Enjoyed a nice afternoon/evening outside at a winery with friends then back home on the deck, confident the whole time that rain would not ruin our fun. Desert privilege pays sometimes
I still believe I am under an inch for the month and expect 0.00 on Monday
The area could use a break from severe anyway after last Tuesday. With real heat finally building in next week, anyone who loses power in storms on Monday will be really crying
Wow just read your posts, that is some crazy stuff -- sounds like 80-plus gusts? Even if straight-line winds, being on top of that ridge probably made them stronger in your yard
76 with full sun at 11 am on July 11 is fantastic! Got some good gardening done this morning. Looking ahead is mostly 80s with maybe near 90 a couple days. One of my son's friends just moved to Austin and is in shock over the temps there.
0.06 overnight and still no decent rain for many weeks here. Just got my new irrigation system that will make watering the garden much easier. Looks like I'll get to use it today here in Maryland's desert.
I watered the garden knowing we'd miss out again. I got a brief shower, then this solid line formed just east and moved NE. It's like clockwork. Just got a nice new irrigation system today that will be so nice to install and avoid fighting gnats, mosquitos and tumbleweeds to water the garden.
That's OK Getting our old fence replaced today so we need the Germantown shield. Watching them dig the new holes and man it's dry down deep.
Tough folks as the sun's out and the HX is 90
My point/click has a high of 79 on Sunday with sun. How's that for mid-July!
Hoping for rain for my parched yard this evening, but wouldn't be surprised to get shut out for the whole week
Just incredible. Missed a storm just north earlier, then just south now. To add insult, a new part blew up a mile east and moved off. I'll be out tomorrow morning watering my parched, cracked hard garden beds. Germandesert in full summer mode
