The first week of September is basically August’s awkward encore. Highs might still creep into the upper 80s or low 90s if you’re unlucky. Humidity? Oh, it’s hanging around like that friend who doesn’t know when the party’s over.
Don’t pack away your sunscreen just yet. You’ll still get that sticky, “I-showered-20-minutes-ago-and-I’m-sweaty-again” feeling. Delightful, right?
But here’s the twist: the nights start to get spicy—in a good way. Evening temperatures might dip into the low 60s, giving you that first real taste of sweater weather. It’s a tease, but we’ll take it.
The “Will It Rain?” Game
September is notoriously indecisive. One day you’ll get a perfect blue sky; the next, a pop-up thunderstorm crashes your picnic. And by “pop-up,” I mean it appears from nowhere, dumps an inch of rain, and vanishes like it owes someone money.
These storms are often short, but intense. You know, the kind that makes you sprint for cover while carrying a bag of groceries and yelling at the sky. Been there.
Here’s a pro tip: if you see a gray cloud and feel a drop, don’t assume it’s a lasting shower. Wait five minutes. Seriously. It might be just a tantrum, not a monsoon.
