The weather has been close to perfect. Every day temperature rises to 80 or so, then go down to around 60 overnight. It's rainy season here, so that late afternoon and early evening bring showers more than half the time, sometimes torrential showers. There are a lot of clouds during the day. When the sun is not covered by clouds, it's pretty intense. The weather forecasts always list the UV factor as "10+ Extreme."
What's really nice is that we have windows open all the time. No matter how hot it gets, it never gets too hot inside. And it never gets too cool.
After rainy season there will be long periods of time with little or no rain and the sun will be unimpeded. But the humidity will be low and it should be fine in the shade. I don't know exactly what it will be like, but I think I need a wide-brimmed hat. Another fashion problem. The hat I got at REI screams "gringo dork." I've seen other gringos wearing similar hats and it looks pretty bad.
The rainy season is June, July, August and September. July is actually the fourth rainiest month. As is typical in regions with a rainy season, the rain levels starts high, decrease somewhere in the middle, and then go back up again. I don't know why.
"gringo dork" would be a good name for a blog. But not yours. What do the locals wear for hats? How about a straw cowboy hat? Seriously, they wear 'em in Arizona. And we all know what a great place that is!
