2021 - How's the Weather Where You Are

Our days continue to be hazy with high humidity. Yesterday, we went for a drive in the country. There was a mist that apparently comes all the way from B.C. due to the many wildfires there, affecting the air quality.
 

Hazy sunshine this morning and throughout the day (Hooray, no rain!) with temps in the lower to mid 80s. With all the rain, rivers around here are full but there's been little flooding. While there's been a lot of rain, the rate at which it fell thankfully allowed for proper drainage and absorption in most places.

We've been watching the BBC news channel, the past few days, to see the devastation taking place in Germany. Some of these floods have occurred just a few miles North of where my wife grew up, and the USAF base I was stationed at. She is heartbroken to see so much of the area she was familiar with, destroyed.

The entire world is experiencing extreme climate/weather related tragedies. We're glad to have BBC news as part of our TV subscription, because the US news seldom reports on anything taking place outside of the US.

World News Tonight (ABC) and Good Morning America (more lengthy versions of the same) covers news outside of the U.S. I've been seeing the videos of the terrible destruction on those programs. It's also good to have BBC News too. I used to get it on my Android Box but the app that pulled it in is no more.

Yeah, I usually watch WNT, With David Muir, and they have made "quick" mentions about these floods...between their endless commercials. The reporting on BBC has been far better and more detailed than anything I've seen on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, FOX, MSNBC, etc.

I don't doubt it Don. I watch WNT via Hulu+ so I'm spared the commercials. The only minor downside is I'm not watching in real time. The broadcast is usually available after midnight.
 
Another day of bright sunshine and temp in the mid 70F. No rain predicted through the end of August. And this is the Pacific NorthWET. The webs on my feet are starting to crack.
 
My lawn needs mowing AGAIN with all this rain. It's been sunny since early this morning, and I was thinking about going out a doing it - I want to have a moving sale this weekend. I stood up from the computer and BINGO - a cloudburst. Radar show that it looks like a heavy but localized rain.
