Mrs.J

.86” here with light rain still. Getting occasional lightning and soft rolling thunder. I don’t need severe but just some nice rolling thunder.

Guess watering my deck plants about 20 min ago was the trick.

I am just getting ready to go out and water my deck plants.

Thunder and lightning to my East. Older Ms.J says storms all around. Life living in the doughnut hole.

I really hope so. I am very close to just giving up on my deck plants once again for the summer. It was just today while out that I noticed that the grass has really started to go burnt and even my drought tolerant garden beds are looking stressed.

Negative for me. I see the NE pivot happening. Will take my thunder, cool down and 0.01” of precipitation.

I am refusing to look at radar until it is on me. But getting a lot of thunder and my youngest said she looked at radar and there is a lot of lightning.

101/72/112 Was out briefly breeze makes it not feel quite as thick humidity wise.

82/70/84 Juat watered my grass seed and garden and deck plants. Was quite comfortable in the shade.

98/78/116 Was out doing some errands. Stopped by our CSA to get our weekly allotment. The older Ms. J is home for the weekend and we both said it did not feel as bad as yesterday. I guess we are just somewhat used to it. Still would not be out for long.

Looking at my station data we got all the down to 77 this morning at 5:54 am. Cranking back up though. Currently at 82/76/90.

Just went out to water my deck plants. As suspected they did come back to life after wilt hibernating. I honestly cannot remember anytime where going on 10 at night it has felt as thick and gross out. What a test for the new HVAC systems we got back in April. Finally have dropped below 100 for our heat index. 99.9 currently.

9:00 and the heat index is 104. Going to have to water my plants in a bit.

101.1. At least my feels like went from 114 to 111. Had to go out onto the deck to clip some chives. Even though I soaked my deck plants early this morning the poor things just gave up.

Missed the 100. Currently at 101
