Late Autumn Rain

10

Tuesday 18 November, 2014 by Uncle Spike

September 20th – that’s the date set in our diary each year that usually signals the end of summer, and the start of autumn. It’s still pretty warm by then, early 30’s I would say (90 ish F), but that’s the date that the first storm usually rolls on through.

After that initial storm, it’s back to sun and relative heat for another two or three weeks. Then another storm, sun, and so on. The regularity of the storms increases – now every 10 days – until it’s one or two storms every week during winter.

.

Right now we are ‘in between’ storms. It’s gone past mid November, and it’s sunny, clear and warm-ish at 23 (74F), but these were our hills a few days ago. Loving the change from ‘nothing but sun’…!
