I'm so sorry y'all. 79° and rainy.

I bet it shot the humidity up some more, eh?
Not much difference day to day now. High today will be 96°, humidity 63%.

 

[Bacpacker]

It sure did. temp dropped by 10 degrees for a little while, nice breeze. Then right back where it was.

If you ever wondered why we consistently have dewpoints in the low/mid 70s, which is on par with many tropical spots during the summer, look no further than the seemingly-endless fields of corn within the region. Corn releases tremendous amounts of water into the air every single day. This process, called transpiration, can easily add 5 degrees to the dewpoint over what would otherwise be the case. Dewpoints are typically very high in the midwestern corn belt this time of year as the corn crop matures in the region. This will tend to subside somewhat by mid-August, usually signalling an end to the oppressive dewpoints/humidity for the season.

73/96 today.

 

[Peanut]

Lower temps today... 85, humidity about 60%, down right pleasant outside.

 

[Patchouli]

eh, what's this, no weather?
We had brief thunderstorm here late last night.
Coming back home from the city this late day, beautiful storm clouds built up again and we've got more rain, thunder, sunshine. It cooled off fast. High was 94, felt like hell. Cooled down to 76.

 

[VThillman]

That same sag in the jet stream that's going to keep Laura out of the North has chilled things down here. 49 last night, going to be 45 tonight. Was in the 60s and windy today. Maybe 70 for a high tomorrow.

 

[backlash]

We are starting to cool off. Nights are getting cool enough that I close my bedroom window.

 

[Bacpacker]

We've been in the 80 for a couple weeks. Today 91. Spotty rain storms most every day for last 2 weeks as well. Just typical East Tennessee summer.

 

[Weedygarden]

Highs in the 90's for several days. This afternoon, donder and blitzen (thunder and lightening). I know there was rain, but at my house, it didn't hit the ground. It was gone by then. I am hoping the areas with fires got some of it as well. It is supposed to cool down a little.

 

[joel]

Cooler than last week.

 

[Supervisor42]

We got us some wind and some rain .

 

[Peanut]

Today it was hot, bright sun, temps about 95, humidity about 80%. The heat index was 105+. When I got home I found that the remnants of TS Marcos had dumped about 1.5 inches of rain yesterday.

Supposed to be hot again tomorrow. The remnants of hurricane Laura will get here sometime "Friday-ish". The weatherman actually used that term tonight, too funny.

Put those devil winds to work. A small version of an old-timey windmill and a storage tank would likely work fine if it only needs to supply water to the garden.
If you don't have that much wind, you won't need that much water and vice-versa.
Yes they still work, and they don't cost that much money:

You may well(pun) find it supplying backup power too for you in the future by charging backup batteries when it's not pumping water.

This one is 6' dia, 27' tall. There are smaller ones.

Excellent idea, Supervisor. There're a lot of the big wind turbines within 20 miles or so to the east and even more further west towards Boise. I need to find an Aermotor distributor and have a talk with him to see if the wind in my area would make a windmill feasible. Thanks for the tip!

 

[hiwall]

Very, very dry summer here.

 

[phideaux]

Looks like Laura has her sights set on West KY.
Looking for up to 5" of rain an 50-60 mph winds late this evening tonightish.

This has been the wettest summer I can ever remember.

We just got an inch Tuesday, right after I mowed. Grass needs mowing again .uugghh

Was out in it early this morning before it got too bad.
Sun this morning at 6:30 was a red rubber ball ( remember that song ?lol)

Remember liking the music, and most of the lyrics, but not the sunrise as 'Red Rubber Ball'. My imagination doesn't stretch that far, in that direction.

Hmmph! It was supposed to get up tp near 70 today. 56 ain't all that close.

 

[Bacpacker]

No rain last couple days. Been 70s/90s. Probably get some rain tomorrow night and Saturday morning. Probly not more than a couple inches at most. We will be pretty much south edge of the storm as it moves thru.

[Weedygarden]

82/60, 40% chance of rain! Woohoo! We have had a high in the 90's for about 10 days. We are going to have high's in the 80's for at least a week, with Tuesday predicted to have a high of 75. It has been too hot to get much done outside. I am really hoping to be able to get more work done outside in the next week.
