As you can see from the above weather forecast for today, it doesn't change... at all. This is obviously the hour by hour for today. As you can see 78 is about as low as it gets with a high of 83. "scattered showers" meaning wear shorts but be prepared to get drenched even with blue skies above you when you least expect it.Everyone thinks of CA as a temperate climate zone, but it's nothing compared to here with a max of 5 degree change. Anyhow it keep us in shorts, t-shirts, and sandals every day all day and night.
.... ahh ok so my lovely wife just pointed out one large discrepancy in the Grenada weather pattern. There is a strong arctic breeze that focuses just inside each lecture hall dropping the temperatures to a sub-freezing 72 degrees. This of course requires students to bring blankets, electric heating pads, hooded sweatshirts, and jeans! This may sound like an exaggeration but I am actually not joking... at all! The students put up with sweating like crazy in jeans to stay warm during lecture. A large part of the problem or cause of them getting so cold is the interesting way in which SGU does the lectures. Unlike most everyone's undergrad classes where you scramble from classroom to classroom, at SGU the vet students stay in the same classroom (lecture hall) for three to four hours straight and the professors simply change. It's an odd concept but since everyone is taking the exact same classes at the same time it works pretty well. Why have 60 students run around when you can have three or four professors run around instead? :)
Perfect timing, as I've been writing this I've been noting the pretty blue sky, then in the last 30 seconds the blue sky has been replaced with gray clouds and it's down pouring gallons by the second. Needless to say you don't have to worry about washing your car very often here. :)
