Well, there is no question about it, summer is definitely here in Palm Springs. Since May it's been hitting a high of hundred degrees, which is seasonal for the desert. However, this week is shaping up to be an especially hot week. Here is the forecast for this Tuesday: Hot. Temperature near 100 in the morning. The temperature will be near 120 in the afternoon. Clear and very warm (89) during the evening. Clear and very warm overnight. (For those of you using Celsius, that's a high of 49 and a low of 30!) But I don't complain. I actually like the heat.
Keeping cool is easy! Here is my revolutionary 3 step program to stay cool and survive these hot summer days:
#1 A Shady Spot: a corner of the yard with some shade and misters. Here in our dry desert climate, misters drop the temperature by as much as 15 degrees. Or, alternatively you could always find a "Mr" to fan you and feed you grapes.
#2 A Refreshing Pool: either for dipping or laps, as long as it gets you wet!(the pool, that is)
#3 Refreshing Cocktails: Frozen or on the rocks, after a few of these you won't worry about the heat (or anything else for that matter).
