting around that. The only real change I'd like here is more rain!!

It's still in the 90s here but soon it will only go up to maybe 93 or so, then it'll drop into the 80s for a month or so but it is our seasaw season here, we could get a day or two of freezing weather but that is not expected until November or December. January is when we begin to get cold, it might drop as low as the low 40s during the day but I don't like that kind of cold.

My favourite seasons are spring and fall. Winter is too icy and summer is way too hot and so many annoying bugs. Enjoy your fall temperatures as we're in spring heading to summer. Stay safe from the floods.

Will it be before or after that you are at least thinking of going. I'm in shock. I need a drink. I know you'll let me know when you're getting ready to leave. Enjoy your weekend.

This has been the weirdest summer, that I can every remember! One day it's so blistering hot, then two days later we're kicking on the furnace in the morning:( One day in June, we were even having threats of frost Yes, I'd love to experience beautiful, fall weather, for about six months! I've been told that San Diego has moderate weather, all year long.

Yeah, they do. Not a fan of San Diego's weather. Lived in it for 5 years. Though it was instrumental in getting rid of my hay fever. I turned my furnace on once this summer too for a couple hours to get the chill out of the apartment. Today I ran the heater in my office and I'm sitting here in a winter sweater. Yes, it's been a weird summer.

The weather in my place seems confused through out year. It is never full summer or full winter, except for March and April when it is pretty sure that it is summer. And it is very tough to ask rain to leave. She comes anytime without any prior notice.
