Wondering about my thermometer a little after today - the high here was 92F, currently 75F, DP 70F. Generally speaking it seems fairly accurate, but I was surprised to see 92 as the high. We spent the day horizontally boring holes from the barn to the front yard, 28 feet length under the driveway. It was hot, after a while it's like you're in a mental fog, and just plugging along.

You can do it!!!

Thermometer here says 88F, although it also says the high so far is 90F. Outside working on a project so it's plenty hot either way, with the humidity.

Still a comfortable 83F here. We used to call the cicadas locusts when we were kids, and still do most of the time even if not accurate. And then there's the cicada killers, those B52 bomber bees that prowl around about a foot or two off the ground. Never been bothered by them but I keep my distance, lol.

I always thought of Cicadas as a July feature, then katydids and crickets in August....generally speaking. We probably have this conversation every year, lol.

Made it to 93F here, 90F currently.

I had a stack of split wood I wanted to cover up and forgot to. Got about 0.60" of rain here between 4:30 and 5 am, lightning and thunder woke me up. Yay! Pretty muggy out now.

Hopefully it was empty, lol.

Prior to the big heat, I'd really like to see some rain tonight. Starting to get dry here. Models show near nada (NAMs) to around an inch (most of the rest). NWS is sort of in the middle (imby more or less). No rain dud tonight please!

Be sure to post a lot! And take a pocket thermometer with you.

Better get a nice generator too, lol.

Well played! Meanwhile I'm hoping we don't have to wait 3 months for a 3 day stretch like today, tomorrow and Wednesday.

Just got a light shower here, not enough to wet beneath the trees. Has cooled off a bit, and a little breezy. Also getting some setting sun below the cloud deck.

Been watching it slowly fade as it gets closer. It is raining lightly here, hoping that southern edge of yellow/orange holds together....gonna be close it appears.

Lol that's one way to look at....I'm trying to keep it green here, I like the way it looks. It helps that we just got one of them sit on mowers.

Similar thoughts regarding the weekend, but seeing 80% pops for Saturday 2 days out indicates high confidence on Mt.. Holly's part at least. Uh, make that 60% now, thought it was 80% earlier. Medium confidence then.

Not as dry here, although in the last week things dried out pretty good, between the heat and sun angle and all. Picked up about 0.3" from this pop up shower just now. Currently 71F, DP 68. We've had a couple of good thundershowers here, but a lot of the rain has fallen with horizontal boundaries nearby and generally cooler temperatures. Not too much of the classic fronts from the west/NW running into hot and humid air with other supporting factors...so far anyway. Lot's of summer to go yet (actually all of it calendar wise, lol).

Getting a pretty decent shower now - air smells great!

Just looked at the radar and lo and behold there are some oranges popping up about 5 miles west of here. Hmmm!

^^^ Did the old fizzle fade here, maybe a little something later on? This is a re-useable post so far this season. Eta - don't get me wrong, overall we've done well rainfall wise here, to this point.

Nothing here from that first line - maybe we'll get something if this holds together at all. Congrats on the lightning bug! The ones here are out there partying again tonight. Letting the grass grow long in the back to encourage them . 78F now, DP 73F.

Made it to 91F here as well, one degree higher than yesterday. Currently 89F.

72F here, DP 71, very muggy! Did a little outside stuff for about 15 minutes and had no problem starting to sweat. Awesome!

Here they're about a week or 10 days behind, I'd think it would pick up soon up your way. Especially after the next two warm days and nights.

Made it to 90F here today, currently 71F with a DP of 63F. Not bad at all, plus the lightning bugs are putting on a show here tonight .
