Broke a record from 2018. Storm clouds to the north. Down to 106. 
We hit 93, with a 103 HI.
It was cold when I went out this morning at 9:30am, 73° with a wind as the rain was ending (.77") .
I shoulda worn a jacket.
Did I mention that it rains every day down here? ...Every, damday!
I should bottle some of this and ship it to @Pearl and @Patchouli

I send you all those cold fronts, least you could do is send a little rain!!
You can keep the cold fronts, but we do have an overabundance of the other stuff.We are getting some of your humidity!
...I just can't find a big enough bottle to ship it to you 'next day air'

Express AIR delivery might work!!You can keep the cold fronts, but we do have an overabundance of the other stuff.

It only got up to 93 today. Supposed to be high of 94 tomorrow and 97 on Sunday. Not triple digits but still going to do my outside work early this weekend.
95 today, 96 tomorrow. Triple digit heat index. Not excitied about mowing tomorrow.
Heard last night a small town in Knox co had over 7 inches of rain in about 4 hours. Storm hit and just set there. My parents had 2 inches, we are a good bit away and only got .48"

Frustrating drought conditions still in effect... clouds build above but no rain falls. At least the cloud cover lowers the temps a bit.
Garden is NOT liking this ongoing drought, guess I'll be watering more than usual in my effort to keep things alive...

Hot! I'm so grateful for an evaporative cooler!
Not as bad today, 103°, humid, breezy. Warming up through late next week!
96 today
It rained here, but not for long... enough to wet the ground and the trees for 10 minutes, which is better than nothing. In the high desert, ANY amount of rain is welcome! Clouds are lingering too, so with luck we'll see some more rain...
106°!
Clouds have been keeping our temps lower too, which helps those plants struggling in the garden...
Raining again!!! 
Now, now you gotta have 112 to play.
Our 'daily rain' was a dismal disappointment today
.Lots of loud boom-booms, fierce CTG lightening, but not enough rain to register on the gauge
I'm thinking about filing a complaint, we are growing stuff down here!
...Did I mention that we grow thaheck out of strawberries?

Running 6 sprinklers every night for 45-60 minutes strictly for a boundary around house in case of fire. People are loosing chickens. Lady in Sunday School said they found bull dead this morning. 100 plus for month and NO moisture. Lows around 78 at night. I have faith we will get rain but temperatures are hard. Friend told me they finished combining corn and have baled corn stalks for first time. He said feast or famine
96 and clear as a bell today. Weather forecast is calling for 50% chance of rain for the next 5 days
Becoming a desert here!!

Its about 70 degs here right now, after a high of 80. No rain in sight. For the month of July we got one tenth of an inch of rain. We never get any rain in August or September, sometimes dry lightning though. One of our timber properties was in the middle of a 300,000 acre fire a few years ago. Every stick and tree burned. Two years ago an even larger fire burned to within a half mile from our property.
I wish.
When I said 'we', I was talking about down here in LA.
Those are from Ponchatoula, LA. (Near Hammond, LA)
Here's just a few more:
Edit: Since I know you love math, if the boxes are stacked 5 high, 5 rows of boxes across each row, and there are 3 rows of boxes, 5X5X3, +5 on the display in the back .......equals how many strawberries?
(And that is just ONE vendor!
) Sorry, I got off topic.Edit#2: You were supposed to correct me and say there are 6 boxes on display in the back
