Month: October 2024

What a wild ride. We have had wild swings of weather. Over the weekend we had hot, record breaking hot. We hit 104 on Sunday, That broke a couple of records. It was, among other things the latest day we have had triple digits in this area. It was freaking hot!

And today Wednesday we had a cold front find it’s way here. It was a lovely day to walk my dog. Right now it is 10:30pm and its all of 48 degrees outside. We hit a high of about 74 today, and we should drop down to 44 tonight. It was glorious outside today. It was cloudy a bit, overcast, then later it was clear and sunny. And tomorrow should be similar weather – still cool.

Unfortunately it won’t stay quite this nice. The forecast is for it to warm back up, but not back to recording breaking temperatures. Later this week we’ll warm back up to the 80’s, with a possible 90 the following week. But at least overall the weather is cooling down.

I’ll keep you posted on how the weather shapes up. I really do hope fall is actually here. I’d love to have a cool down of weather.

The past few months have been busy for me. Not all of it good, but busy nonetheless. Enough of me, on to the weather.

Hot. How else can I describe it. Just hot. It’s now early October and we are still sitting at 95 degree days. I admit I missed the entire month of August. I just skipped town and went on a cruise. I just didn’t want to deal with Texas heat. I’m glad I skipped town, but suffice it to say it is still hot here in central Texas.

Rumor has it we will cool down next week, but I’ll wait and see before I believe them. Trust but verify!!

Overall the weather here in the USA has been scary. The east coast has dealt with two hurricanes. One, Helene that hit the Florida coast as a Cat 4 late September. It then worked its way up to the Carolina’s wrecking havoc with rain and winds. It left power outages, flooding, property damage, etc. in its wake.

Then just the other day Hurricane Milton arrived. It didn’t go up the coast, it just crossed Florida. It entered as a Cat 3 and crossed the state. Florida has been left with power outages, severe damages, etc. I say etc. because in the couple of weeks between Helene and Milton, Florida didn’t have a chance to recover. It was in the process of recovering when Milton set it’s eyes on Florida. My guess is Milton compounded damages from Helene. I hate to say it, but it will probably take a while for Florida to recover from both storms.

Devastation abounds. Mother Nature has taken her fury out on the area. But we don’t know if she’s done, just getting warmed up, or what. Will another hurricane arrive? Nobody knows — yet.
