If you have been waiting for a reason to finally mow the lawn or just sit outside and judge your neighbor’s landscaping, this is your week. Georgia is about to enjoy a rare stretch of dry, sunny weather—unless you live in north Georgia, where Sunday could bring some of those famous summer showers.
☀️ What We Know: The next five days are shaping up to be mostly dry, with temperatures slowly climbing to the expected levels for summer in the Peach State. Today kicked things off with clear skies and highs between 73 and 85 degrees. Sunday tries to stir up some drama with scattered storms in north Georgia, but the rest of the state will barely notice. By Monday, the sun is back in charge, and it stays that way through at least Wednesday. Highs will flirt with 91 degrees by midweek, so get ready to sweat.
🌦️ Why This Should Catch Your Attention: If you have outdoor plans, this is your green light—unless you are in north Georgia on Sunday, in which case, maybe keep an umbrella handy. For everyone else, it is the kind of weather that makes you forget how much you complained about the rain last month.
🌡️ Take Action: Hydrate, wear sunscreen, and maybe check on your neighbor who still insists on wearing flannel in June.
How to Read and Understand the News
Truth doesn’t bend because we dislike it.
Facts don’t vanish when they make us uncomfortable.
Events happen whether we accept them or not.
Good reporting challenges us. The press isn’t choosing sides — it’s relaying what official, verified sources say. Blaming reporters for bad news is like blaming a thermometer for a fever.
Americans have a history of misunderstanding simple things. In the 1980s, A&W rolled out a 1/3-pound burger to compete with McDonald’s Quarter Pounder. It failed because too many people thought 1/3 was smaller than 1/4. If we can botch basic math, we can certainly misread the news.
Before dismissing a story, ask yourself:
- What evidence backs this?
- Am I reacting to facts or feelings?
- What would change my mind?
- Am I just shooting the messenger?
And one more: Am I assuming bias just because I don’t like the story?
Smart news consumers seek truth, not comfort.
