They are calling for a high of 88F. I literally cannot remember the last time it rained. We got an unseasonably late rain but I can't remember if it was in May or June.

59°/81°/66°
Mostly sunny. SE wind 5 to 10 mph.

Kelli,
I see the need for that if they are going to add that many people.

Oooh Liz! I won't see those high temps this year, but I have before. That's pretty hot in the Midwest!

Signet,
If it only rains for that long take the downpours. It's the only way to get any rain. Not keen on the wind tho

Dana,
I'm happy for anyone who gets rain!
Hugs for the sinus headache. Those are bad :o(

Linda,
I can imagine the top of the thermometer being blown out if you set it in the sun.
106° on the patio?

Rita,
I LOVE those kinds of storms!

Char,
Oh no! Flooded Birkenstock's!!

Kelli,
Move to Iowa and they will come :o)

Gorgeous here again and I will be mowing when the grass dries. It's super humid in the mornings and this early morning fog crept in. I got a walk in early.

sunny days, some clouds passing by now and then
High temps in the lower 70's, night temps in the lower 60
Almost every night we have some rain and plants are growing like crazy

Next week temps are supposed to go up to high 70's - low 80's for a day or 2

(86F is called 'tropical weather' over here and we have an average of 3 of these days every year )


Mayo

Yes, Sally 106 on the patio. Kind of used to it, unfortunately.

Margaret, I looked up Kamloops, and wow, it's just beautiful there!! What are the warmest and coldest average temperatures that Kamloops blesses you with, since your high is only 50F today?

Dana, yes Kamloops location is indeed beautiful, the warmest temperature is about 100F during late July and early August, coldest about 19F in January and February . I live about 50 miles SW of Kamloops, temperature is usually 8 to 10 degrees cooler at my location as I am at a higher elevation, 3500 feet.

Yesterday we got a lot of rain on and off all day, no thunderstorms. Today has been mostly overcast with high humidity and a slight breeze, have heard some distant thunder, 62F degrees.

72°/87°/70°
Showers and thunderstorms likely. Mostly cloudy. SW wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Mayo,
It sounds so nice there!

Linda,
Yikes!

The weather radio went off at 4:00 am letting me know the northern towns were getting big storms. We might get some of the bottom half of the rain.

We did. Had more thunder and lightning than numbers in the gauge.

It was 60F this morning and that felt chilly at first. They are calling for a high of 87F. They were way off on yesterday's forecast. It got up to 96F. Usually they are pretty accurate with the temperature.

It's damp, cool, but feels icky out. I opted to clean a corner of the bedroom by pulling things out, washing the wall behind the things I'm going to shove back in and vacuuming all the little dust bunnies that collected. I dusted it, the bathroom and laundry room. Smells lemony and I like it!

We are hitting highs in the low eighties.

Two days ago we got 2 inches of rainfall New Mexico style. For New Mexico style you measure the space between the drops on a flat surface.

A bit much heh?

Tomorrow they say it will be 96. Saturday 97 and some 95's thrown in for good measure. Guess it is a heat wave.

That is hot for sure Rita. Just not quite as hot as here.

It's 85 here right now but feels like 90 out. Once again the rain they predicted for today and tomorrow is not coming.

You usually win the "Award" for the most heat!

So are you saying I am full of hot air ?

I heard that Margaret !

quietyard said:So are you saying I am full of hot air ?

Well, not the way I would have put it.

Rita

It rained today in New Mexico.

Here is the rain starting at sunset. The rain is the pink at the top of the photo, backlit by the sunset. As you can see, it is evaporating before it hits the ground.


It's raining harder now, the rain (again the pink at the top of the photo) is still evaporating before it hits the ground.


The rain is starting to fade away as the sun sets. It is now the grey at the top.


Charley in dry New Mexico

73°/85°/68°
A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11am. Partly sunny. North wind around 5 mph becoming southeast in the afternoon.

Charley,
Love how you measure rain!
I hate it when it evaporates before hitting the ground.

Raining lightly. I was going to walk at first light to beat it. Not now. We are already running the air. It's 80° in here and that's our limit of being hot and humid.

Well, weatherman is predicting a high of l00 on Friday. I won't be here, am going north for a week but, if it gets that hot where I am going, we will be in trouble. We have no air conditioning in our cottage.

Cindy,
Have a great time at your cottage! it sounds like so much fun!
