Singing in the rain here too ... we seem to be getting daily bouts of rain now, and it is very welcomed.
Never thought I would be happy to have August come, but this year it feels like Fall is on the way.

Highs in the 80's today.
 
Dark, rain on and off, extremely humid. Forecast for the coming week has more rain. About right for this time of year, approaching September.
 

Did not get out of bed until noon. Dogs having fits when the real thunder started could not get any sleep. We had 9 inches rain in about 12 hours time. WOW! Went to let dogs out to potty, raining but very light. The two boys, were heck no! The smallest, only girl trotted out, finally the big boy followed. I still have one hold out, I will have to watch for a slow point and carry him out LOL.
 
Much needed rain. Two storms passed today. The first was was a splash & dash. An hour later we had a tremendous thunderstorm and some close lightning (at least the thunder was loud!). I got the windows closed too late, then had to mop up water because the wind blew in quite a bit. Just a smidge over 0.6 in (1.5 cm) in my rain gauge. Alas, no more rain the the forseeable future with increasing temps towards the weekend.
 
Well it's Raining.... Finally... :D 🌧️🌧️☔ I'm very happy to have it as is my garden...

Come for the Golden Gate Bridge and Cable Cars. Stay for the Summer Shivers.
San Franciscans are done apologizing for their cold Julys and Augusts. In a time of punishing heat waves, the city likes being a place to chill out.

SAN FRANCISCO — While Americans from Seattle to Memphis to New York sweated their way through the swampy summer of 2022, here was the scene on an August afternoon at Fisherman’s Wharf, on the northern tip of San Francisco: Among a group of friends from Germany gawking at dozens of barking sea lions splayed on floating docks, one was bundled in a down jacket and another in a sweatshirt, and a third was shivering despite a red checkered scarf worn like a shawl.

“No one told us about how windy it is,” said Matthias Schilli, a Ph.D. student from Hamburg, as the temperature dipped into the 50s and a thick bank of fog began to roll in from the Golden Gate under the orange sky of a setting sun.

Nearby, Riley Carvalis, a recruiter for a construction company in Florida, dashed into a shop to buy a gray and white hoodie emblazoned with “San Francisco” across the chest — one of many stacked up in trinket shops for visitors who are caught unprepared.
