June Gloom in July

We used to live at the beach, so we know what June gloom means. This morning, in Borrego, we awoke, looked out the window and there it was...a month early...another example of this crazy weather pattern!
When you can't see the Santa Rosa mountains from our house it is either due to a dust storm , heavy rain or monsoon moisture. June gloom at the beach differs from Borrego...it is COOL. Here, it is HOT!
Air so heavy you can feel it, taste it, smell it. And, the humidity is only hovering around sixty percent...an outside temperature of 88 degrees will feel like 94 degrees. As the day progresses, the temperature will rise and the comfort level will decline. This, we know from experience. Borrego usually basks in clear bright sunlight and experiences very low humidity. This, we also know: Swamp coolers are worthless during monsoon periods. You definitely need to turn on the air conditioning, regardless of the cost!
When the first monsoon appears, we feel great expectations...probably shared by all inhabitants of desert regions throughout the centuries. We hope for the thunder, lightning and drenching rains that will renew and revitalize the desert, filling tinajas and providing for all the desert creatures and plants. As for us, when we open our next bill from San Diego Gas and Electric, we won't be too surprised!
