Hey fellow weather posters -I ahve started this new thread as the old
one getting way to slow to load.
The weather here today is wet, wet, wet !
It is just pouring down now -no hope of doing anything except be
indoors, but can't complain on a lazy Sunday afternoon I guess!
Roast dinner for tea will warm us up :)

Think you must be needing more rain than England, just light drizzle here - there was a downpour while drumming outside yesterday, not good, the drum skins went all loose, had to put them in the cabin to dry out!

it was gorgeously gorgeous. 34% humidity, no clouds, and 83 glorious degrees. Now as the solstice sun gets ready to comes up it is in the 60's and 75% humidity and lightly cloudy sky. Looking for showers and maybe thunderstorms and highs in the 80's again.

Yes, lovely to see you iljung -and sounds like you had a wonderful day!
True,Tai we do need the rain -but too much for too long gets us down!
Today there is very little difference in our day and night temps-
we are going from 15 to 17 degrees and more rain,rain, rain!

Dull, and damp today…Went warm but cloudy with bits of sunshine yesterday afternoon, so went out for a bike ride and meditated by the stream.  Lots of people walking their dogs - the dogs loved paddling in the water, people were friendly, but an old labrador nearly had me off my bike, he was slow and just moved out infront of me while I was cycling over the bridge - didn't take my camera for once, just needed to ride hard, broke the ride with meditation on a bench by the stream.

It is summer here in Minnesota. Set a record 94 today and predicted 96 tomorrow. Light winds out of the SW @ 4-5mph and reasonable humidity and cotton candy puffy clouds from horizon to horizon.
We had a very mild spring with a lot of rain to make up the drought we were suffering and temps only reaching 90 once and rarely in the 80's.

WELL, it might be 22 deg here, but the humidity is so far down-
it is freezing!
( Jenny, I am sure it is more than me just being a “sooky lal la ” -lol )

We have had quite a bit of rain here Tai, and though it has been clear
for a few days -it's coming back! Even have storms forecast for this
afternoon -but at the moment it is so still -not a trace of wind even.

Managed to help the M in L yesterday to do a few chores in her
garden though -and make a dump trip!

It's 72 indoors here and about the same humidity - mix of cloud and sun, been having showers and sunshine for last few days.

My mum and dad have been busy in the garden for a few days - I've not done much, just watered a bit, need to give conservatory plants loads of water and have the waterfall unit on - noticed scale insects on rubber plant, need to sort that too..

Re: What's the weather like today?

Cloudy and rainy on and off today. We let the bunnies out of their hutch for a run this morning and they got caught in the rain. Normally when we go to put them back in they hide. Today I went out to get them and first Yoda came straight to me just asking to be put in and Hazel sat waiting for me to pick her up. She was dripping wet and had little seeds all through her fur.
Yesterday the humidity was 97%. I would rather it just rained.

Re: What's the weather like today?

No storms Tai, but like Jenny ,cloudy though no rain.
Temperatures are down again -11 deg.tonight I think?

Those bunnies sound SO cute Jenny -I must say I am really missing having a pet!
But to get one would mean having to find someone to mind them when we are away.
Today I felt such a longing to be down your way -we are in fact considering
selling up and moving down there!

Re: What's the weather like today?

jitendar said Jun 27, 12:45 AM:

 

The weather? Well, i'm from India. The monsoons are overdue around here, so it's hot as hell! Dry too! It's next to impossible to go to sleep without the fan on and god help you if you go to sleep without turning it on…

You'll wake up in a puddle of your own sweat in a few hours time.

>_<

But, I don't mind the heat. It's just that since the monsoons aren't here, farmers are having trouble with their crops. A lot of people (in a country like India) depend on the rains for agriculture. If the rains are late, their crops die, and so do their means for survival.

…so I hope it rains soon…

Here in MN we are having rain. Bands of thundershowers with light soaking rain in between. Humidity at 100% so I just got human again with a shower of my own.
Unfortunately someone flipped their car on a curve into a tunnel as I was driving home. There were already people getting him out and the rest of us needed to not get rear ended. Sending hope that everyone is alright.
Just saw the world weather that the monsoons are 2 weeks late but coming. Hope the crops hold out.

Hi beloved tai!
It cooled off here while I was asleep and was so wonderful I went out and pulled all the weeds that the last week of rain and 90+ temp and humidity had created. A brief thundershower went through that dropped the temp from 75 to a wonderfully comfortable 63.

mornin' iljung - it's 76 F here - pressure 1020, humidity around 78 % - loads of rain last night - the sunrise was awesome this morning - sort of glowed with a halo, very divine and beautiful - think the air has cleared now too, can breathe better, good air quality I think - raises the spirits.  Bet my weeds have grown too!  great growing weather here in England - we didn't get the expected thunder, had very heavy rain instead just after tea, just a little dampness in the air now.
Blessings on your day

Its pretty and sunny this morning and I have to work. Looking like a really pleasant day too. Will have to make up some excuses to go outside. Currently 10'C and it should get up to about 20' during the day.

My naughty little girl bunny, Hazel, escaped and when I got home Amy and Sally were running round the backyard trying to catch her in the dark. Yoda was good and allowed himself to be put back in easily, but not Hazel, oooo no. She's way too smart for that. Finally caught her and put a brick in the hole they dug.

Been meaning to ask Tai, what is the Divinity IN?

Weather fine 17'C. very dark outside.

morning Jenny, tai, sandy
My Dad's dog Blaze is getting old and her hearing and eyesight are going. I let her out when I get home from work @ 6am before feeding her. Before if there was a rabbit in the yard Blaze would fruitlessly tear off and the rabbit would dive down it's bunny hole. Now Blaze is not really sure want that blob is out in the yard and the rabbit is not sure if sitting perfectly still is the best defense so they have these endless “Mexican standsoffs” and I want to go to bed so I make a loud noise and the rabbit takes off and Blaze tries to remember why she was standing there.
It is a gloriously cool 62F here in the great Upper Midwest with light breezes and low humidity. Sat watching the sunrise for 2 hours from the Minnesota River valley in my stalled car. Very beautiful. So was Dad's push home.

Thanks for the bunny stories Jen and iljung, they make me smile - LOTS!
Great pic iljung - may the solstice sunrise bring you good fortune (and all the rest of us too!)

it is 53F/13C with clouds and a cool breeze here in New Hope, MN, USA. High humidity but one does not notice it with the cool temps.
Quite a change from the 95F/35C of a couple of days ago. Suppose to be in the high 70's/ mid 20's all week which unusual for this time of year. Not complaining. Here is a beaut of a sundog I found on the net. peace.

Colin took me to Sydney today to the Eye Hospital. My eye is acting up again. It was really cold down there, 11'C and 76% humidity and bitter wind chill factor. Havent been that cold since I was living in Canberra. We had a nice day though after getting out of the eye hospital, went and had lunch in the Queen Victoria Building. Its very old and beautifully restored with original stained glass windows and original timbers and flooring that has been restored not renovated. When I was a child we always went there when we went to Sydney.
