Here in Phoenix, Arizona, it is over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Kind of beastly.
And a local man with whom I struck up a conversation this afternoon, had the nerve -- with Houston and Harvey in the news -- to complain that Phoenix is HUMID at the moment.

Harvey is coming to call this evening, a few hundred miles away on the coast. Under normal circumstances, that distance would mean their weather is completely different than ours, but this thing is so humongous that it has bands of weather radiating out from it. We expect to get some wind and rain in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but not damaging and not torrential like down at the Gulf Coast. And it a few minutes ago it made landfall.

Here in Nova Scotia, the weather has been quite warm and sunny. It's not as scorching or humid as the last couple of days, but it is still warm. I can't wait for it to get cold again. I like winter the most. The main thing I like about summer is going to the cottage.

Posts on this thread may pick up with the approach of Hurricane Harvey. Posts usually increase when the weather is severe. I hope it amounts to no threat for everyone here. Another possibility is that someone may start a thread about the storm.

keberoxu - Yesterday, at 1PM, it was 16C. YEAH BABY! This AM, at 5AM, it was 10C!!!! Now, it's 30C but low humidity and there's a breeze. According to the forecast for tomorrow, I am cooking a roast of beef in the oven! Alas, the next days will be cold cuts and potato salad. All said and done, except for the January just passed ice storm (4 days without power), the last TWO years have been, well global warming... rather pleasant. Although, I do miss crisp and cold fall days.

A great day for Bristol, RI's, parade, and for Chepachet, RI's, Ancient and Horribles
Parade. Not that I'm going to either. I hate crowds. I usually spend this day at Mystic Seaport, but I've been sidelined by an achy back. I think I feel well enough, and the weather is good enough, to go to a friend's home near the seaport for a cookout, though.

The effects of TS Cindy were pretty much as anticipated except that the cumulative rainfall was probably well over six inches. All area creeks and rivers are well out of their banks. The roof on my pottery studio sprung a leak and brought down a chunk of ceiling drywall. No big deal. I built it, I can fix it. A tree fell on my neighbor's fence allowing some of his cattle to escape and wander about on my property, but they're safely back home now. It could have been worse.

Today is supposed to be cloudy but dry, with the usual 50% chance of afternoon thunder showers resuming tomorrow.

As if it weren't already rainy enough, now we have Tropical storm Cindy promising to dump five or six more inches on us over the next couple of days. My pond will overflow. My driveway will be a river. The bridge on the south end of our road will be underwater, so we'll have to detour north and double back on roads with higher bridges.

Fortunately, we aren't close enough to the storm's center for wind to be a problem, just lots of rain.

Glorious sunshine and wonderful hot weather along the UK south coast today - 29C will do me.

Just strolled along to my local pub and enjoyed a couple of pints of "Doombar" - brewed in Cornwall but travels well - and strolled back to enjoy dinner.

Everything is green and warm and vibrant. This IS the life (for the moment...).

Flights are grounded in the American southwest. It is 117-119 F.

Hot air is thin air. A heavy plane cannot acquire lift at 117.

We had about ten days straight of rain, during which time my roof sprang a leak. Then the rain stopped for about three days, which was just long enough for me to repair the roof. Then it started back raining and will probably keep it up for five or six more days. Thankfully, I have a good long book to read.
