For anyone so interested, on August 13th two operating steam locomotives will doublehead to pull an iron horse ramble from Reading through Tamaqua to Jim Thorpe.

94.3 is my high so far. Lets see if I can hit 95, but I think we're past peak daily heating.

Clouds are killing my temp. I just looked and my current UV index is only at 2.

93 in the backyard for the high (so far) today at 12:12pm. Back down to 91 at the moment.

I'm at 82 which is 6 degrees higher than this time yesterday.

64.2 at my house.

As promised. I did a count of all 90 degree days this year to date and I have seven days. (Eight if you count the cheap shot of 89.6 last week)

90.3 for the high in the backyard!

88 in my backyard. Still humid though. DP is 67.

I'm going to count mine when I get home. I know it's way more than two.

I never saw that. All we had was the rain and a strong breeze. @Mount Joy Snowmansorry for your loss.

What was it? We had good, heavy rain about 7pm, but no thunder. We did end up with 0.99" total from the morning and evening rain, though.

Yay me...not That's not a victory I really want.

Just hit up YouTube and search Phoenix monsoons. If you get under a potent one, you can get 80 to 100 mph winds and 2-4 inches of rain.

Yup. But when a monsoon storm hits, it's a sight and experience to behold.

Here's the part where I'm right smack in the middle and probably will get nothing.

Well, we know where the big boomers will be. Probably still locked in a solid overcast in Tamaqua...

It sure doesn't look like it right now.

I got .36" overnight/this morning in my backyard, but 1.50 to 1.91 inch fell in local pws's in Andreas as a storm hit right as I was arriving at our shop this morning. It was an all out deluge. Water and mud was flowing across the road leading in, and our parking lot was a 2 inch deep lake.

No. My company is a mom & pop. I'll probably have to take a leave of absence/quit and then get temporary work while I'm out there since I figure I'll be there for at least a few months.

Well, it looks like I'm going get the weather I crave. My mom's neighbor, and "caregiver" has decided that he's not going to do it anymore. Since my mom has macular degeneration and can't drive because she can barely see, and also has significant COPD, I will be, at least temporarily, moving out to Arizona to care for her, tend to her needs, and see what kind of in-home assistance she can get, or, in a worse case scenario, look into nursing homes for her. Even if she were to agree to come back east, it will take time to get everything sorted out. It won't be a pleasure cruise, but depending on how the situation plays out, I may stay out there at least through the winter before I come back to PA.

Ten degrees cooler than you all week up my way. My highest high is 89. I hate living in the mountains...

Wow. You did well down there.

Post your July rainfall to date if you have 'em. For me, only 0.48" so far.

That moment when you're a heat miser and find out that London England might hit 102F this week....
