Lár an tsamraidh

Bíonn an aimsir níos mó teasa faoi deireadh ann. Nuair chuaigh Léna agus mise ar ais go dtí An Cathair na hÁingeal ó Naomh Crios, bhí sé níos fuath an tseachtaine seo caite. Bhí sé go hiontach agam, go fírinne.

Go lag, achan lá, d'fhásaim an teocht de réir a chéile. Chuala mé ar an nuacht go bhfuil is teas inniu. Mar sin, bím ag suí ina seomhra níos thíos staighre ag scríobh seo agaibh.

Mar sin féin, bíonn an samraidh mar is gnách, i ndáiríre. Tá mé mo gcónai anseo, mar caitheamh mé maireadh leis an aeráidh i gCalifoirnea. Ar ndóigh, is maith liom an aimsir ag timpeall an cathair seisean go minic.

Sílím go raibh ag teacht go luath an fior-samraidh seo. Bhí mí na Meitheamh go hálainn ann, go cinnte. Gnách a, beidh níos teo an mhí Iúil trí Deireadh Fomhair nuair bhínn Meitheamh níos fionnuar anseo.

Ach, d'fhoghlaim mé an tráthnóna seo go beidh mo láthair obair gan uisce. Tá chúis go bhfuil an tógála leanúnach ansin. B'fhéidir, bheinn an staid chéanna nuair a fhillfidh mé.

The middle of summer.

The weather's warmer lately. When Layne and myself came back to the City of the Angels from Santa Cruz, it was cooler this past week. It was great for me, truly.

Slowly, each day, the temperature grew gradually. I heard on the news that it's the hottest today. Therefore, I'm sitting in the room more downstairs to write to you all.

All the same, it's summer as usual, really. Living here, I must live with the climate of California. Of course, the weather around the city itself pleases me often.

I think that this "true" summer may be coming soon. The month of June was lovely, certainly. Customarily, the months from July through October will be hotter when June was cooler here.

But, I learned this evening that my workplace will be without water. The cause is that there's ongoing construction there. Perhaps, I shall be in that same situation when I return.  (Léarscáil/map: Almanac na Fheirmeoiraí/Farmer's Almanac 2012)
