Our Palm Springs temperatures have been about ten degrees lower than average all this spring.

Very nice.

But a bit mysterious as there is no explanation that I can get through and understand.

Everything depends first of all on the Pacific flow. This year there was El Nino. Maybe that is it.

But then El Nino was said to be weak and had little other manifestations upon us. No rainy February. No dark days.

The first year we came here we arrived in February and had rain every day. Typical until recently.

I am not a skeptic about climate change but I don't think much about it. Most of the predictions have been such that most of the changes are going to happen after I am dead. Another idea that is hard to comprehend. Me? Not to exist?

But that is another blogpost sometime.

It is typical of the desert to be unpredictable. The person who has the unenviable role as weather-person has to live with being wrong almost all the time.

But wrong in a subtle way. Temperatures maybe. Rain perhaps.

But this cool weather is a major outlier.

Maybe someone can tell us what and why?

Until then and even after I will enjoy the late heat and bask in the moderation of today's climate.
