40. I've been loving this cool weather

Sun Aug 18, 2013, 06:17 PM

Aug 2013

we had this past week. Of course today, it's back to being in the low-to-mid 80s this afternoon in Oakland. But when it was cooler last week, I wasn't randomly sweating during the day, and it was cool enough at one point to where I didn't need to leave the patio door open.
Either way, I had better not get used to this warm weather for too much longer because this Saturday, it'll be time for me to go away to HSU. Coastal Humboldt, such as Arcata and Eureka, is known for having gray and cool weather almost all year. Even when I visited last month, it was only in the low 60s. I check the temperatures there sometimes for the Hell of it, and it is rare that I see the coastal towns reach the 70 degree mark. They give SF a run for its money when it comes to having cool summers.
