Indian Summer

This past week was a nice one. Comfortable temperatures, sunshine, and even a day of rain. However, a large High pressure to our east is currently ushering in very warm air which is sending our daily max temps 10+ degrees above average. Feels like an Indian Summer. (OSNW3 October Observations)
