It's 93 degrees, humid as the Atlantic Ocean (underwater, mind you ), and we have a pukey storm which is flashing lightning, rolling thunder, and has threatening clouds doing a good job of threatening. However, not one drop of rain has fallen in our area for the last 2.5 hours. It's just a big faker. It's making the humidity worse. Get on with it, already.

Sorry for your husband. Not a drop of rain here. It's still threatening. All bluster. No results. I don't know if it's dry lightning, Tenn. The clouds are very, very low.

We have some thunder and lightning, light rain and the sky looks really strange. We had a storm pass to the north of us earlier with huge bolts of lightning, it was kinda crazy The air looks yellowish right now

Finally, the blessed rain has started ! I just looked outside, and that is some kind of weird yellowish-gray. Hope it doesn't mean nortados. Probably not, but you never know.
Sorry your day was so hot, Sug.

I just went out side and it is still hot, humid, now damp and it smells funny. I wonder if that is what ozone smells like from all the lightning?

Maybe the neighbors are cooking or something I have never smelled that before! It looks really creepy out right now!

Normally this time of the year is our "dry" season. When I say dry I mean that we often have no rain for 60 to 90 days. Oddly the day before yesterday we had a small storm blow in. For over 24 hours now we have had a misting rain. Not heavy but steady & constant. Along with the falling rain is an even more rare falling temp. Right now instead of the normal high 80's or low 90's temp (it's 9:30am) we are enjoying a cool 68 degrees. I guess that things balance out, just not the way that we would always want them too.

I got home yesterday about 8pm and told my husband we could probably get a lap around our neighborhood in before the storm got to us. I only suggested this because the dog likes to go on walks and it had finally cooled off a bit. My guess was off a little. 2/3rds of the way through the lap it cut loose. That equaled a soaked couple and a soaked dog. He hates baths so this was torture for him. I will have to work on my weather prediction skills.

People looked at me like I was crazy. After my wife got home we both went out & walked around a little in the light rain & yes we were the only people walking. It's what your used to. We lived 5 years in Holland & if you didn't get out in the rain, you didn't get out.

Well, my gripe isn't so much about the heat outside: it's anywhere between 90 - 100 degrees most of June, July, and August and I'm used to that. However, my manager does not like AC (doesn't even have one at her house) so we have NO AC at the office. Then, I go to the gym after work and they expanded it a couple years ago (good news) but didn't upgrade the AC units (bad news) so it's overworked and just conks out most of the time. It is 80- 83 degrees INSIDE the gym. After an hour of cardio I sweat so much it comes out of the tops of my hands! That's just weird. But, it's been this way both places for the last several years, so I know to expect it.

It's not the heat! It's the humidity! That always cracks me up when somebody says that. But we do have a free sauna here for the entire summer if you like things like that.

It got up to 40°C / 104F here today with the humidity. It's now a cool 38°C / 100.4F with the humidity.
This sucks raw eggs.
