Well here it is again, monsoon season. This time of year brings mixed emotions for me. On one hand, we get rain and the temperatures are lower, but on the other hand, the rains bring up the humidity to this usually dry climate. I can usually handle the dry heat (feels like an oven), but the humidity makes it hard to breathe sometimes and makes me feel like I constantly need a shower.
The definition for a monsoon is “a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by seasonal changes in precipitation, but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea. It is also referred to as the rainy phase of a seasonally-changing pattern, although technically there is also a dry phase.” Whatever, the weather is uncomfortable and the skeeters are out in droves. The only thing I like is the rain. We don’t get enough of that here.
