The tropical storms have been with us since the start of autumn. 3 out of the last 4 weekends have been been rain-filled. With the tropical storms we also got the warm and humid weather. I think this may be the last tropical storm for this hurricane season. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s and low 60s this week (15-17 Celsius). We are now into baseball playoff season weather. I love to sit outside at night with a blanket, warm water and listen to baseball on the radio.
