Our morning began with clear skies, but now we have clouds. Radar is showing rain approaching from the west but most shouldn’t affect us until tomorrow. There is a chance that some severe storms could materialize but I’ll consider us lucky to even get any rain. Most of the time, it dries up or misses us. Today and tomorrow will be very warm with highs expected in the mid 80s, but next week is expected to be more comfortable. Our…
Our great late summer weather continues. Temperatures today will be in the normal range and dry conditions will prevail. There is no rain in the forecast until tomorrow night and Monday, so most of the weekend will be fine for any summer activities. Winds will be light today with plenty of sun, so I’m going to go out and enjoy what’s left of our summer weather. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 76°F, the humidity is 57%, and winds are from…
Today has been warm and it has threatened to rain, but we only have had a few sprinkles so far. Radar looks promising but most of the rain seems to fall apart before reaching us. We could use some rain, and I’m debating if I should go out and water the garden. I’m thinking that I should. Our 5:30 PM temperature is 78°F, the humidity is 69%, and the dew point is 67°F. The pressure is 29.87 in and falling. …
Today will be very summer-like, probably one of the few that we have left. Highs are expected to reach the mid 80s and we should see plenty of sun. Our last summer holiday is only a week away and I hope that it will be a nice one. I’ve heard many conflicting weather predictions for fall, including one saying that we have a large mass of cold air coming our way. But I’ve seen prediction be wrong so many times,…
I love this weather. Evenings, nights and early mornings are quite humid, but the afternoons are comfortable. Rain is spotty at best, and temperatures are perfect. I haven’t had to turn the AC on until the afternoon, as my house has been staying quite cool as long as I don’t open any windows. Then the nights cool off so that I can turn it off again . It’s hard to believe that August is coming to an end already. I…
Yesterday was quite nice but we did have a few sprinkles of rain in the afternoon. There were no big storms, just a few popup thundershowers and most didn’t amount to much. Today has been cloudy so far with a few peeks of the sun. It’s supposed to clear up later and highs should reach the upper 70s. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 72°F, the humidity is 82%, and skies are mostly cloudy. Winds are from the ESE at 2-6…
Yesterday was a rather strange day with popup showers and thunderstorms. Through the day, we heard plenty of distant thunder but we only had one shower which dropped 0.06″ of rain in the afternoon. Then during the overnight, we received the rest, giving us a total of 0.24″ in all. There is rain in our forecast today but the radar isn’t showing any heading in our direction. Most of it is up north and we have sun at the present…
I’m already seeing some storms popping up on radar so I think we will have a wet weekend ahead. I haven’t watered my garden for a few days, so I’m hoping that the rain doesn’t all miss us. My weather station is showing one lightning strike 11 miles away, but radar isn’t showing anything coming our way as yet. I don’t think we’ll see much sun today but that will help keep the temperatures down. I’m seeing a few raindrops…
We have had great weather all this week and today will be no exception. This weekend, however, will be wet if the local weather gurus have it right. We should see an increase in cloud cover later but no rain is expected until tomorrow. Temperatures will cool down a little but will remain in the average range. This has been a nice summer weather-wise. At least I think so. Those 90 degree days have been too warm for my liking,…
There were numerous thunderstorms which popped up yesterday afternoon, and just like Tuesday, they were moving from the NE to the SW, and remained to the East of us. Most places received very little rain, but others got hail with heavy, brief showers. We only got a few sprinkles of rain here. The cloud formations were beautiful and they did little to bock the sun. We took a ride out to our park in Laingsburg, where this picture was taken, …
