It's partly cloudy outside today.

Feels pretty good actually.

Hot without even a cloud at 82 degrees.

It's downpouring and thundering.

It's raining hard here in the fillypinnes and the storm ain't even near here!!!!

ZiggWheelsManning · July 29, 2021

Warm and clear night at 76 degrees.

Clawdeen · July 29, 2021

We have a tornado warning rn. Suppose not being able to go to work may have worked in my favor. Not that we get high level tornados here.

ZiggWheelsManning · August 1, 2021

78 degrees, sunny, rain expected, but a tad cooler :mlp_grin:

Savy · August 2, 2021

It looks like it's about to start raining pretty hard outside.

Could honestly use it though.

It’s sunny and hot here

I am hoping we are done with the 105F weather here(40.556c).

So far it's still been in the 90s though. Still no rain, and grasshoppers and crickets are now a weather item it appears. You can see them on radar.

That's really difficult heat!

We have had a cool breeze here but sunny the last two weeks, kinda cold compared to how it used to be. It slowed down the mosquitoes. But the grasshoppers and crickets own the land now! :please:

Here that's definitely true. We went to a fair and rodeo about an hour west of us and a few farmers were talking about how a cloud of grass hoppers has wiped out an entire section of corn that was waste high in two days(640 acres to a section, roughly 2 acres to a hectare I believe). Hopefully they stay over there, as east of us about two hours ranchers and farmers are having trouble keeping hay up as the hoppers are eating the sisal twine off the bales, or eating enough from the bales that they fall apart.

Last time it was this bad was in the 1980s droughts and the Air Force came in with C-130s and the B-52s(the US's great big nuclear bombers) and sprayed a massive part of the state(North Dakota) for grasshoppers and just about wiped them out. It looks like we might be there again.

So it's not really new, as the 1930s they had the same issues, and the 1960s. The 1930s they gave away poison and bait stations to anyone...with mixed results as...well it was arsenic based, which does work, but you got to make them eat it...and it made a Superfund site as it contaminated the water supply for a decent sized area where they made and mixed the poison.

Close to a green October. I would say 20% yellow and 2% red leaves. When looking at the landscape, it doesn't look like summer. Around 10 degrees Celsius and windy.
