Well, it's smoky around here - worst so far - thanks Canada
My brother in law lives in a suburb of Cleveland. He said he woke up this morning and smelled heavy smoke and was running around like a maniac because he thought his house was on fire!
Pretty smoky here across the river from the Ren Cen today.
Weatherman says we’re in for a hotter , dryer summer. The week ahead…….
When we have these long spells of 110 degree days, that’s when we start losing plants in our yard. We’ve had years were we lost entire mature hedges. Slowly but surely I’ve been replacing green leafy plants with heat and drought tolerant desert plants.

It finally stopped raining for now. The flooding around here is really bad and I have several friends and family members stuck in their homes but they are on high ground.The forecast is for even more rain in the coming days. Damn.
So Ads, which of these days do you consider very warm???Cardiff weather is sht today. Showers and squalls; very warm. Possible thunder later.
No chance to test ride the GONZO install on my bike today

OK I don’t live in a desert, but I was sweating, like a pig in an abattoir, in the shop today climbing up and down a ladder changing sodium lamps in the warehouse, so there!
Rain is still
tho’Temperature, like so many other things, is relative! It is 29*C and humid in Montreal. That is uncomfortable. 29*C, dry and slightly breezy in Florida in winter is delightful!OK I don’t live in a desert, but I was sweating, like a pig in an abattoir, in the shop today climbing up and down a ladder changing sodium lamps in the warehouse, so there!

True! On another forum, https://thelonelyones.co.uk/ there was a chap from Perth, W Australia said that's it, putting his W800 in the garage till next year because temps were now down to the high teens, like 18-19°C.
I pointed out that in Scotland, when temps are up to the high teens we call that Summer.
Today will be high teens, if we're lucky and the rain stops or lower under the 'prolonged showers and more continuous periods of rain' promised by the weather people.
When I'm getting wet, I can never tell if it's a prolonged shower or continuous rain, as if that mattered.
The water is finally starting to go down but we're supposed to get some severe storms tonight and tomorrow. View of a friends place just a couple of miles from me. The water started coming up through the floor so you would need diving gear to get in the cellar.
Crap... we just got slammed. Downtown airport about 3 miles south just reported 75mph winds. Power is off and on. About 150k without power right now....
This is a 20 min downpour... just shy of 4 inches. 
Thankfully it's let up to a light rain.

I'll take some of that rain
We got MAYBE A 1/3 of and inch last night and were still in a months long drought
The rain kinda seems to be going north and south of us this summer

The UK is having un-seasonal rain and gales - not normal July fare! Meanwhile much of Europe is burning up under record-breaking heat waves - as the current system moves north, temps in N Africa over 50°C expected to move into Italy and Greece. 50 Centigrade is 122 Fahrenheit.
The met office girl on Radio 4 this morning says the contrasting weather is due to disruption of the jet stream - the summer air flow is further south than usual. Oh well, I'd probably rather have the rain than the extreme heat.
Today Scotland will have 17°C and slow-moving heavy thunder storms.

I saw something about two repeatable weather phenomena happening together this year. One is El Niño and I don’t remember the name of the other. If I can believe the source, they are the reason for crazy weather and record heat. Probably at least in part.
Today we stand at 18 consecutive days above 110 degrees, which broke the all time record!
This is our forecast , no end in sight, even some of my desert plants in my yard are dying. This is crazy.

Remember a TV commercial about messing with Mother Nature?
It could be coming to pass.
