1 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: Good Morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. 3 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: Today's tip is to check the weather, especially before travel 4 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: or any sort of adventure. You want to be ready 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: to enjoy yourself fully whatever as in the forecast. Even 6 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: on ordinary days. You don't want to be distracted by 7 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: being too hot, too cold, or too wet because you've 8 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: forgot an umbrella. Here in my part of the world, 9 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: the weather is highly variable at this time of year. 10 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: Fall days can be sunny and gorgeous, with temperatures in 11 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: the high sixties or even the seventies. They can also 12 00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: be quite frosty. Sometimes it rains, it has as in fact, snowed, 13 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: So I make it a habit to check the weather 14 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: every morning this time of year. But honestly, it pays 15 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: to check the weather every day unless you live somewhere 16 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: where it is always sunny in seventy degrees or always 17 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: cold but the exact same level of cold. And I 18 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: have no idea where that might be the reason to 19 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: do this. Well, I've had some close calls, and probably 20 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: you have to. When my family traveled to Yosemite in 21 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: the late summer, a few years ago, I knew we 22 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: were going to need jackets for chilly nights. Then I 23 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: checked the weather and realized that the lows were actually 24 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: supposed to be in the mid thirties. That is hat 25 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: and glove weather, not just jackets. I traveled to Missouri 26 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago and figured it would be standard 27 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: early fall weather. Nope, they were having a degree heat wave. 28 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: Us to pack for it. Though. That said, I still 29 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: brought a sweater because my experience is that if it 30 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: is hot outside, all business oriented indoor spaces will be freezing. Hotels, 31 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: conference centers, airports. I hate that this is true because 32 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: it seems like a waste, but people do seem to 33 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: like to crank up the air conditioning. If I get 34 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: stuck in a cold airport for a long time with 35 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: no socks and no sweater, I am going to be miserable. Now. 36 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: To be sure, you can often buy sweatshirts places. My 37 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: family has a fine collection of sweatshirts from various spots 38 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: on the New Jersey shore where it was summer until 39 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: suddenly it wasn't. Still, given that, you probably have a 40 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: million sweatshirts at home. Not to mention umbrellas, It's better 41 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: to save some money and know what you're facing. So 42 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: check the weather in the morning. Just open the weather 43 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: app on your phone and see what it says. Or 44 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: if you don't like to check your phone in the morning, 45 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: which I totally understand, do it the night before. Then 46 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: think about where you'll be going. Bring a layer if 47 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: it makes sense. A travel umbrella or a poncho can 48 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: be quite tiny and quite useful. They are great to 49 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: have on hand when you do need them. I know 50 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: people love to complain about weather forecasts, but the truth 51 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: is that they are correct more often than they are not. 52 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: Avail yourself of them and you will be far happier 53 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: and more comfortable wherever you wind up in the meantime. 54 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: This is Laura, Thanks for listening, and here's to making 55 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: the most of our time.
