It’s been incredibly hot for the PNW this week. High 97F today. I’m thanking my trees for helping to keeping my home cool by providing shade and cooling the surrounding air through evaporation. Shading blocks direct sunlight, reducing surface and air temperatures by as much as 20–45°F (11–25°C). Evapotranspiration is the process where trees absorb water through their roots and release it as vapor through their leaves, which absorbs heat from the air and cools it. Natures cooling system. Occasionally I have turned on the AC for a few minutes. I do run the fan occasionally to help distribute the cooler air inside the house.
In just 2 days from now, it is predicted that this front from India is going to move over to Karachi. So more unusually heavy rains are expected - The countdown now starts...
This guy is having fun with his family in the rain. The video unfortunately isn't in English, but it doesn't need to be, as you'll be able to see and understand everything. It just shows how an average family here deals with such weather. Video starts when rains start and kids are sent back home from school very early. So what's a dad got to do? When Mom isn't home, (but has left a shopping and groceries list), he himself isn't going to work because of the rain. And kid's school too closed until further notice.

Funny, as 20°C is our winter temperature. Which will arrive in late December, and go away in early January.
