Meteorological Fall brings start of summery weather

It almost couldn’t be any more ironic. The start of Meteorological Fall, which falls annually on September 1st,  has typically been a fairly good indicator of when the summer weather would end and give way to more fall-like conditions. This year, however, the summery weather has in fact waited until the start of meteorological fall to get underway. Temperatures on Tuesday, which obviously still falls within calendar/astronomical summer, will reach into the mid 90’s. Making matters worse, rising humidity will lead to heat index values in the upper 90’s. The heat and humidity will become borderline oppressive — and we suggest taking time away from the sun and making a conscious effort to remain hydrated.
