We hear about the high temperatures out there because our son lives on the west coast. The northeast has already turned cool. Last night's low was 52°, and today's high is projected to be 77°. The end of next week is projected to be warmer for a couple days, highs in the low 80's, but a very similar prediction was made for this week and it didn't happen.
But what's been nicest about recent weather is the lower humidity. The almost constant 90%+ humidity during the day over the summer was a lot to bear for anyone engaged in physical activities like yardwork or sports. Yesterday the humidity during the afternoon was around 50% - it was wonderful.
