Time to change??
The Twitter-verse lit up yesterday with the #1 trending topic being the permanent switch to keeping Daylight Saving Time. No falling back. Unanimous senate approval is now ready for the House and, perhaps, ultimately President Bidenโs signature. Known as the Sunshine Act, if this goes through weโll never change our clocks again.
Going forward an hour with ease
Springing forward and falling backward seems to be a no win--in the fall we are happy to set clocks back an hour for that extra hour of sleep, but not happy with earlier dark skies. In spring, when we happily get that daylight back by setting clocks an hour forward, we complain that we lose an hour of sleep!
Sleep In Sunday! But Why?
My friends, Tim and Stephen, played it smart with Daylight Saving Time---they were in Puerto Vallarta last weekend and got an extra hour of sleep as Mexico went back one hour last Sunday. Now this weekend back home in Texas, theyโll get another extra hour of sleep! You may remember back in 2007 when President Bush changed the โchange dayโ to the first weekend in November rather than the last weekend in October---too much danger in the dark during Halloween for trick-or-treaters. Mexico stuck with the original so if youโre looking for extra hours of sleep consider that trick next time! But this is what we have for us this Sunday:
Warm weather heading into the weekend
Winds are turning back onshore and with a southeast breeze moisture is slowly and surely returning to Southeast Texas. Expect a warm and slightly more humid Thursday afternoon. Thursday AfternoonWith more moisture in place patchy fog could be an issue for the Friday morning commute as well as our weekend mornings. Fog Friday MorningThis surge of moisture and unseasonably warm weather is ahead of a couple cold fronts on the way. The second front next Tuesday will cut temperatures slightly returning seasonable weather, afternoon temperatures in the low 70s, back to Houston for Thanksgiving.
