The View from My Chair

Posted by Karen of Scottsdale on September 7th, 2006 in life in Scottsdale, weather reports

We actually had a day under 100° Fahrenheit.  We went out for a bite to eat at lunchtime and I noticed the air felt slightly different.  The sun felt good and not overbearing like it usually does.  The temperature was about 90° and it was wonderful.  Right now, a little after 5 p.m., it’s 87° and it feels really good outside.  There is sort of a brisk feeling to the air, probably because the humidity is around 49% — but it doesn’t feel muggy at all.  For those of you who live in northern climates you probably think I’m crazy for thinking there is a brisk feeling to the air when it’s 87° outside.  But trust me, it’s there and it feels wonderful!  It won’t be long before I start wearing long sleeves again — that’s when the temperature reaches about 70°.  Anything below 70 and I’m cold.  I guess I’m really a lizard at heart!
