Kinda wet, here. Almost 10" of rain since it began around dinner time yesterday. My neighborhood is a bit higher, so the only problem is the old drain tiles around my foundation; they fill up w/ sediment over the years and can't handle this much rain this fast. Little rivers of water, coming from all four walls, make their way to the floor drain. Anything sitting on the floor gets wet, but cigars and coffee are fine. The poor saps that live closer to the rivers, their basements have several feet of standing water in them. It's supposed to stop raining in a day or two, and then we'll dry out.
Glad to hear you have a paddle for that creek, Peter.
Right now I'm enjoying a morning pipe with coffee and right now at 7:00 AM it's a nice, cool 61.5 F outside with 62 % humidity. I'm afraid it's going to be another hot one today, with the heat threatening my plans to enjoy a free outdoor concert tonight.

Monsoon. I hope you have a dehumidifier down there so things don't get moldy.
The dehumidifier is running non-stop. I monitor the basement humidity fastidiously because, as you know, high humidity is the main enemy of green coffee. Right now it's ~70%.
Fun fact: my dehumidifier was left here by the previous owner... almost 43 years ago.
Aw, go to Home Depot and get a new one, it won't last as long but you will be saving the economy.

Still in a summer-long drought, most of the rain has either gone north or south of us, and when it is headed straight toward us it splits to either side of the Cape. We haven't mowed the lawn since early June. We are limited to running the sprinkler system two days a week and it doesn't do much good. The neighbors with golf course lawns cheat.

108 & 109 the last couple days, cooling off to 106 today, but it's a dry heat
66 degrees this morning and should have a high of mid 70's. Great weather to work outside.
Mid 90s unless it's night time or raining. Then in the 80s
Luckilynwe have been getting some rain or all the grass/weeds would be brown

Hot and a little hazy with smoke from Canadian wildfires apparently,

Got up to 97 here today. It’s definitely been cooling down over the last week.
Not sure if this was @VegasFrank @dirtdude @OutdoorsSmoke_21191 @OmgFrigginMike or @Yakster
Probably @Yakster, he's the only one who would use the word butt instead of @ss.
High of 75 today, breezy. Perfect summer day. Thank you, climate change.

Just the calm before the hurricane.

Sure could use the rain. PEI potato farmers too.

So glad this beast missed us
Downright marvelous, and getting better.

Getting a little rain, cooled off considerably, a little early to call it fall but it's in the air.
