So you think it's HOT?

This chart, which I pray you can see, is a month's worth of data from our little weather station on our roof here at Sandpipers.
The top chart is the temp highs and lows...everyday at or above 100 degrees.
Every night hovering around 80. If we are lucky it dips slightly into the 70's.
The second chart is the heat index...just what the temps feel like on our naked sweaty skin.
You'll notice the highs approach or exceed 110 degrees. That's getting ridiculous, folks!
Now, the next part of the chart is blank. Nada, zippo. That's because it measures the RAIN!
Then there is the wind. As you can see it's been pretty windy. Over 20 mph gusts...all the time. Put it all together and it's like we live in a blow dryer....or maybe the Sahara.
Just thought you'd like to know, as you enjoy your occasional rainy day or cool temperatures.

Now you are realizing why some prefer northern climates in the summer!!

Winter is a good time to be at Sandpipers.

In Ellsworth, ME the current temperature is 64 degrees after a high of 77 degrees with partly cloudy skies. Bill, Laura, Tom and Louise enjoyed touring Acadia National Park. Tomorrow we're going to Grand Manan to see Alan and Karen and a whole pod of whales!

We'll be back at Sandpipers as soon as you cool the temperatures down! The pool water should really be warmer than the air - at least part of the day!

Just remember it's 5:00 somewhere! Just a little earlier where we are!
