NORFOLK -- Some people who'd normally cool off with a swim in the Chesapeake Bay this summer are staying out.
Jellyfish are common, but there are lots more than usual.
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science says the warm, dry summer is the reason.
On Wednesday at Ocean View in Norfolk, Trina Coons didn't see many jellyfish, but she's watching for them.
"We're ready for them, when they come, we're going home," she stated.
Lifeguards say they keep a vinegar solution on hand for anyone who gets stung.
Remember, jellyfish move with the tide, the winds and currents, so they may be plentiful in one area one day and gone the next.
