Here we have katydids, crickets, some frogs, some light rain at the moment, and an occasional distant rumble of thunder. Doesn't get much better! And when I'm not staring at a white screen of text, a few lightning bugs :-).
Yeah but gets nice out temperature wise! Just started raining here, moderate verging on heavy with lightning every couple of minutes (ctc). Current temp. is 73F....thoroughly enjoyable!
Sleep on your porch with some cutter nearby!
Hate when that happens (blurry pics)! Round 2 didn't have as much punch, the first one used up most of the heat. 72F here now, the coolest it's been for days!!!
Just did a little reading on dewpoints and found a couple of interesting stats. The highest recorded dp was in Saudi Arabia, at 95. Air temp was also 95, which equates to a heat index of 161. The lowest dp was in an Australian desert, at -21 degrees. The air temp. was 93. RH was 1%. That'll dry your skin out!
Currently 90 here, with a DP of 76.
Nice regarding the monarchs! Got milkweed here too, planted some seeds about 3 years ago, and it's doing great, lol. The flowers this year had a nice scent. Been seeing a couple of monarchs but haven't checked for caterpillars recently - I'll have to do that!
