Misters are often considered to be a luxury item in most parts of the world, with a general exception for regions such as the Coachella Valley. As local residents know well, as soon as the temperatures start to get above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, any outdoor activity MUST be shrouded in mist.

But for those of you new to the Valley, or who remain skeptical of the exact level of brutality our summers contain, this article is for you. Here are seven signs that you may need misters this coming season.

1. You look like this when you sit outside:

2. You look like a tomato after getting the mail.

3. You really DO like the outdoors.

4. People and/or animals that are sensitive to extreme heat are important to you. (Meet my dog, Tony, who does not understand why he can’t go on a walk at 1 p.m. in the summer.)

5. Four months of indoor activity is NOT why we live in California.

6. Your social life is suffering. Severely.

7. Your electric bill is $800 after you tried to cool your patio by blasting the air conditioning.

No matter the reason, our infamous hot season is just around the corner. If you’re considering the investment of misters this season, don’t be afraid to give us a call to schedule your free estimate 760-321-9203.
