And coming to a town near you...HEAT!

Mornin'! The "Heat Wave" continues today. It's currently 80 degrees in WW and that's before the sun just began to show it's lovely, bright, orange, self. Not a leaf moving on the trees once again. Basically, it's the same blog as yesterday...hazy, hot, humid, heatwave. Temperature is heading to the mid-upper 90's. There's a 10% chance of a thunderstorm later and that percentage goes up tomorrow. I'd keep watering the garden if I were you. The breeze (when it begins) will be 10-15mph and I see the weather folk are saying a SE seabreeze today! That remains to be seen, but let's be optimistic! High tide is 4:33p.m. and ocean temp is 75 degrees. So, summer continues and we know what that means in WW...a beach day! Oh...a few things to keep in mind..."hydrate" and keep drinking water, "hot" sand so wear footwear; "sunburn"...wear sunblock and a hat; "money" for the fudgy-wudgy man.

We're having a Heat Wave...

Mornin'! Whew...it's already a bit steamy and warm in WW. Currently 78 degrees, sunny and still. It'll heat up today into the high 90's and will be close to 100 degrees. (The mainland will reach triple digits!) There's currently not one leaf moving on the trees out front but the breeze we do get today will be from the NW at 5-7mph making it a hot breeze; especially when it flows across the intensely hot beach sand. One good thing is they're saying that breeze will turn SE later today...and that's an ocean seabreeze making that beach feel luxurious. Ocean temp is a refreshing 74 degrees and high tide is 3:39p.m. Another beach day for sure.

Hazy, Hot, Humid Monday

Mornin'! A little later than usual today, but the gridlock of the late night traffic kept me awake last night. Crazy 4th of July gridlock that we experience each and every year on the island as the crowds try and leave the island after the firework show exploding over the ocean. For some reason, the drivers think our section of the island (west of Park Avenue) will take them out and over the bridge and on their way home. It doesn't in some sections...they hit the harbor and a dead end. Oops...now try and get out...not gonna happen. What does happen...gridlock right outside my home. Horns beeping, impatient folks hollering, smokey burnouts everywhere...kinda ugly. Wish I had taken a photo of it. It didn't end until after 1a.m. putting a crimp in my rest time; even making me as irritable as the gridlockers. Ok... on to the weather...it's currently 81 degrees in WW. Breeze...westerly at 5-8mph. Temps will go way up into the 90's and may hit 100 in some areas. We're talking "hot sand". High tide is 1:52p.m. today. Water temp is 74 degrees. Another glorious beach day!

Hot, Happy 4th!

Mornin'! Here's the numbers and more...(how bout 300,000 on the beach yesterday?...just a guess)Happy 4th of July! Love typing that. It's the 4th! Happy 4th! Ok...back to the numbers...currently 74 degrees in WW without a cloud in the sky. (you know the kind...bright, deep, vivid seashore blue sky). Going up to 90 today in WW. Humidity is 58%. Breezes from SW at 5-11 mph. High tide is 1:52pm and water temp is 74. Tomorrow: the same with more heat. Today...the last of today's numbers...a "10" for the 4th! Happy 4th of July!

Almost the "4th"!

Happy Independence Day Weekend and a very good mornin'! If you're not in WW yet (but it looks like just about everyone's here now), bring the suit and beach towell. It's a beach day! It's currently 66 degrees in WW this morning with sun up shining brightly and not a cloud in the sky. There's a 5-10mph westerly breeze and the soups back on. Today's heat will bring the humidity back and we'll see temps in the upper 80's...87/88 degrees possibly. That heat will be simmering the soup as the next heat wave is now on the back burner and beginning to simmer. By Monday...near 100 again so I'm hearing. Oh yeah. Ocean temp is 74 and high tide is 1:04pm this afternoon. See ya on the beach and no sniveling!

Heading into a perfect holiday weekend!

Mornin'! It's all good. It's currently 61 degrees in WW with sun shining brightly. The cool morning seabreeze is filling the house and creating a smile on my face. The breeze will continue today from the north at 10-15mph. The humidity will be staying low today as the temperature rises to high 70's and may even reach 80. Perfect. Ocean temp is approximately 73-75 degrees and high tide is 12:19 this afternoon. Now as for this holiday weekend...still looking 5-star but 3 important words to remember..."warmer each day" as the temps will be in the 90's by the 4th. I'll be watching and smiling and blogging.

Happy July!

Mornin' and a very happy 1st of July! I'm still reflecting on the 5 months that have passed since that big ol' winter storm that socked us in for a week. The thought of summer is what pulled us through that intense week and here it is July 1st. It's still amazing to me that time flew by that quickly. It's currently 61 degrees in WW this gorgeous morn. The sunrise is over and the sun is blaring through the porch windows. Just lovely. There's a 10-15mph breeze out of the NW and there's plenty of sun and breezes for the entire day. Ocean temp is between 74-77 depending on which beach you're on. High tide is 11:58a.m. today. The weekend continues to look like a July 4th holiday weekend should look...5 star. This gorgeous weather will stay around but each day the heat creeps back until we're looking at the air conditioner and deciding whether to turn it back on or not. I'll be blogging!
