Good morning! Today is Monday, July 11th, 2016. According to weather.com, the temperature is 67 degrees in Midtown Manhattan right now, making that 74% humidity pretty tolerable (don’t worry, it’ll dip as the day goes on). The weekend rain means things have cooled off a bit: High temps are hitting a very pleasant 82 degrees later on, right about that same time you have a meeting scheduled with the ice cream truck down the block.
Wind and rain shouldn’t be a concern today, so as far hair goes, rub a bit of dry shampoo into the roots and work whatever you were doing yesterday. You probably have very little Sunday-to-Monday people crossover, so take advantage of it.
