How's The Weather By You?

Expecting sunshine and highs in the mid nineties all week. Humidity is on the rise and little chance of rain. Gotta water the garden again today.
 

Overcast but a lovely temp. Calling for rain and maybe thunder this afternoon. I choose not to believe that and wishing for sunshine!!
 
Drizzly and gray (that's grey for our UK friends...). Temps in 60s with calm winds. No swell to speak of. Hoping the predicted showers will at least bring some actual rain beyond depressing drizzle.
 

Sunny and once again calling for thunder showers. That has been the forecast for days now, and other than a 20 minute rain shower, it has been hot and sunny. Starting to get humid now so a good rain should help. I just hope it rains overnight if it has to come and stays sunny during the day!!
 
Rain actually fell north of here toward San Francisco and beyond so we have scattered drizzle. Pleasant temps is high 60s and no wind. Supposed to clear up tomorrow and continue beautiful as high pressure builds over the eastern Pacific. Small south swell at about 17 seconds predicted to move in tomorrow, also. So, it will be fun in the sun...
 
This week in Las Vegas, hot, hot and hotter up to 115-118 by the end of the week. After 24 years here it's no big deal summer is hot. I love that there's so little rain, I have always disliked rainy days so when we finally have one, it's enjoyable.
 
Rained this morning and still overcast. Looks like the skies might open again any minute. I'm having an "indoor" day so don't mind a sprinkle at all.
 
Measured 0.25 inches of drizzle so not much in the way of actual rain. A lot of it was verga (rain that evaporates before hitting ground). Supposed to clear up with temps reaching high 70s but it's just overcast and muggy...
 
For a couple of recent days we had overcast and less than 1/10" of rain - very unusual for Central Kalifornistan. Today 90° with increasing daily hi temps to 108° by Tuesday. I saw one site predicting 112° by Tuesday. Yep... it's summertime in the valley! Damn this global warming! It seems to happen every year about now.

I hear you on the humidity! We've been in the low 90's for the last week and very humid. Today was not so terribly bad until around noon. There was a nice soft breeze blowing which helped as I was mowing. We need rain badly, the plants are turning brown. Our soil is very sandy, and no amount of hand watering seems to quench their thirst. Rain is in the forecast tonight and tomorrow, albeit a low percent, but maybe we'll get lucky.

Hubby put the pump in the creek and watered the back yard while I mowed and watered the front gardens. I swear, next year NO MORE PLANTS!!!

May I suggest xeriscaping? Go native and your water worries will be lessened.
 
Warmed up nicely to 80F and cooling down as the sun sets. Supposed to get hotter into the weekend which I weakly dread as my tolerance is somewhere between 65 to 75. What a wimp, eh? I feel for you folks suffering in high temps and high humidity.
 
The desert heat isn't for everyone, but I love Phoenix. Lived there for 6 years. Even when it reached 118 in August every year, I could tolerate it so much better than the 98 and 100% humidity in Houston that I live with now. And I've been here for years. I go outside for two minutes and I'm soaking wet!
The desert is a love or hate place for most people.. I was in the 'love' column for sure.
Didn't want to ever move, but hubby's work brought us to Houston.
A side note ... desert heat is wonderful for your hair, and heat and humidity are wonderful for your skin.
 
Went out for an after dinner walk alone in the park, and the skies were dark and overcast, threatening rain. Well, with the drought we've been having, I welcome the rain, and figured I'd take my chances. My morning walk with the dog was too sunny and hot for both of us.

Anyhoo, as I drove into the park, the skies were black there. There were large and frequent lightning strikes on all sides of me. I sat in the car for awhile, the only car there, deciding if I wanted to walk with all that lightning. There was no sign of a break in the darkness, so I couldn't wait it out. Colorado and Florida are two states with high amounts of people being hit by lightning.

Just a little rain, but lots of thunder and lightning...decided to go back home and forget it. Thunder boomers still out there by my house, and the dog is totally shadowing me, lol. Still waiting for a nice rain to go along with it. :rolleyes:
 
Been raining for two days steady and not supposed to stop until next Thursday. Monsoons of a sort! We have so many lakes around here and small rivers, I'm sure there will be a lot of flooded basements. I'm on a hill so not too worried about that but the ground is so saturated, I'm sure it can't take much more.
 
TICA . . . I can tell ya 'bout Monsoons. Rain so hard for days on end coming down in buckets and you can't even see inches in front of you...

Now, here on the coast, supposed to hit 90F again and over 100F inland. Whew! Saw on the news that Death Valley hit 129F and could break a record 130F. No thanks. Gratefully, we have that nice cool Pacific Ocean breeze in the evening.

Was up at dawn and took advantage of cool temps to clean out yellow jacket trap. It was 3/4 full. Heh, heh, heh . . . got you little bastards! Hung another and glad to keep them under some sort of control.
 
Yesterday was in the mid 80's with a nice breeze all day. Took advantage of the cooler weather to weed some gardens. Today in the high 70's, and low 80's for the next few days...unheard of for this time of year. Gotta get out and tackle the weeds while it's cool.
