When will it be Fall?

I know that it isn’t going to be fall for weeks yet. I know that we are still at summer’s mercy. I know that I shouldn’t complain, and all, but it’s just ridiculous. It’s hot and miserable, and I’m not a fan of either condition. Add to it the fact that my actual favorite season—fall—has a tendency to get lost in the holidays and craziness, and now it’s going to start being fall with 100 degree weather (if things don’t settle down quickly). It's like summer is expanding.

Going into this weekend, it is going to be abnormally hot every day for the big weekend. In most cases, it will be within a degree or two of record breaking.

Meanwhile, in Texas, Honduras, and Nepal, they’re having record setting floods. These are, undoubtedly horrible disasters, and their magnitude far eclipses my inconveniencing (though we'll be in the danger zone) heatwave. 

I'm just ready for fall. 


Conclusion: When it comes to weather, record setting should not be a thing.

  1. It's the first day of meteorological autumn (fall) in the UK - and I'm not quite ready for the morning chills and mists, and the earlier sun sets. Shall we swap?

    1. Yes. I'll swap. I like the damp and the cold. That's not where I live. It'll be 115 here today, tomorrow and Monday. Our county had to open cooling stations where people can be in air conditioned rooms. No joke.

    2. Hmm, that might be just a little too hot for me! Hope it cools down for you soon.
