It is dramatic. One day it is hot, over 90 in the shade and everyone complaining. Then the rains and winds appear followed by thunder and lightning. The next time you go outside, the temperature has dropped 25 or 30 degrees, and the day is sunny and cool and beautiful. For the third time since we have arrived this time, it has happened exactly like that. Everyone you meet talks about the wonderful cool weather. Often it does not last long so the next day it will often be back to 90.
This time, people are overjoyed to hear the forecast that we will have several days of temperatures in the 60s and low 70s. In the middle of the night, the front came through, but Ken and I were not aware, so this morning we wore shorts and light shirts and sandals, as yesterday was hot. When we left the condo for our doctors appointments the temperature was 65. We looked ridiculous with everyone else in jeans and long sleeved shirts. But it is really true. The air conditioner is turned off and the window is open. Tonight we ate dinner outside on our patio overlooking the reservoir. Everyone walking by commented on the wonderful cool weather.
It is so different. In Nova Scotia, folks are wanting warmth but here in Mississippi, the people are overjoyed with the 65 degree weather. The conversations are exactly reversed. We just smile and agree.
