We had a brief shower this morning which left 0.06″ in my rain gauge. Hopefully, we’ll get a lot more. There is rain predicted for most of the day, not a steady rain, just scattered thunderstorms. Right now the sun is trying to peek through and temps are on the rise. We should see a high in the upper 70s this afternoon. Maybe the sun will bring on some of those thunderstorms. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 65°F (18°C), the…
Our weather feels more like early May instead of June. We have a few days of below average temperatures but it did bring us some rain. More is expected this afternoon and later this week. We’ll take all we can get. I don’t mind the cool temps but do prefer it to reach into the 70s ideally. At least the ground isn’t drying out so quickly. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 64°F (17°C), the humidity is 60%, and winds are…
We had rain most of Sunday and we received 0.20″ and we are grateful for it. Yes, we could use a lot more, and that could happen tomorrow. The air seems cleaner now and most of the smoke and dust seem to have settled. The sun was out briefly a while ago but didn’t last long. Yesterday and today will have highs only in the 60s. Our 3 PM temperature is 62°F (17°C), the humidity is 58%, and winds are…
Any rain is appreciated but we need a lot more than what we’ve gotten so far. Radar is showing a lot more to come, but it only looks like light rain. we need a good downpour. We have about a 2-3 inch rain deficit for this year so far and it will take about a week’s worth of good, steady, moderate rain to make it up. I’m not seeing that as a possibility anytime soon. At least, we’re getting enough…
Our skies are basically clear but still have a brownish haze visible from the Canadian wildfires. There is satellite imagery showing that these fires are probably purposely set which is criminal. I hope the Canadian government finds out who is doing it. As for us, we are expecting some much needed rain beginning tonight and lasting over the next several days. It is expected to do much to clear our air, at least for the near future. It won’t do…
Our air is still filled with smoke from the Canadian wildfires, mostly in the sky. This morning was very hazy as a result but it doesn’t seem as bad now. Once the rain comes this weekend, things should be better, or at least that’s what they’re telling us. It sounds like we could get a good dousing, maybe even up to an inch of rain. That would be wonderful. Our sunrises and sunsets have been orange lately. At least…
Although we still can see a lot of smoke overhead, at least it isn’t here at ground level like it was late yesterday. The rain that is expected this weekend is supposed to clear our air and get rid of a lot of the smoke. I sure hope so. Our temperatures will remain right at the average point today and skies should be clear. An air quality alert is still in effect until noon on Friday. Our 12:45 PM…
Air Quality Map PM2.5 92 Moderate: If you are unusually sensitive to particle pollution, consider reducing your activity level or shorten the amount of time you are active outdoors. Our skies don’t seem to be as smoke-filled as the few previous days, and temperatures are a little below where they should be. We keep hearing that we should get some rain this weekend, and I’m sure hoping that it’s true. Today is the 15th day with no rain and lawns are…
I’m not sure if our overcast is caused by clouds or smoke from the Canadian wildfires. It probably is both. Regardless, we aren’t seeing any sun so far and our temperature is in no hurry to reach the expected high today. This is our 14th day with no rain an it sounds like we could get some on Sunday. I just hope it’s enough to do some good. Our 3:15 PM temperature is 69°F (21°C), the humidity is 48%, and…
Today is much more comfortable so I’ll try to get my flowers in the ground. Our sky still has a lot of smoke from the wildfires to our north which makes it appear cloudier than it actually is. The sun is managing to shine through however. Winds are very light so it’s perfect for being outdoors. Highs will only reach the low 80s and that’s perfect for me. Our 1PM temperature is 78°F (26°C), the humidity is 30%, and winds…
