It is July, and summer is in full force in Daytona Beach. You walk outside of your home or simply step out of the air-conditioned car and you feel this dense balmy hot and humid air. Humidity is somewhere 76%-86% and I am glad that I can hide from it on the beach, where the breeze cools temperature down and makes it comfortable.

I guess there is a change in currents as the water in the Atlantic cooled down significantly. We already had 80F, but last couple of days it is 72F. Cold by our standards, but in hot summer it is very refreshing and does not stop anybody. Actually, our warmest ocean temperatures are in September, where they are higher than 80F.

Full Moon in Daytona Beach

Nights come down fast and these transitions from day to evenings are simply fascinating to watch. Today was full moon, and here what it looked like at 8:10 PM on our gorgeous beach in Daytona.

Wonderful shot Jon! There is something about a full moon over the ocean that really does it for me!

Yesterday was my oldest daughters birthday. She was born on a Friday the 13th, there was a full moon way back then too. (We were on the 13th floor of the hospital FYI, although it said 14th.... ) It was a great day way back when... full moon and all!

Ginny - actually I misse dthe best time. It was so beautiful, that I called my son and asked him to bring me the camera. All it too was less than 10 minutes, but by that time the sun was too low, and the surf was no longer pink.

Oh, well

Jon, you asked Ron how people lived here before A/C....I spent my teenage years in West Palm Beach in an old turn of the century home, NO A/C.  Miserable inside.  We lived on our front porches.  We had none in school either, and I had to wear uniforms.  I still don't use my a/c all the time.  I live on the water too in an older home and it is designed to catch the breeze.  Oh, you forgot the part in your description about how when we walk outside of the a/c in this dense, balmy moist air that our glasses fog up!  Thanks for the beautiful photo and post.  I love Florida!

Jon,

How beautiful, we are in a cooling trend here on the Pacific...we have our temperature in the mid 70's at the high point. What a beautiful photo, I love those Florida clouds, they are unlike any place else. LOL A

Karen - thank you. They are peaceful. And they are different every day. I went today and was trying to recreate the yesterday's scene, where I was 7-8 minutes late, but it was all different. The moon was not there at all, the ocean was choppier and the color was deeper. beautiful, but different

Christine - looks like you are out of luck with full moon today, I think it is a new moon today. Isn't it beautiful?

Jeanne - thank you for the history tour. I used to spend summers in the South in the USSR on the Black Sea. Summers were pretty similar to Florida, hot and extremely humid... and yes, we did not go inside until it was time to go to bed. Everybody were sitting on the front porch, eating grapes and talking.

Yep, my glasses fogg when you step out of the car, and the same and even worse problem with the camera. You have to wait quite some time till they adapt.

Thank you, Alexandra! Florida clouds are "independent". The level of evaporation is so high, that they accumulate water and then start raining from single cloud. You may have rain coming from one cloud falling here and 10 yards away people are sun bathing on the beach

Hi Jon, Great shot. If i didn't know any better, this could be the "Moon over Miami. Then again, The Miamians claim everything as if they owned it, LOL. Bet you didn't know that they claim the Atlantic Ocean as starting at  Miami Beach. LMAO
