LOL, maybe we should all go out and run through the sprinklers like we did when we were six years old. I am not sure that it would be quite as thrilling as it was back then.

But the look on our neighbor's faces might make it worth it.

I have very high hedges and mature trees.. neighbours don't get to see much, and I've always got shorts and Tee on anyway
 

Yesterday, it got up to 109* and today is supposed to be 110*. We're at 3500 ft. elevation so places like Phoenix and Lake Havasu City are much hotter since they don't have any elevation to speak of. Our humidity is high...for us...at 12%. It's usually 1%. No rain in sight and we haven't had any monsoon's in our area for at least 4 years. We need rain!!

I'm guessing you folks dont have any front or back lawns to water.....
You must be a constant state of drought.

We're close to having one, if we aren't in one already.

We are visiting our home here in Florida for a few weeks. We haven't been here since before the pandemic. It's good to be back. The home has been for sale for almost a year. We have the price set well above the market value because we aren't in any hurry to sell, obviously.

Elsa went through here throughout the night on Tuesday into Wednesday. A lot of rain and wind and several thunderstorms, but zero damage. I awoke early, about three in the morning, and looked outside to see the palm trees bending. It sometimes surprises me how durable they are. I didn't see any flying objects like lawn chairs or umbrellas. We never stand near any windows during high winds because of this. Some people don't store their loose items lying about outside.

Today I am going plane spotting over at Tampa after I visit the United people inside the terminal to say hi. I was thinking back and I can only remember flying into TPA a handful of times. Summertime is the worse with the early evening thunderstorms always being a possibility. Much like Dallas. TPA did close on Tuesday at 5 p.m. and reopened Wednesday morning. Winds generally are the issue with takeoffs and landings. Crosswinds can cause pilots much concern. Even the most experienced pilots have encountered winds that have caused them issues. It's not unusual for a pilot to TOGA (Take Off Go Around) when attempting a landing during high winds. Planes do have wind limitations.
 
Cool, for July in the northeast US, and drizzly. Off and on showers. News reports said we had some powerful storms roll thought last night - I didn't hear a thing - probably snoring louder than the thunder. Supposed to get the remnants of storm Elsa later today into tomorrow,
 
Another cold one, currently raining.

This morning 2°C
Today 9°C
Now 2.7°C

Cloudy, the chance of frost this morning, mainly in the E. High chance of showers, becoming less likely later tonight. Light winds. Daytime maximum temperatures between 8 and 11.
 
Hurricane Elsa, or what's left of it, is knocking on our door this morning with low-cloud fog and rain with heavier rain to follow. There's a flash flood warning posted for our area but we're up high enough, so that's no problem for us. Temps will be in the high 60s to low 70s with nothing but rain. No exploring today.

Elsa is reluctantly leaving and headed to New England. Still windy and raining but much cooler. Sun should arrive by this afternoon.

If you listened to/watched one of the local news channels and were a little "out of it" for whatever reason, you'd might wonder what doomsday cataclysm was lying ahead. Although having the remnants of a hurricane passing by offshore isn't a new thing, the news readers are making like this was the big story of the century. I had to laugh when on of the many "reporters" they have scattered about was reporting there were puddles in the streets. My goodness, who would have ever guessed that would happen when its raining.
 
A cold one today

This morning 2°C
Today 10°C
Now -1.3°C

Partly cloudy. The chance of morning fog. Slight chance of a shower in the SE, near zero chance elsewhere. Areas of morning frost. Light winds becoming S 15 to 20 km/h in the morning then becoming light in the late afternoon. Daytime maximum temperatures between 9 and 13.
