The temperature was in the 80s again yesterday. I am not sure if it was quite as warm as it was the day before. It may have been a little cooler, thanks to the constant clouds, but it sure was muggy.

The forecasters sure were right about yesterday. The temperature was in the 90s. Radio reported a reading of 92° when I left the office.

Not much cooling was expected overnight. The forecasters said our low would be 72°. It was 69° when I woke up.

The forecasters say temperatures will be cooler over the next week — with cooler being a relative term. Highs won't be in the 80s and lows won't be in the 70s. They will be a bit lower than that — but not for long, I'm sure. After all, we're more than one–third of the way through May.

Sunday was a relatively mild day. It was sunny all day, but my guess would be that the temperature remained in the 70s. It was probably only a few degrees below what it was the day before. Nevertheless, the temperature was lower. I am fairly certain of it.

Last night's low was expected to be in the mid–50s. It was 55° when I woke up. Rain came into the area overnight and was still coming down when I got up.
