By late afternoon of the first day of paintout, the heat and humidity were steadily increasing, and rain was threatening. I had a great spot at a friend's beach cottage, standing in the shade.  When at all possible, I try to have a "Plan B" if the weather looks dicey. She had a nice screened in porch where I could have finished painting this view if the weather got really bad. Luckily - stormy weather held off for a good bit longer!
