We work along the Gulf Coast and this year is not nearly as hot as it has been say 5 or 6 years ago.
I keep records of each day we work...the temp, hot, sunny, rain, cloudy etc etc
That way the next year if we are up or down, I can look back and say, "Oh, we got rained out that day"
Or "damn the heat index was 110, and the people did not come out as usual. "
So I keep up with the weather.
And this year, it is not as humid for one thing and in the evenings, it is actually cooling off.
Where as in the past, you would still be sweating like a fool at 9 pm, wiping your face off with a towel.
One year will be a rainy year.
One will be a dry year where the crops burn up (been awhile since we've seen that).
One year will be so damn hot and humid you feel like you are about to suffocate.
Then back to being a mild year.
(same with the winter time, it varies)
Point being, it fluctuates and with us working outdoors, we are very in-tune to any changes that occur.
And this year, it is cooling off very nicely in the evenings, which is welcomed down here.
