I had to check my calendar today to make sure it was really mid-October. There was a hint of fall in the air Friday night while I was sitting in the stands watching my son play football. Boy was that ever short-lived.
The relative humidity returned with vengeance today and forecasters are calling for highs in the 90s and lows in the 70s into the weekend. That's 7 to 10 degrees above normal for this time of year, and what I'd expect to see during the summer. This time last year the low temperatures were already dipping into the mid- to low 50s.
Not only that, the tropics have been keeping folks at the National Hurricane Center on their toes. They've been watching a couple of areas, one in the southern Gulf of Mexico and another in the Caribbean Sea. Again, that's reminiscent of an August or early September weather pattern.
Could it be global warming? Or is it just one of those odd years when the weather patterns don't fit the mold? What's your take?

I hope not. My utility bill runs $60 to $70 a month already and I didn't even have to water this summer. Of course, the city raised water rates on Oct. 1.
