Weather

The weather here is both unpredictable and predictable. Essentially, every day the weather report says 30-40% chance of rain. But the weather website makes it seem like we have miserable weather here. Most of the time it's perfectly sunny with just a few white puffy clouds in the sky. When it does actually rain, it can be just a few drops or it'll soak you very thoroughly. However, it is usually just for a short while at a time - sometimes just 5 minutes - and then the sun comes out again.

Last night it rained pretty hard for about 30 minutes or so and woke both of us up. Rain is quite loud on our roof here. August is one of the rainier months apparently. But the sun still definitely shines and keeps us all warm even if we're temporarily wet from getting caught in the rain for a few minutes. The weather always seems fabulous under water too.

Last night after work, Dave and I went swimming at Magen's Bay again. So pretty and nice. The water isn't as sparkling at dusk, but the sunsets are pretty. The water temperature is about 84 during the summer here and gets down to 79 in the winter.

It's kind of funny. When it's rainy and grey out, I don't mind being inside my office looking out at the bay and the cruise passengers getting rained on. Yet, when it's sunny and hot, I don't mind being at work with the cool air conditioning. But the sunnier it is, the more I want to get out early and go for a swim....
