2021 - How's the Weather Where You Are

We’re in a prolonged heatwave and no rain. Extreme fire ratings. No rain in the long term forecasts.
 

A cold one

This morning -1°C
Today 11°C
Now 2.3°C

Mostly sunny. Areas of frost and the chance of fog this morning. Light winds becoming NW 15 to 20 km/h in the middle of the day then tending W 20 to 30 km/h in the early afternoon. Daytime maximum temperatures between 9 and 12.
 
Our weather, in the middle of Missouri, has been fairly seasonable, so far....with just a bit more rain than normal. However, 2021 could be a bad year for some parts of the country, if the predictions turn out to be true.

The Western and SW States are expected to experience excessive drought...which may well cause an abnormal amount of forest fires. The Gulf and Eastern states may see an increase in hurricane activity, and coastal flooding. This might be a good year to pay Close Attention to the weather reports.

All weather reports indicate a heat wave this week. Near record temps. Not a fan of really warm weather, I try to work around it by opening my windows at night, put a fan in one, then when I can feel the heat coming in the next day, I shut the windows. Only a matter of time, though, until that method won't work and I'll have to resort to lugging out my 50 pound, 40 year old GE Carry Cool.

Patchy fog early this morning. Patches of morning frost. Mostly sunny afternoon. Winds W/NW 15 to 20 km/h becoming light in the late evening. Daytime maximum temperatures between 12 and 15.
 
It was 100° on my outdoor, in-the-shade thermometer this afternoon. That's oo hot for me to ride. Tomorrow's supposed to be another hot one but I think there will be some seat time in the Miata, which does a perfectly good job of blowing cool AC on you while the top's down. I am so happy I dipped into the kid's inheritance to get that car over a decade ago. I remember my father calling me on hot summer to say he'd spent my inheritance on a new car. My response to him was, "What took you so long?"
