A rather warm (if not hot) day today, with temperatures "up" to 27°C, only sun ... until the short, but heavy thunderstorm just now (which nearly eleminated my gerania
)
Had and have really good weather here - 30°C today, and even more announced for tomorrow.
Last night, there had been severe damage due to heaviest rain in Bavavria - better now there again.
In Austria, there are these floodings today - Vienna (noon, today) nothing serious (until now, that is).
eastern lake ontario : continuing hot - 30 to 32 C - and humid, but no rain. weather office forecasts the hot weather to continue for at least another two weeks. dark clouds came up at about 6 pm, thunder started to roll - we were hoping for some rain - , suddenly the wind shifted and the clouds moved out over lake ontario : again, no rain ! hbg
We're having a shower!!!!! It won't amount to much but the raindance gods are responding by sending us a bit of Dennis.
Meanwhile, J-B, here in Central Virginia, we just had a kick-ass thunderstorm. We are getting thunderstorms a lot, usually coming over the ridge from the west. Can't really see them until they are upon us.
This sucker came out of the northeast. Banged us good.
Now we had two nice sunny and warm days in a row! Of course, the weekend is not supposed to be that nice - some rain and cooler...
But I am willing it to be a great summer weekend. We are celebrating our towns 750th anniversary!

went to a live show yesterday afternoon in a local theatre(partially air-conditioned)' the actors (only 2) were sweating like ... the sweat was just running down their faces, and it was not a physically active show.
the show btw was "trying" by joanna mcclelland glass; it's an autobiographical story about a young canadian woman from the prairies (saskatchewan) who in 1967 became personal secretary to judge francis biddle, former attorney-general under roosevelt and a judge at the nuremberg trial.
a very personal show and superb acting.
go and see it if it comes to your neighbourhood live theatre (original performance at the victory garden theatre in chicago in march 2004). hbg
I think of Europe as being relatively compact, so floods and droughts existing together seems strange. I play on-linne Scrabble and have a friend in Spain. She (?) has been telling me about the fires there.
Meanwhile, I heard a story on the news this afternoon about a huge dust storm that is projected to hit Florida next week. No details were provided, other than that the dust was whipped up in the Sahara. I had never heard of that phenomenon before.
Hey Misti! Not bad here tonight in North Texas- winds are light and temp in the 70's. No precip.
Love ya,
Been topping out in the low hundreds, and dropping into the 60s at night, with low humidity.

Yes, Jose, where have you been? We've missed you ........... don't be stayin' away that long again, okay?
Hey Roger, your weather is absolutely perfect ... I can only imagine!

Yes, I've been on vacation... Nice if you can get it!
Hey, Misti. It's really nice here. <smile>
Jose, great to see you back. Don't be such a stranger.
Jose, that was a loooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg vacation! Now that you're back home we expect to see your smiling face here often!
Beautiful day today, but hot ........ it's so nice when you're on vacation, you can go laze by the pool any old time, which I did at 11:00 a.m. The pool was just perfect since it rained yesterday and cooled it down just right.
