  The mornings are still quite humid, so one does arrive home from a walk rather damp. If you're out on a golf cart, do mind the guidelines—they’re there to keep the roads safe, even when the skies aren’t.

  Rainy season’s average end date is today, though one doubts the clouds check a calendar. Morning walkers: prepare for puddles and that humid drenched feeling to linger a while longer.

  The morning started promising enough for walking, but the humid blanket wrapped itself back around by eight. Skies look heavy toward Royal Palm Beach now, so the afternoon storm may be early—I'd as soon not walk through that again.

  One hopes the weather will cooperate for the tech class at the community center on the 23rd. If it’s still this warm, I’ll be grateful for the air con inside. Worth checking the forecast closer to the day if you’re planning to go.

  If you're planning any tree-trimming, remember it’s hurricane season until the end of November. Per Village code, all debris must be removed within seven days—no leaving it for weekly yard waste pickup.
