How’s the weather?

Meanwhile, in the north, I have one strip of snow about 2 feet wide and 20 feet long in my entire lot. By tomorrow, it should be gone. They're predicting 10c (50f) so I can move a tree that fell (harmlessly except to itself) in a winter windstorm, and start planning my garden.

Double digits. 10 degrees. This is meaningful.

Grumble, grumble...

While I don't really trust long range forecasts but here is what we, in Sheridan, WY, are supposed to expect. Keep in mind that we are currently in a winter storm watch.

Your climate has potential.
We had a glorious day yesterday, and I worked out back at 10c, with no jacket. This morning my buddies the crows are acting nervous, and we have a freezing rain storm predicted. No matter - winter's back is broken and the sunlight is stronger and stronger every day.

Nice drizzle here, in the mid 70s, bit muggy but we need the rain

It started raining late yesterday afternoon and I had 1 and 7/10 inches in my rain gauge. Still going today and I read another 1 and 9/10 inches. This never happens here. Rainy old June like it used to be but hasn’t been for years.

I'm borderline drought here. Rain keeps going around me. 90 today I think

Summer solstice still over a week away, but this...very humid, too...not for the faint of heart, or those who aren't used to it

AND, hurricane season started June 1, so there's that

65F and heavy rain, finallyyyy. I don’t think it’s rained since April. My grass is crunchy.

Hellish....mix in the high humidity levels, and it's pretty rough...especially to newcomers here who aren't used to it

Breeze helps, but not much of it here lately

Normal summer warm here in south central Montana . We had a cool rainy spring like in the olden days and all the countryside and trees look great this year . The weatherman is calling for high eighties, low nineties this week . Minimal humidity . The river looks good and not so low as it usually is this time of year . Very unlike things the rest of North America is experiencing. I feel blessed .

Sounds wonderful...

It is wonderful but I am not so complacent as to think that things couldn't go another way . We still have to get through August which is almost always our hottest month . A few days or a week of hundred degree days with zero humidity and we dry up like an old newspaper . Forest fire season hasn’t hit yet and that can be pretty bad .

Even my dogs aren't wanting to stay outdoors for long...I can't imagine these temps in a fur coat

That’s something I have always wondered about . How do dogs stand the heat ? They look miserable and they never miss a chance to lay in the grass in the shade . Funnier yet is how comfortable they look in even the coldest winter . Do dogs sweat or is it the panting alone that cools them off ?
