I took a sudafed at 3:45. I hope it wears off by bedtime, because I'm feeling wired. It did help my sinus pressure, but boy does it mess with my brain. Yech.
"Rain" here doesn't mean the same thing, I have found out:
When the air is so warm/humid, it is quite unsettled. So you can get downpours, but they are very brief, and very isolated. For example: I once had it happen, shortly after I moved here, that the rain was coming down as a solid sheet. I was stopped at a stop sign in a residential neighborhood. The sun was shining on the other side of the street. Freaky!
When they say "40% chance of showers" or something, that usually means that approximately 40% of people might experience some brief shower at some point. And then the sun comes back out. The rest of the people have dry/sunny conditions.
That's quite funny. And tough to plan for, I imagine. Remember your umbrella!..
It is true that Florida has the most amazing little biomes, which we saw in the Everglades. A few miles away, the plant/animal life was totally different. Guess this could be one of the contributing factors, if some areas are prone to more wind/less tropical conditions!
