While astronomical summer doesn't end until the fall equinox September 22, meteorological summer is drawing to a close, and it sure does feel like fall. Temperatures this week will stay on the cool side, barely cracking 80 until Thursday, with clear skies and moderate breezes.

If you think this summer's been particularly mild....it has! We've only had three days where official temperatures were in the 90s—which is tied for the second-fewest since 1942. [Accuweather, Trib, NWS]
