Weather in your area?

[Bacpacker]

Come on now. You and Pearl had us all excitied.

 

[Supervisor42]

Ok. I'd like to officially apologize for complaining about our nonstop daily rains for months.
We haven't had a meaningful rain in over a month and the area is starting feel like Texas.
They are even limiting water usage in the city to the east of us.
We are not California!!
I think even a small spinny-thing would be welcomed with open arms.

Be careful of what you wish for. The “spinny thing” that is developing is named Hillary

We didn't even get to bid on that one .
Now, if they spin up one in the Caribbean called "Michelle" we will be boarding-up!

 

[Heartbroken]

Being in Louisiana, it probably wasn't built to code anyway. If Louisiana even has building codes...

As screwy as the spinny-things were last year, South Georgia may get it's 'codes' tested this year:

Oh BTW, we are bidding hard on the one on the left hoping it will skate across the bottom tip of FL and come see us.

That's Havasu's problem

Nope, goes in the book as 114° for the high!! There's always tomorrow!

 

[Mountain trapper]

76 degs here today and partly cloudy. Had a few drops of rain this morning too. Very rare to get any rain in June, July, August or September here.

I just heard that Hillary is back. Won't that old waste of skin just go away for good?

 

[DrJenner]

87 and very windy with red flag warnings.
There is a 400 acre wildfire burning to the northwest of us, hoping it doesn't reach us. The smoke is awful.

I was woke up at 2am to the strong smell of smoke. I don't think we have any close fires around here so the smoke could have come down from your fire or the ones in Oregon.

 

[Patchouli]

It was 111 at some point today. 107 now. Doesn’t feel TOO bad, right @Pearl ?

 

[Magus]

Two days, no rain. slept through all of them.

Louisiana is supposed to follow IRC (international Residential Code) for building but there are a lot of no contract handshake deals without permits. I was actually told by the health department inspector that I didn't need permits to renovate the house (although I did need permits for stuff involving septic tank). I saw about 20 construction sites in town and only 2 of them had permits (I forget the website link now, but they used to list the permits).

Mother nature is having those hot flashes again.

It actually got to 108 but I was driving so I couldn't get a picture.
I suppose I should be glad I'm not in Iran. They had a heat index of 178°F the other day.

The rain made things muggy, but at least it brought clouds and cooled things off a little bit.

70 and clear as a bell. Wonderful night

This one started at noon. Its already at 5000 acres.
We are on a level 1 evac notice. The town of Medical Lake has burned.

@Supervisor42 the gulf temp is still below 90. Even if a cane made it into the gulf it'd stay small. That's subject to change by labor day. Looking like you're correct about ga this summer. Every storm so far has skirted north of the antillies.

Nice day out 80's and no rain for 2 days.

Gulf bathtub water​

This week was the hottest the Gulf of Mexico has been on record.

The weekly average Gulf sea surface temperatures broke 88 degrees for the first time since 1981. That average takes into account all sectors of the Gulf.
The reading is a staggering 2.6 degrees Fahrenheit above the 1991 to 2020 average. ...Sea surface temperature readings in the Gulf of Mexico are in the upper 80s and even some 90s offshore.

Lots of billions of horsepower out there.
... And don't forget, we send the leftovers to you!

111° today! Two thermometers hit 112°, but all others did not, it's 111 for the weather book! That blow dryer in your face breeze is blowing too!!
