Yes, it will be a nice and cool night. However, tomorrow and Sunday are going to be near 80 F but fortunately it cools down nicely after that.

Temps have been in the mid 70s with clear blue skies the last couple of days... almost feels like Autumn

Low temp hit 40. I had to turn on the A/C last night. No joke.

Inside the house didnt want to cool off. It felt stuffy at 67 degrees so I needed a quick fix and turned on the A/C. My neighbors must think I'm nuts when they heard the thing go on while it was 45 degrees outside. LOL..

6 more months and counting. :-(

It is surprising, but given your circumstances the A/C burst was the best choice. It seems you took the same route I do, opening the house up to cool it off. 67F is fine with me, but if it's still stuffy (for you), and if the house didn't want to cool off, I would have done the same thing.

Ugh. Horrible, isn't it? In most of the U.S. the warm season is so long and the cold season doesn't show up half the time. Here's to the balance of our fantasy climates.

The key word there is "almost" .

Managed to reach 13°C today, a bit better than forecast.

It's rather an infuriating weather pattern we're in, with this northerly wind ruining late spring/summer. It's the same set up that dominated last summer. The typical feature of it is, that when higher pressure dominates, any moisture off the ocean forms into cumulus clouds by day from the surface heating, spreading into stratocumulus by noon/early afternoon making the days cloudy, then it magically becomes clear again by sunset. Clear cold nights, cloudy cold days. Screw northerlies. Last summer was the most boring ever recorded due to this rubbish, with no warmth and no thunderstorms.

[dunno what to put here]

The big difference between this spring and other springs in recent years is that April turned out wet and cold, and May is going down the same road.

2007 had the warmest and driest April ever (beaten in 2011) and 2008 had the warmest May ever.

We are definitely overdue a warm and sunny August maybe this year will deliver that
