SteveP, yes enjoying nice weather here too! High of 85 real feel 95. What a relief from heat index of 105 YES I am loving it!

SteveP · August 1, 2017

Stepped outside to go to work this morning (4:30a) and it's raining. Just a steady light rain.

Jillian, this break is certainly a welcome break. Our extended forecast shows highs in the 80's for gen ex 10 days. Maybe it will stick for the month of August. I hope.

80 degrees and 79% humidity, no heat index warning as of yet this morning.

Worth1 · August 1, 2017

I drove through an area that was 66 degrees this morning.
Well below the average temperature of the drive to work.

It's only 73 here, almost feel like I need a sweater!!!

Just went outside to the garden to take a peak around. It's 97 degrees and 57% humidity. It isn't so hot to just take a quick walk out there but I couldn't stay out there. It's much better than if the humidity were extremely high also. Then I check my email and this warning came in around 2:08 pm today.

It's hot with the heat index around 108 here. I'm watching thunderstorms building to our north and west. It might be stormy tonight. 90% chance.

AlittleSalt · August 6, 2017

Thunder and lightning coming for us...the weather service naming all the cities about to get a real gully washer...oh so close

Worth1 · August 6, 2017

I'm sick of it raining around me big time.

Rockporter · August 6, 2017

I had some rain a couple days ago and it wasn't enough to skip watering. It came down really hard for a few minutes though.

Worth1 · August 6, 2017

I have been well over a month I think without any rainfall to speak of.

August is the driest month of the year for us, but it sure looked like it was gong to rain. I thought I heard rain, but when I went outside, it was just wind and dried-up oak leaves falling on the roof.

Same over here.
Finally this afternoon we had some some showers. But didn't last very long. Maybe we got 1/4". Good for the grass that is all.
More PM TS are in the forecast with 40 to 50% chance. I won't bet on it.

Temperature wise, August has been not as hot as late July, so far. Highs are mostly under 90F, with fairly low RH. So some of my tomatoes are still setting. Peppers are doing great. I keep picking half a bucket at a time, drying and freezing.
All in all, my first season down here is not bad at all. High heat is compensated with high production of just about anything I have been growing in mostly sandy soil.

Gardeneer, that is called heaven - not high heat
