Yes, a good rain once a week, we wouldn't be/feel so hot if the ground was damp.

I need to get me a yardstick so I can see how deep these cracks in my yard are. At least I won't have to cut grass until the fall rains start.

Humid does not equal cool but dry ground helps produce higher temps 😊

Accuweather said about an hour ago 'rain starting in 7min. I looked again a few minutes later and it said 'rain ending in 10min. Looked outside and I didn't see nary a drop anywhere..

We've had nearly 2 1/2" in rain gauge. Perfect timing, since I dragged the little wet bar frig outside to defrost it. Had to cover it with plastic and leave it outside. Thumbs down
I got soaked! Not complaining, though. Love that it rained a good soaking rain here.
