WEBVTT - Check the weather

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Good Morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is to check the weather, especially before travel

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.080
<v Speaker 1>or any sort of adventure. You want to be ready

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to enjoy yourself fully whatever as in the forecast. Even

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>on ordinary days. You don't want to be distracted by

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>being too hot, too cold, or too wet because you've

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>forgot an umbrella. Here in my part of the world,

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the weather is highly variable at this time of year.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Fall days can be sunny and gorgeous, with temperatures in

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the high sixties or even the seventies. They can also

0:00:55.360 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>be quite frosty. Sometimes it rains, it has as in fact, snowed,

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>So I make it a habit to check the weather

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 1>every morning this time of year. But honestly, it pays

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.479
<v Speaker 1>to check the weather every day unless you live somewhere

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>where it is always sunny in seventy degrees or always

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>cold but the exact same level of cold. And I

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>have no idea where that might be the reason to

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>do this. Well, I've had some close calls, and probably

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you have to. When my family traveled to Yosemite in

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the late summer, a few years ago, I knew we

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>were going to need jackets for chilly nights. Then I

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>checked the weather and realized that the lows were actually

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be in the mid thirties. That is hat

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and glove weather, not just jackets. I traveled to Missouri

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago and figured it would be standard

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>early fall weather. Nope, they were having a degree heat wave.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Us to pack for it. Though. That said, I still

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>brought a sweater because my experience is that if it

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:14.679
<v Speaker 1>is hot outside, all business oriented indoor spaces will be freezing. Hotels,

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>conference centers, airports. I hate that this is true because

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>it seems like a waste, but people do seem to

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>like to crank up the air conditioning. If I get

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>stuck in a cold airport for a long time with

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>no socks and no sweater, I am going to be miserable. Now.

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>To be sure, you can often buy sweatshirts places. My

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>family has a fine collection of sweatshirts from various spots

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 1>on the New Jersey shore where it was summer until

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>suddenly it wasn't. Still, given that, you probably have a

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>million sweatshirts at home. Not to mention umbrellas, It's better

0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>to save some money and know what you're facing. So

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>check the weather in the morning. Just open the weather

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>app on your phone and see what it says. Or

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>if you don't like to check your phone in the morning,

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>which I totally understand, do it the night before. Then

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>think about where you'll be going. Bring a layer if

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>it makes sense. A travel umbrella or a poncho can

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>be quite tiny and quite useful. They are great to

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>have on hand when you do need them. I know

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 1>people love to complain about weather forecasts, but the truth

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>is that they are correct more often than they are not.

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Avail yourself of them and you will be far happier

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and more comfortable wherever you wind up in the meantime.

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:55.200
