My wife’s nephew recently traveled to Guam to work on a project for the U.S. Navy. We decided to add some extra fun to our morning routine by asking Alexa for the Guam weather report each day.
Checking daily for most of July, the Guamanian weather was uncannily similar to Boston, MA; mid-nineties with an inescapable, permeating, stultifying humidity. Now, hazy, hot and humid is standard for New England summers. That’s nothing special. But, what is strange for these parts is that the obligatory thunder shower doesn’t signal the switch to cool weather. Instead, the thunderstorms come through, there’s an epic dousing and back to the Three H’s.
Well, we’ve been meaning to take a trip. Now, all we have to do during morning coffee is close our eyes and imagine we’re in Hagatna, Guam, USA!!!
