I went to the West Winds Brass Band concert tonight http://westwindsbrassband.org/concerts.php at Wagner Park. It started off a little warm, but by the concert begin time at 8 PM, it was obvious that the air was really cooling down, as in keeping with the reputation for West Texas nights. This has been an unusually warm summer and the nights do not cool off. We are used to cool nights even though the days are very warm.
Well tonight is different. I am hoping that it will cool off enough so that I can open the windows and shut off the air conditioner overnight. The reality is, now that I have windows that open, I am often able to do this many nights in June, and even some in July and August. But not this year. One weekend, in the morning, I opened the house, and although the temperature was reported at mid 70s, the air coming into the house felt hot, and I closed up the house.
The other good part of having a cool evening, is that we start with a cool morning, instead of the heavy, hot mornings we have had much of the month of June. Since tomorrow is the Independence Day celebration, starting with a cool morning will make the festival more pleasant.
