Dog Days of Summer

I think I know what they mean by the "Dog Days of Summer," as they are now upon us. The temperature has been running in the high 80s to low 90s everyday for over a week now. The humidity is nearly 100% even in the overnight hours. Air conditioners struggle to keep up and really are only making the temperature bearable. It is so hot, you can break a sweat just watching TV!

At least we have the wonderful fall season to look forward to. The fall is perhaps the most pleasant time of the year in the Southport area. The temperatures moderate, the humidity falls and a nice autumn breeze seems to roll in from the ocean perpetually.

Fall is the perfect time of year for golfing, fishing, antiquing, garage sales and just about any other outdoor activity you can think of.

If the "Dog Days of Summer" have you feeling a little blue, don't despair, Labor Day weekend and the start of the fall season is just around the corner!!!
