[UncleWede]

Mostly sunny, 74. Real heat wave here.

[JJ 911SC]

Cooling off, it was 105 when I got in...

[JJ 911SC]

A huge system that is not moving fast.

The rain started 06:00 and may end around 14:00

[UncleWede]

Cloudy, 64, 92%. Must be HOT inland, sucking the fog in across the coast.

[Lady Jane]

Perfect morning for a long run. My ribs feel better.

[Esteban]

Right now it's 69F and cloudy. High is forecasted at 89. Not bad. I'll take it. But...

...the heat is coming.

[Mosaud1998]

Storms here. Heavy rain risk of maybe a Tornado or two

Finally getting some rain. We had about two hours worth of downpours last night, and about 1.5 hours in to some pretty heavy rain right now.

It's good we haven't had any significant rain in months plus sunny and near or above 100 temps for two straight months.

We've only had the lawn guy out once in the last two months because things just aren't growing and/or brown.

Must be nice to get the rain. Wish we would here.

Do you have outside watering restrictions? We do here. We get to water 3 times a week before 9am and after 4pm. I suspect our lawns here are not long for this earth.

PS - I should just dig it up and plant drought friendly plants and save the water. Don't think this drought is going to end anytime soon.

Yeah. Even when we aren't in drought conditions we are only allowed to water on even/odd days based on the last number of your address. So in reality, every other day.

We quit watering back in early July as it seemed pointless with the heat and irresponsible because of the conditions.

We are looking at redoing our entire flower beds in front of the house with native/drought tolerant plants. Put we have an enormous amount of flower beds. Like 100 linear feet if not more, it's been a while since I measured.

Once a week, between 9pm and 6am was just announced. Tues for even addresses, Wed for odd. Not that our little water company HAS to abide. Our well is pretty stationary at 120'

Funny our bylaw is once a week for lawns the same as yours but likely not enforced as strictly. "Watering activities" not lawn related are odd/even days.

Anyways, the grass can stay brown and my car can stay clean.

We're expecting a T-storm tonight, the snakey looking cloud is just over Detroit right now.

[JJ 911SC]

After an afternoon of 87.8°F (feel like 105.8°F) we got a thunderstorm warning that came true.

Tiggie was rather on edge...

[Lady Jane]

Batten down the hatches. The blob should be here shortly.

[Alfisti]

We are having a belter of a summer, best one since I have been here. Nice days, not super humid for the most part. Got a bit of rain lately to freshen things up......... great year to have bought a convertible I tells ya.

It still bothers me seeing people driving with their tops up in weather like this. I know people make their own choices and what not, but come on!

Yes! I look at those people and go, "Well in the hell did you buy a convertible?"

[Alfisti]

It's like driving with a mask on, you don't really know the circumstances. If I am scooching from one spot to another where I need to park the car, and the drive is 5 minutes, i won't bother dropping then raising the roof. Same with my mask, if I am going from one crowded covid party to another 3 mins down the road i may not bother removing it. Cue people frothing at the mouth.

[Esteban]

86F right now. High today is forecasted at 106. Don't fail on me now a/c.

[UncleWede]

68 and sunny at the beach.
80 at home.
