Weather in your garden # 101

88° Out early to church & I think that is it. No working in the garden. I think that I will probably end up in our room which as the air conditioner. Have a paper letter to work on.

Very hot, but to me acceptable. This morning went into the garden, 7ish came out and almost passed out. Jim was in the garage painting a truck and he said I almost ran into it.

Oh well - wear shorts, not a heavy T-shirt and Jeans.

It is now 90 but as we have a pretty cool house, I have managed to stay in the main part. My not last the day though.

Got out there in the heat this afternoon to dig up and replant (correctly) a bunch of my iris's that I had planted with the rhyzome underground. One of the best things about a DG RU is that you can learn so much from each other. Of course that's true here online as well, but being together allows us to assess problem situations and get good advice in person.

Lucy, I'm glad your house cooled off so you could come out of the bedroom. lol We do the same thing here when it gets too hot in the rest of the house. It doesn't happen often, but it sounds like that time may be on its way.

very hot today. This is what I was doing.

Opps, forgot to post the pic. Alice and I today.

Very nice!
(... I would definitely wear a Clint Eastwood hat and a poncho while doing that) ☺

78°, H61%, temps dropping

Today I hacked away at the thicket on my hill throughout the morning. Seems the heat is slowing progress but I am determined to turn the area into a garden. There are lots of unwanted shrubs such as rampant privet and burning bush to pull. Don't know why I'm in such a hurry-- if it's so hot and dry maybe all but the most drought tolerant plants should wait in their pots in the shade until it gets rainy in September.

Oh Jumper, im hot just seeing you in long sleeves and pants! But you look very dignified......lovely picture. ^_^

boots & helmet are killers as well.. pretty shot though.. did you have fun?

yes I had fun. Next time it's that hot I'm losing the jacket(if it's allowed)

I loved shows that allowed us to have short sleeve western shirts.. and waved our hat rule.. the ones that had a huge spectator count never did.. which was understandable.. it's part of the show

90° today. More tomorrow & we need to shop for grocers (morning) & I see asthma doc in the afternoon. sigh.

Hot day today. Hit 90, but was not too humid.

Great day yesterday. We had a great time, as always. Was out until about 3. Did not get much sleep so I am pooped.

Wow, it was in the high 90s here yesterday, but the thermometer that's in the sun was over 100. I know that's a no-no, but since my body would be in the sun, isn't that the temp. that I'd be experiencing? Any way, didn't do it. DH waited until mid day to mow the lawn against my wishes and kept coming in to cool down. Sometimes he can be so stubborn.

The good news is the radish seeds my summer school kids lovingly put in the ground last week are up to wave their lovely heads at the kids today. Thank goodness. They just need to stay alive for two more weeks for the kids to observe and measure.

Today 75% chance of severe thunderstorms. I guess there's no such thing as rain anymore.

We are heading upwards of 90 again today....lazy, hazy days of summer are here.
72 at the moment w 64% humidity severe thunderstorm warning for today. :(

oh yeah... sticky out there already.. supposed to get some storms this afternoon.. 69 now going to 91

73 and humid, going up to 90, yuck!

78° & heading towards 90 & humid.

90 already. 50% H. T-storms later. Hideous forecast for Wed-Fri.

87°, wind from the Southwest at 12mph. H 58%, partly cloudy

At our predicted high of 87°, isolated afternoon thunderstorms this afternoon. Dropping down to 72° tonight.

- Nice by the shore with temps ~83° and a cool breeze, but inland it's an oven. - and it's not even August yet!

Actually, if you look at graphs of annual temperatures, the peak is about the third or fourth week of July, so we're right on schedule!

I hope the downward trend comes on schedule too!

Brief heavy shower about noon.

Hoping for rain here. Only 1.82 inch so far in July.

91° 56% humidity

Crud it's hot out there

Really humid now. 86, with 67% H. Cloudy. Hope we get rain out of it.

Started to rain.

Just clouds here

Pouring!

Looks like we're about to get hit by the same thunderstorm, it just crossed the Queensborough bridge!

Raining now

Got 0.53". Temp down to 79, but H up to 90%!

Nothing here

0.50", 79°, H 80%

we had 2 t-storms blow through. Helped the temp, but not the humidity.

Same here J2, storm came through (not enough rain) we went from 82 to 72 but the humidity is still @ 83%

guess the 1st round of storms missed me.. hearing a rumble now though

Here too.
