Just 103*F in Tucson today. Two evenings ago a massive dust storm followed by the first of what they call "monsoon rain". It was a nice soaking, and the roof runoff filled about two feet of the retention tank behind the house.
Not bad after the weather we've had lately. Kinda feels like a really early fall day, where it's obnoxious out, but you can almost smell fall in the air. Did some stuff outside. Built a door for my basement, and made a window well cover out of locust. I also started hammering some bends out of rebar, but the wasps that were in my jeep door last year apparently came back this year, and they *really* didn't appreciate the noise. I'll get that some other time.
Wednesday ended an over-raining episode, and was coldish. Saturday was just fine, Sunday turned hot, and today was a gas-boiling-in-the-chainsaw day.
It's hard to stay tunned this year.
After a ZOMG HOT! start to summer, it's been mellowing out a bit. This is what I'd consider a "normal", not overly hot end of July day, and it's gonna be cooling down a bit over the coming days, being around 80° over the weekend, which I'd consider exceptionally cool. Weird weather this year. Tending dry also, but historically, that can be pretty variable.
Well first light. It looks like everything is still standing. I haven't seen any damage so far but it was windy and tornado sirens were going off, slept in the basement.
been a mild and comfortable summer so far. other than the 3 hundred year rain events that have destroyed basements and flooded the roadways, pretty chill.
The predicted 70 mph wind was 5
The predicted two inches of rain was a little drizzle for a few minutes
Weather folks here have a pretty much perfect score for getting it wrong this season...
