Today I will tell you about the rain and the extreme heat and the crazy weather here in Evanston. When we first came, the first couple of days were very hot and humid. Then on the first day of tennis camp it started raining with very gray skies. It was gray and chilly the whole week and then the sun showed up a little on Sunday. The next few days were still cloudy and then all over the news broadcasts they said it would be very hot on Thursday and Friday and they were right. On Thursday it was 88 degrees and then on Friday there was an extreme heat wave and it was 98 degrees, with a heat index of 105-110 degrees. The heat wave also affected Saturday which was 96 degrees, with a heat index of 105-110 degrees. This heat has been affecting a lot of people, especially babies and the elderly without air-conditioning. Luckily we have AC here in Momo and Jiji's house. Also, I became aware of the importance of drinking a lot of water to avoid dehydration which can cause heat stroke and other problems. So drink a lot of water!! But the heat wave doesn't only affect humans. Plants and animals begin to whither and die without enough water. For Izzy and me this weather is unusual because in San Diego, we rarely have this kind of heat or humidity. I was hoping that we would get a break from this in D.C. where we are going on Tuesday. But the news says that it's
just as bad there. I must remember to drink a lot of water!

Well DEFINITELY drink lots of water and maybe don't wear your arm sleeves?? lol. :) It's been upper 90s and 100% humidity here in Tokyo too so I know how you feel. I feel gross all the time. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's been pretty hot here in Texas, and, even though we have this weather a lot, we still have to be really careful and drink a TON of water. Hang in there!!!
