How's your weather today?

Another day of bright sun and decent temperatures. Up to 14C just now and light breeze. This has been a great spell of weather for us. I can't remember when it last rained. Unfortunately, it is forecast to change tomorrow and rain and low pressure is moving in from the Atlantic.

At the expense of getting out cycling, I have been able to clear away some very old and very deep rooted shrubs. Now I just have to find some replacement plants for the space. Surprisingly, I found some service access points hidden among all the overgrowth. And I have also repaired some spaces in my lawn. Now to see if the rain can make the seed grow.
 

You two took my sun! It's most cloudy here and about 13C.
 

Well, it rained yesterday afternoon and through the night. This morning started wet but then the sun came out and it is now so humid...........yuk!!!! I have been for a walk and I was dripping when I got home. Not a nice feeling at all. We are in that awkward period when you need to wear waterproofs when walking but when the sun breaks through, the heat has you cooking. Now I know why plants do so well in greenhouses. Oh well, as they say, it is good for the garden.

Temp is 13C.
 
Ossian, I wore my rainjacket into the town to go to the gym this morning. Didn't need it as it didn't rain. Too hot to wear home, just needed my sweatjacket.

It's raining extremely hard tonight....this area is covered with Flash Flood watches and warnings. We're about 6 inches below normal precipitation for the year, and it looks like we will probably make up that deficit in the next day or two.
 
It's been very,humid here in S.W. Missouri. With lots of rain and storms all around us. Temp. was 84, but the weather girl said with humidity it felt like in the 90's. I felt worse after hearing that. 😊
 
According to radar that is headed straight for us Ken and where I am here in central we could use the rain (the past few rains have been going east & west of us).......what we don't need is the hail and possible severe weather that may come with it.
 
​Very warm today, 88ºF (31C) today and humid. Put the central air on for my cats while I worked outdoors.
 
For weeks we have had dry, sunny weather. Yesterday and today it was supposed to rain. I get up this morning, peer through the blinds and it still has not rained. I need rain!!!!! And so does my garden.

It is dull tho', so maybe there is hope!

You're in the wrong part of Scotland. It's soggy down here!
 
Summer has arrived here...daytime highs in the 90's with humidity driving the heat index to nearly 100. Just getting out and riding the lawn mower for a couple of hours can be a chore. Usually, this kind of weather occurs in late July through August, so I hope this isn't a prelude to even more extremes to come.
 
Well, I don't like to quote Adrian Cronauer (Hello, Vietnam) but he said how I feel today here in SW Virginia.

Were you born on the sun? It's damn hot! It's so damn hot, I saw little guys, their orange robes burst into flames. It's that hot! Do you know what I'm talking about?"
