It's effin November and we still have high 80s and low 90s! I hate life right now. Now I was born and raised in NorCal and got used to winter starting in mid-October and December having an average temperature of high 40s or low 50s during the day. Winter doesn't end until late January, sometimes February. If you're used to this weather and like this weather, living in Riverside is like living in an eternal hell.
As I already had mentioned, it's early November and it still feels like summer. The sunlight doesn't last quite as long, but we still got that same ol' summer heat. WTF. We had a few times, but it was completely spontaneous. It started cooling down leading up to the rain, then we get thunderstorms, then the heat picks back up. Why?! I really don't understand. Back home, if rain is predicted, then you can expect to see rain for a week, maybe a week and a half.
Probably the best thing about the cold, is winter fashion. Rocking a clean bomber jacket with a hoodie underneath or swap out the bomber with a leather jacket over some faded jeans. Or if you like a classier look, throw on a peacoat over a zip sweater and some dark pants. If it's not too cold wherever you are right now, you can probably survive by just wearing a cardigan over a plain tee and some chinos. You can't really dress like this if you're in Riverside and if you do, you are something else. If you like doing summer things, like going to the beach, then Riverside and the places around it might be more for you. As for me and anyone else who likes cold weather, it's not so great. On the bright side, I only have to suck it for 2 more years.
