    Temp/Precip wise, this summer is similar to 2013 imby. We only had 3 days at 90 all summer long, all in July. It was fairly wet. All fall and winter months were normal to below 2013 into 2014. January was -9 here. February was -2.5, and March -3. 2013-14 was La Nada though.

    Wasn't expecting rain tonight but just had a shower. My tomatoes are huge. Now they just need to get ripe. I've been using heirloom varieties and they are slow to come and slow to ripen. They have been out about 85 days now. One of my plants is about 12 feet tall and is nearly as thick as a half dollar. It's the biggest I've ever managed to get one. The last three years severe storms have blown them over and broken them around this time of year, cage and all. This year I built a green limb frame work around the cages a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it holds up.

    No 90s for June or July. I've had more highs in the 70s this month than I have had highs of 87+.

    About 5000 meters without power here. Ended up with some heavy rain and lots of thunder but the bad winds were south of me and east of me.

    It never has rained, but the temp is down to 85.1. This may be a no 90 summer imby.
  6. John1122
    Got up to 88.2 but now there's frequent thunder from a storm just to my south. It's unlikely to rain here from it but it's cooled the temperature down to 87 on the dot already.

    Made it to 87.8. The temperature is down to 87.4 now. We are close to sunset for mby. I'll be fully behind the big ridges behind my house in the next 45 minutes. Areas in town 500-700ish feet lower than me look to be 93 to 95 today. Slight elevation, but much more so, lots of woods and the complete lack of nearby pavement, that really helps me stay cooler. It's a few miles and an entire mountain between me and any pavement more than about 15 feet wide, and it barely qualifies as pavement these days. It's mostly gravel. I have a hard time getting to the mid 90s unless we have low low humidity and today we do not have low humidity.

    If this weather station just south of Wartburg is correct, Holston may have melted.

    This is the hottest day of the week so far at 3:25 with some room for warming still to go if we don't get clouds. My high for the year is 88.
  10. John1122
    Topped out at 84.7 today. A little cooler than the last two days. My electric and water bill for the last week of June and the first 3 weeks of July came today, it's about 25 percent lower than average.

    Cloudy with a few sprinkles today already. Crossing 2pm and it's only 80 degrees. We still might see 90 tomorrow, but so far, imby, all these hot forecasts are coming up 5 to 10 degrees short of the mark.
  12. John1122
    I only got to 85.2 today. Currently sitting at 83.6 at 5:00pm.
  13. John1122
    Crept up to 85.1 today. Then storms fired close, but not quite over me. Got some clouds and that was it for the heating. I think we make a run on Friday to get over 90, if we don't get a well timed storm.
  14. John1122
    82.4 for the high today and it seems very hot. That's how mild this summer has been so far.
  15. John1122
    It may heat up this week but my high was 78 today and yesterday. Impossible to beat on July 22nd and 23rd. I guess I can deal with upper 80s because I know that we've missed two months of heat this Summer.
  16. John1122
    Looks like I may hit 90 this week. Models are showing 91-93 but my point forecast says 89 as the max. I'd love to go a whole summer with no 90s.
  17. John1122
    For the second morning in a row a heavy shower developed over me and soaked everything. Almost in the exact same place as yesterday.
  18. John1122
    It's crazy that we probably aren't much more than 60 miles apart as the crow flies and there's been that big of a difference.
  19. John1122
    Tons of flooding just west of me. It's rained off and on throughout the day but the heavy stuff was just off to my west. Finally getting very heavy rain here with all the thunder. Fortunately not like Scott and Morgan got it.
  20. John1122
    Man, this thunder sounds like bombs going off. Apparently lots of strikes really close by. Looks like the high for today is going to be 69 and that was at midnight.
  21. John1122
    So far, my high today is 72. Just had another round of moderate rain pass over.
  22. John1122
    I think most of the forum region got in on it, except maybe Chattanooga and Memphis. But they may have gotten in on it too. 40 corridor and north had several events of snow/sleet/freezing rain. Parts of Middle Tennessee got 12+ from one storm in January 2016.
  23. John1122
    I think that was a year or two prior. You guys got rocked in Jan-Feb 2016.
  24. John1122
    It was a late bloomer, but turned epic in from Mid Jan to Mid Feb. Lots of ice and snow, and even severe weather that winter.
  25. John1122
    Looks like 80.9 is going to do it today. It was 61 this morning.
