Summer in Los Angeles is officially here!<\/strong> After more than a month of cloudy, overcast skies and lower temperatures in Southern California, called \u201cJune gloom\u201d, the sun has finally showed up. Personally, I have to admit that I have been really enjoying that type of weather because it was pretty refreshing after all that heat and I am not that excited about next couple of months either. However, after living in Los Angeles for more than a year I can\u2019t even imagine the city without a sunny weather, it just belongs together.<\/p>\n

Before moving here I was afraid that there will be summer all year long and I\u2019m going to miss four seasons and colder weather. Yes, I definitely miss that but surprisingly last summer was much shorter than I expected. I would say that it was pretty much the same as in Europe, but the \u201cwinter\u201d was much warmer here ( I would call it \u201ccolder summer\u201d instead ), mostly cloudy and even rainy some days which is my favorite weather. People keep asking me why I moved here if I don\u2019t like the sun\/heat that much and I just smile haha.<\/p>\n

My first summer in Santa Monica was pretty miserable, I will never forget it. First of all because I am not a summer person and don\u2019t enjoy the heat but mostly because of the apartment where I used to live. It was located on the first floor and my window was only few feet from a pretty busy street so I couldn\u2019t leave my window open during the day\/night. One day I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a drunk woman peeing in front of my window or two homeless men fighting. I will definitely have many interesting stories to tell my children in the future haha. Before that summer I haven\u2019t thought that I would need air-conditioning so desperately<\/strong> but now I cannot even imagine my life without it. So many sleepless nights\u2026<\/p>\n

I think I\u2019m much more ready for this summer. The apartment where I live now has air-conditioning, I can even leave my windows open all day\/night and don\u2019t have to worry about someone breaking in. Also, I have finally learned that sunscreen is a necessity<\/strong> here and so it always has an important place in my backpack wherever I go.<\/p>\n

Coming from a country where there\u2019s no sea, only rivers and lakes, it\u2019s been a pretty big change for me to move here but honestly not that difficult to get used to having a beach only few miles away. And that definitely feels like a real summer. I have to confess that I\u2019ve been to the beach only few times even though the ocean has never been closer to me. I haven\u2019t even swum in the ocean yet. Maybe it\u2019s finally time to do so this summer.<\/p>\n

Summer 2019 in Los Angeles is finally here and it has already started in a big way with several intense earthquakes. For a person who has never experienced an earthquake before it was an interesting experience so \u201ccan\u2019t wait\u201d what the summer has in store for the next couple of months.<\/p>\n
