Outside My Window ~ 7.28.2013
Outside my window…is a cloudy and humid morning. Currently it is noon and we have a temperature of 81°F but feels like 86°F with the 75% humidity factored in. Yes, it is humid but not beyond miserable because the temperature is manageable. We have enjoyed some beautiful weather the past few days with blue skies, moderate temperatures and lower humidity. I think today is the first day the humidity has been this high in some time. I’m not fool enough to believe that cooler temperatures are going to be the norm for the rest of the summer….traditionally August is a hot month….but I did read on one of my weather geek…

Outside My Window ~ 7.14.2013
Outside my window…today is hot and humid. We have had intermittent sunshine and cloud cover but the heat has remained consistent. At approximately 2:30 it is 85°F but feels like 92°F ~ humidity is 71%. We had a dry, hot week until Thursday which saw heavy rains that afternoon, rain again on Friday and more heavy rain Saturday morning and early afternoon. Our chance for rain this afternoon is relatively low at 20%, but then I have seen pouring rain when our chance was only 30% so hard to say. I can see dark clouds outside my window looking East but there is plenty of sunshine right now. I wouldn’t…

Outside My Window ~ 6.30.2013
Outside my window…is a very dull day….gray, cloudy, hot, humid. It is around 2:00 and we are at 82°F, it feels like 87°F when you factor in the 74% humidity ~ yes, it is just a tad humid. There is a slight breeze that is moving the air around so it isn’t quite as suffocating as it could be. We have been hot and humid for quite a few days….and rain every day for several days ~ not constant, just showers here and there, hit and miss thunderstorms with brief downpours. Our forecast today is calling for a high of 85°F, humid with a 40% chance of scattered thunderstorms. Tomorrow looks like it…

A Somber Anniversary
I began to create outside my window several times today, and it just wasn’t working. Today is an anniversary that I wish wasn’t so….but it is what it is and we learn to live with a life that has changed. Instead of the normal chatter, I’m featuring something that was written by my sister’s friend….about Bob ~ a brother, a husband, a father, a Papa…. We miss you Papa!

Outside My Window ~ 6.9.2013
Outside my window…is a typical summer morning in Southeast Virginia. I know it isn’t officially summer yet ~ but it certainly feels like it outside this past weekend. Right now, at around 10:00 this morning, we are at 79°F with a 71% humidity so it feels like 81°F. Skies are partly cloudy but I like to think of it as more like filtered sun. There is plenty of sunshine out however there is a definite haze in the air which gives it that filtered look. Our forecast high for the day is 84°F….but will probably feel closer to 90° when you factor in the humidity. There has been plenty of…

Wishing For Better Days
