We've had a lot of nice weather, for being in Canada. Still the rollercoaster type, warm one day, cool the next. We've being having a tremendous amount of wind....not breezes....very strong winds....50/60....every day for most of the spring, and now. Can't remember when we've had it so constant, drying everything out.
That wind continued all of today as it has been for several days, according to weather watches, was to be up 70 klm. certainly wasn't an outside day. lots of branches to pick up tomorrow.
What a pleasant morning to wake up to, compared to the last many days. No hurricane winds, so far, sunny, light breeze, birds are singing their hearts out.
Changed my mind, forecast, since this morning, wind was bored staying idle, got up again, not bad, switched to the north, north west, more protected from that direction......You'd think Mother Nature would get tired, guess not.
Have been very lucky in the area where i am......a lot of severe weather forecasted these last few days, have gone east and north, hail, downpours, wind uprooting trees, hail, and large hail, downpours had caused water in basements, happy we're missing this, but sad for the areas dealing with it all.
We are PARCHED. So far this month, the measured rainfall amount at the nearest "official" weather station is 0.56 inches 10 days ago. It's been extremely warm so that 1/2 inch didn't go very far. I pulled up weeds this morning and the ground is bone dry as far down as I went. Grass is crispy in places and even weeds are wilting. No relief in sight - temps in the upper 80s and low 90s for the next 10 days and nothing above a 50% chance of rain any of those days.
