Sun currently trying to poke thru. So far 0.55 in the bucket. Yeah I got a short heavy downpour after the first few wet hours and it didn't run off at all so your theory is right. My garden is hardly damp 4" down and still dry at 6". 2 hours ago, Hitman said: Blue pills? Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I had a little over .9" for the first measurable rain since July 2nd. We take the brief reprieve from watering, but a little lackluster as far as the pool and well go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 My backyard is such a respite on days like these. The sun really only gets the patio for 2 or 3 hours and the yard is ringed by 75 footers. Then as you head just downhill it's all exposed and much warmer. This creates a little breeze as the cooler shady air gets pulled down to where the hot air is rising. Don't you love when you're driving along and the AC is getting warmer not colder Uggh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonvalley21 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Went down to Point Pleasant Beach in NJ. Great day for it. Temps reached 105 in spots along the Garden State Parkway early this afternoon from the car reading. Wonder what the actual asphalt temp was. Beach and boardwalk weather was beautiful with a s/se wind around 15 steady for the day. Oh well back home to reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 95/73. I'm sure those numbers are slightly inflated by equipment limitations, but it certainly feels more toasty than yesterday.

gravitylover Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I water strategically. Usually around sunrise, then I'll do a 10 minute mist once or twice during the hot periods because most of the garden is in and out shaded and then another good deep watering in the early evening. If I wasn't on a well this would be unsustainable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must hate me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
