Relief from the heat

Late August is when the first cold front worthy of the name rolls through, bringing temporary relief from summer heat. One front passed through earlier in the week and another today (Friday). While temperatures have not dropped a lot, they have receded from the upper 90s and lower 100s from just a few weeks ago. The fronts also tell us that autumn, and somewhat cooler temperatures, are coming. It will still get warm, but not oppressively hot for a prolonged period.

The outlook for autumn is for warmer than normal temperatures to continue as the La Nina pattern in the equatorial Pacific continues into winter.
