Late Summer is Here!
Strangely enough, this year we have been gifted the occurrence of Late Summer early in Summer and persistent since late November.
The skies are dark, lightning pierces the night and day interspersed by an occasional very hot day.
One thing that is consistent is the humidity!
Late summer is normally a feature of more tropical countries and often comes in the last two weeks of summer, after the Fire phase which is hot and dry.
Given our current climate, we will cover Late Summer now, and the Fire phase when it becomes relevant!
The main concern with Late Summer weather is the invasion of Summer Heat. This is a combination of heat exhaustion and excessive dampness which causes sweating that worsens exhaustion.
The humidity means that our thirst for fluids it diminished and our desire to cover ourselves as we normally would from the sun can be neglected.
