Walking in Nature

It’s hot. So hot that it’s probably safe to say that the whole world is experiencing and complaining about this horrid summer heat. If anything, I’m so glad that the summer weather didn’t truly kick in until July arrived. That cool spell in June was a gift from above. But it was that cooler weather in June where we could easily go on walks without a care to the time of the day it was. Now, it just seems way too hot to go for a walk, regardless of the time of the day.

Okay, I’ll take that back. If you’re an early bird, walking in nature is possible prior to 10 am. Once it reaches 10:30 am, you start to feel the heat which could be a treat for anyone that enjoys being outdoors in super sunny weather.

The irony of it all is that you’d think it’d be hottest around noon except noon time actually isn’t the hottest part of the day this summer. It’s actually around 3 pm or 4 pm when the temperatures hit its peak.

I don’t know about you but all I can say is no thank you!

There have been things I want to do, see and explore, only to skip out of at the end because the weather just isn’t in my favor.

Just the other day, a place I planned on visiting was forecasted to be around 96 degrees. I know the occasional breeze will be helpful in the great outdoors but I still did not want to risk being outdoors under such weather conditions. (Desert dwellers are probably laughing at me right now and rightfully so. It’s not like I’ve never managed at 110+ degrees before, but if I have the option not to deal with such weather, I will gladly opt out.)

So, in this weather, how has everyone been tending to their outdoor exercise routines or nature fixes, even? What have you all been doing under the hot summer sun?
