November brought the beginning of the best time of the year here in Central Florida. It’s a pleasant 70 degrees F when I go outside at 8 am. Most days are intense blue skies with puffy white clouds. We’re officially winding down the hurricane season, but I still pay attention to the weather to know what’s happening. We’re expecting a cooler front to come from the north this next week. I don’t mind. Most of you who live in 4 season areas would think our cooler weather is a laugh.

A Day of Puffy Clouds
I’d like to thank all my readers who sent messages of concern last week when the hurricane blew by Florida. I sincerely appreciate your support. As expected here in central Florida away from the coast, we had a tropical storm warning (not a hurricane warning), rain, and wind. Yes, other areas were not so lucky. Tampa had extensive flooding and property destruction.
The next day was a regular sunny day with blue skies and puffy white clouds. I hope you enjoy the beautiful day I’m sharing. I wish you all beautiful days where you live.

Trees & Sky Views in September
Hurricane Helene is forecast to land in the big bend of Florida (the curve in the shape of the state) Thursday evening which is today. I’m writing this on Wednesday. Since my move to a more central location in the state, I no longer worry about being where the storms land. I will get wind and rain but less fierce, and my county is under a tropical storm warning. The worse that can happen is possible loss of power for a while, but I don’t really expect that to happen either.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
The post title reminds me of Mr. Rogers. Can’t you hear the little song? It’s playing in my head. I miss his sweet presence on television.
Today’s photos are Florida blue skies with little wispy clouds. I like how the clouds look. I hope you enjoy some Florida blue skies today.

I Love Blue Skies
Florida is known as the sunshine state. Blue skies with varying amounts of clouds is our norm. We have a dry season which is late fall and winter. Our wet season starts in May ususally and lasts all summer. Based on 51 years of data from 48 weather stations here, the average weather station in the state has 252 days during the year in which there is no rain, or 69 percent of the year. Some Florida cities here have even more sunshine than the average. St. Petersburg, Florida is known as the sunshine city. It has an average of 361 days of sunshine annually.

Lakeland’s Blue Skies
Weather here in central Florida is still cooler than I like, but the skies are beautiful. Blue skies with white clouds make a perfect day despite the temperature. (I know folks up north won’t think it’s cool.)
