Indian Summer Season

Mornin'!  It's 52° in Wildwood NJ.  Happy October! The back porch thermometer hasn't seen that temperature since the end of April.  It's breezy N-NE at 17-20mph making it feel very chilly this morning.  Ms Sun's up and over the cloudy horizon.  She'll be shining today with cumulous clouds trying to block her rays much like yesterday.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 60s with breezes out of the N-NE at 8-12mph.  Tonight...mostly clear with temps back down into the upper 50s / low 60s and breezes out of the S-SE at 8-10mph.  Even though my favorite month is over, October and the season of Indian Summer is upon us!  Indian Summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that occurs in Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.  Research shows that the earliest known reference to Indian Summer occurs in an essay written by J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur in 1770.  Although the exact origin of the term is uncertain, it was perhaps first noted in regions inhabited by Native Americans and based on the warm and hazy conditions when Native Americans hunted.
