Back to the Felt

[photobyalan]

Well, here it is June, and we're having a Nor'easter here in the NY area. Temp 59 degrees and raining. I've been wearing the Panama for a good solid two weeks now, but today I'm going back to the felt.

Is it true that you folks in San Diego actually get bored with the nice weather?

This morning is a trench coat and brown fedora kind of day for me.
When is this weather supposed to lighten up? I am on the lookout for a Summer straw.

 

[Hemingway Jones]

We're in the same situation up here. I haven't worn my Panama yet this season and I am looking forward to doing so, but the weather must be consistently above 60 degrees.

Come on down to the Gulf Coast.....you'll have PLENTY of opportunities to break out the straw!

We are an hour north of SD. Don't believe the rumors of constant perfect weather...lol. Its myth. Rain, fog, wind, heat humidity, hail all happen here as well, though not to the extent as other areas of the country to be sure. June Gloom is in effect now So its slightly chilly 63 and very overcast in the morning, then this afternoon it will reach into the 90's or better. While neither of those temps are drastic in themselves...a 30 degree change from very overcast to bright sun can be anoying when dressing for the day. Ok...I figure that the "cyber stones" will be thrown shortly from REALLY harsh weather areas....getting out my protective gear. lol

You want annoying weather? The midwest takes the prize. Humidity here is a killer in the summer, making even yesterday's relatively pleasant temps very uncomfortable. The winter replaces humidity with howling winds. With no mountains, it whips through the area from November to March.

In Orlando, the weather lady said that the cold fronts coming through would drop us below 90 degrees. Early June and it's already hitting high numbers[huh] . July and August are the worst. The best times of the year are October and Late April/Early May. Perfect beach weather.

Here in the SF Bay Area, we definitely have Panama hat weather. 75 degrees or higher and what a pleasure after one of the rainiest winters in history...KC

It has been in the 90's for almost a week now in northern Colorado, with another week of the same forecast. Average highs are in the high 70's for this time of year - go figure! I heard the weatherman say yesterday that we were about 10% humidity, so that's certainly not bad (if you're not a plant).

Definitely straw weather, so I'm wearing mine - although I'm frustrated because I have three newly blocked hats but can't wear them till my birthday this Sunday.

I have my two summer hats by the door. A Biltmore Panama and a Akubra Military. I check the weather on line in the morning and choose what one to put on that day. Last week it was about 32 so I wore my panama, this week its about 19 and raining so its back to the Military. Just like anything else in life I take it day by day.

I sure hope those temperatures are Celsius, Johnnycanuck!

That or the temperature drops 40 degrees when you cross the 49th parallel.

Well, speaking for Northern California---NO.
What we do get tired of is 40 straight days of rain. :rage:

Wore my Panama three times in the last three weeks,
we get a touch of nice weather then we are pelted
with heavy rain for days on end.
Not as bad out here as it is near Boston.
Great for ducks and frogs but not for me.
