Rain Last Evening!

 Good experience. Great cloud formations, streaks of lightening, a strike very close I estimate at a ted less than a quarter mile, which is more than close enough. Cool winds, and finally rain. I think we had several showers last night after I went to bed. 50% chance today, tomorrow, and next day. That's very good. Nothing severe in the forecast but maybe dangerous lightening and local flooding. This is a good way to finish June and enter July. 







I've done a lot of work outside lately. I've needed to use mosquito repellant. West Nile has been detected again.

Swampy

 Warm cloudy and humid conditions with thunderstorm chances continue. Not a lot of sunshine lately. No heat dome for us, at least. More like a continuing stream of moist air. We are doing quite well on rainfall totals. 







Once in a while we actually get to see a GREEN Lubbock!

MORE Rain!

 It was very muggy yesterday and I got more rain in the afternoon, which was great, and probably more overnight. Now we get a chance to dry out. Lots of sunshine but it won't be especially hot, and that's good.

Rained Again! In The Dark! In The Night!

 I was really not expecting that. And it seems to have been a fairly good fall of rain at that. It was soggy, it got dry, and now soggy again. 








I've been encountering a lot of trumpsters on short fuses lately. I can't imagine what could be bothering them. They got what they wanted, didn't they? Massive deficits? War? Labor shortages in agribusiness and construction?

Cool Cloudy Windy

 It's a switch of a sort in our weather. The day begins cool and cloudy and windy. We don't seem to be currently afflicted by a "heat dome". 







Otherwise, SOSO.

Hot Dry Windy

Otherwise it is SOSO. 







 SOSO is OK with me.

Very Hot Yesterday

 In the late afternoon clouds gathered to the northwest and the wind shifted. The cloud cover became very heavy and then rain. The rain and wind cooled things off nicely and this morning it was still windy and very comfortable. We get a break in the heat. Very nice on the patio this morning. So much accomplished yesterday, despite the heat, that I have little to do today. No complaints. 







More rain storms are possible this evening.

Hot Today Hotter Tomorrow

 Had to happen. But lower humidity and at least some wind helps. 







Mosquitoes have arrived as well. Sunscreen and mosquito repellant. Let's get goopy.
