August in June

Good God, look at this forecast, from the Weather Channel’s Web site, for the beginning of June. That’s 10+ degrees hotter than normal for this month — these are August temperatures.

I went outside last night after 9:00 and it was like being rolled up in a hot, wet blanket. The temperature and the humidity was oppressive even with the sun down and the sky dark.

When I park my car in the driveway or a parking lot, now, I have to remember to roll my car windows down and put up the windshield shade. This past weekend, I forgot to do that both days, and when I got in to drive a couple times, it was like being in an oven.

It’s just turned June for cryin’ out loud. Come on! We barely had any Spring temperatures and weather and we’re jumping right into Summer?

When I was a kid, Summer was my favorite season. It was hot, school was out, and my birthday was in Summer. Now that I’m an adult, Spring has become my preferred season — it’s warm, not hot. I want my Spring! Don’t cut me short on Spring! I want to complain to the management.
