Hot, Cold, Sunny, Cloudy? Make up your mind please:)



Entry: #8

So I don't know if anyone is interested in the weather here, but I'll share anyways ;)

I think when most people think of Africa they think: HOT. Naturally that is what I was thinking. Now I know Kenya has its 'cold' season (which cold here means fall in the midwest), but that is usually in June and July and a little of August (so basically when we have summer, they have their 'winter'). So, I was assuming that most of our time here would be spent under the heat of the sun...but, we have actually been spending most of our days under the shade of the clouds. Granted we have had probably combined a week or two of sunshine (and boy does it get hot!), but the majority of our time here we have been experiencing cloudy weather. Which personally I don't mind! I mean I know it will start getting hot more frequently as the months go by, but I am very content to stay under the clouds for a while longer:) My reasons you may ask? Well A. Since we are by the equator the sun is Super hot when it is out (there really is no mild heat here) B. When it is cool out I don't have to do as much laundry (because they don't get all sweaty!) and C. It reminds me of fall, and since I will be missing that season (one of my favorites) I am thankful to experience it a little bit here :)

Well, there is not much else to say...I mean it rains sometimes (actually only about 2 or 3 times so far) and it cools down quite a bit at night so I usually am wearing a jacket in the evenings. It seems if it was a really hot day out the evening will be very cool.

Yeah, so that is the weather I have experienced thus far. Sorry this post is not super thrilling!

Hope all is well state-side! Enjoy Fall for me!!
