Today is amazing. And you are stuck inside working. This should be changed immediately.
After surviving the long, awful, disgusting summer – today, residents of The Coachella Valley are being treated to a truly beautiful day. These were the temperatures this morning:
Coachella Valley Area Temps NOW!
Another Autumn-like day for the Coachella Valley with highs around 80-degrees.@KESQ pic.twitter.com/6aWgLRFSsb— Jerry Steffen™ KESQ (@JerrySteffen) October 5, 2015
So much yes! Honestly, I had forgotten 60 degrees even existed.
And things are not warming up too much from there – with highs expected to be only in the low to mid 80s today.
Wohoo! 4 pm temperatures around the deserts and mountains can't get much better than this! #CAwx pic.twitter.com/2uGLW5Tuga

On a day like today, no one should be forced to work inside in The Coachella Valley.
No, today should be a day to truly take in some beautiful weather and do all of the things you have been thinking of while couped up for months and months:
- Turn off the A/C and open the windows
- Be outside for 30 seconds without sweating
- Wear a sweater (yes rest of the country, 80 degrees sounds hot for a sweater…but us desert folk own one or two of them and so we have to wear them at some point)
- Go hiking without being rescued by emergency crews
- Enjoy a pumpkin spice latte in weather that actually feels like fall
- Put up outdoor Halloween decorations without fear of them immediately melting or catching fire
- Feel like an actual human being for the first time in 5 months.
Temps are going back up as the week goes on and it looks like The Coachella Valley will hit the century mark again late into the week and into the weekend – so yeah, ugh.
But today…oh today. What an amazing day it is going to be. You want to enjoy it. Your boss, though they won’t admit it, wants to enjoy it. Their boss is probably located out of town, so dammit – let’s all close up shop and enjoy it!
Lord knows, there won’t be too many of these days to enjoy by ourselves before you-know-who comes back to town – so I am going to stop typing, you stop reading, everyone leave work, and let’s go outside already!
Well, except for the poor baristas who are going to have to make all of those pumpkin spice lattes all day.
