August 2021 is upon us
 |
The hot weather characteristics of this time of year has been ramping up over the past few weeks and it's what my late friend Jerry Landry characterized as 'oppressively hot' so many times while embarking on liberty during our time in the Navy.
The Old Farmer's Almanac reports that temperatures and precipitation will be below average while the heat and humidity will remain up there. The humidity lends itself to that sensation of higher temperatures anyway.
Personally, I stopped trying to be a weather warrior and I am quite content to retire to the conditioned environment of my three ton HVAC which cools quite well, particularly in the presence of my brand new 4500 sq ft dehumidifier.
Suffice it to say I won't be purusing a lot of activity though there are many things I could and should be doing.
I'm getting way too old for the pursuit of heatstroke. I will attempt to maintain hydration and avoid the brunt of the hottest month of Summer !
