Was it raining hard in Dover, FL last weekend? Well, it rained hard enough so that catfish could swim out of the local pond and down the street...

It rained for 24 days in May here in Texas - we had fish swimming down streets too!

Fish swimming down streets? Unreal. I can't say as I have ever experienced that.
Just been plain HOT here. Rain would be welcome, but it isn't in the forecast.
At least I am getting my moneys worth from the car wash I got. lol

 

[Sookie]

Well we haven't seen any rain since those 24 days of it in May, now it is HOT HOOT HOT and everything is dry again like it never happened. I'm ready for winter, that is my favorite.

The boss man was telling me about the amount of rain they had. I didn't realize it was that much rain though! Holy catfish!

He was happy it stopped so he could mow the lawn

Oh my goodness Sookie. Those are some hot temps. No thank you.
Weather here today is a nice rain shower, which we need, and around 75.
Helps my pumpkin patch grow and grow. hehe

Hang in there Sookie, cooler temps are coming. Stay hydrated if you go out in the stuff.

 

[Mben]

We have had some nice rainy, overcast days lately. Brought our temps down. Yay

But by this weekend, I see 105 and 106 again. So glad I'll be in California then where it will be in the 80's and 90's.

I was sitting on my porch last night and I watched it start to rain in a little area of the porch that was like 2 feet by 2 feet. It rained for a minute and a half in that little spot and stopped. Texas is so weird.

 

[Mben]

I escaped Tucson's heat warning this past weekend only to end up in California where the humidity absolutely killed me the one day we were in the Anaheim area. San Diego the next day was a little muggy but was ok.

Seriously folks, when they talk about the dry heat in AZ (and heat can be 110-115 degrees), it is just that ... DRY (when the monsoon isn't here) and is HEAVEN!

 

[PMM]

Oh, a gorgeous day today in Michigan. Cooler temps all week. Today high of 69. Abundant sunshine.
Cooler nights around 50-55. That will start to make the leaves change color.

I would love more months of Summer, but that would put off the football season start. Can't have that. Added NFL Network to my cable lineup a few days ago. Football is amazing. Gooooo Detroit Lions.

 

[Sookie]

Must be nice to have actual seasons. This is Texas, it is summer. It will remain summer until it becomes winter.

TIMES FOR MY AREA ...

I'm not sure that a lunar eclipse counts as "weather", but you're the expert...

Here's the weather I was in on Wed on Sanibel Island, FL. Thanks "Patricia"! Grrrrr!

 

[Sookie]

Bummer about not getting to go sea shell hunting but still beautiful.

 

[Mben]

From temps in the mid 80's in the beautiful Bahamas for me last week ...

... to this in Tucson this week. We're at 83 degrees today.

"Highs dropping nearly 20 degrees by Thursday! Wind and rain coming!"

I see pots of "soup" and "chili" in my forecast.
