Normally, August in Newfoundland is beautiful after a rainy July. This time, things were reversed. We had 4 nice days out of 20 and missed a beautiful July.
Meanwhile, the weather back home in Kansas was much cooler and rainier than usual, but nowhere near as cool and rainy as what we had in Newfoundland.
