San Antonio Climate Bars Heat for Summer Outings
The North Atlantic seaboard and inland towns like Sutherland Springs offer climates that temper summer heat. San Antonio averages 69 degrees annually with July at 82, much cooler than New York. Del Rio benefits from Santa Rosa breezes, El Paso features high altitude dryness and wide temp swings, while midsummer nights stay cool and dry. A border summer may be more pleasant than expected.

Rudyard Kipling reportedly heard his Recessional for the first time at the Lord Kitchener memorial service in Westminster Abbey. Arthur Sullivan had earlier failed to set the poem to music, Kipling suggested his own possible future setting, and the abbey service used Dyke's Melita as the tune, which Kipling dismissed as a drone.
