It rained on Tuesday.
Things had been cooling off for the last couple weeks. And the weather reports had warned us of rain. I had put an umbrella in my car the night before, and I was not shocked to wake up to water falling from the sky.
Rainy days are an absolute mess at school. There's no real protection from the rain when the kiddos are changing classes or at lunch. And things flood.
But we muddle through. Sopping wet. At least I had high school, so they weren't deliberately jumping in puddles.
Some were disappointed that the rain let up in the afternoon. They were hoping practice would be cancelled. But, considering how hard it had rained, I pointed out that the fields were probably unsafe to practice on.
We don't usually get rain this time of year. Rain is more a December, January kind of thing. Usually this time of year it's pretty warm and the Santa Anas blow through. We worry about wildfires.
The next day it hadn't quite warmed up. Things were still damp.
As the class was getting ready to exit, one of the students, complaining of the cold, commented, "It feels like January".
I mean, it wasn't quite that cold, but I understood what she meant.
The weather is a bit off. But not really in a bad way. I had to put my blanket on my bed and dig out my long pants. SoCal winter is coming.
I feel like the weather hasn't decided yet what season it's leaning on. Lol! It just rained here today too. Mornings are chilly but midday is hot.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the weather's been off a bit. At least from normal.
DeleteMy nights are cold (well, cool I guess, 40s, but one was 39), but no frost yet. Days have been warm, but it looks like that changes next week. Still, it's later than last year, when the first frost was on Oct. 18. I like extra blankets, I like the weight! The dog decided not to sleep on the bed anymore, picked the sofa, so no more warm dog.
ReplyDelete40 would be considered cold here. Last night we got down to 59, and that's pretty cold for us.
DeleteRain rain go away?
ReplyDeleteNah, rain is good. Just not so much on school days. (Light rain is fine.)
DeleteI’ve lived in various parts of the United States, including Florida, Texas, Kansas, and New York State. It’s interesting to see the differences in weather depending on where you live but our weather in recent years has changed so much that it’s hard to predict what is coming next. And I’ll never forget the July day that I was in San Diego and it rained, and there were so many accidents on the roads because of the dust turning into a slippery mess. So I can guess what out of season rain can be like. On another topic, our peak Full color was normally around Columbus Day now it’s more the last week of October. But he still can get snow in November. As a result, the leaf season and snow season sometimes collide, and the results are not pretty at all.
ReplyDeleteRain in San Diego in June? Yeah, we don't expect that. Although, rain any time will create more accidents on the roads.
DeleteWhen my daughter tells me it rains there in LA, I am always happy for the air, ground, trees, and critters. And it is so rare....
ReplyDeleteI think the weather is "a bit off" everywhere. We're in a drought again.
