Your Weather (Page 7 of 12)

Hot Hot,Hot. Ihad too go get groceries at 8am this morning ,I do not want too go out later because of the heat.

Ours just expired. We had some wicked thunderstorms rolling through for the last couple hours. 40-50mph winds and horizontal rain.

Hot and now adding insult too injury we are getting humid weather coming in from a hurricane way south of us (like Mexico).

Hot here and staying for awile. Send Water!

I mowed my back lawn this morning and it was already 85. Now the city wants to hear Go brown and be proud of it!!. None of my friends and neighbors are doing it, we are all doing without a lot of water needs.  We allworked hard too get our yards in shape.

Amy please tell me!! and get everone to lean onthe west side of there areas so the water leakes to the west coast!! 100 now and for the next few days. Send Water!!

Dino, it's drought everywhere!  Oregon has 19 out of 39 Counties on water conservation limits (and has had for over 5 years now).  My cousins from the Eastern side of the mountain were over visiting last weekend and we heard all about what they have been putting up with.  Irrigation water allotments were cut in half several years ago, and they have been cut in half again just recently...... simple math makes that 25% of what was available 10 years ago!  They're Ranchers and have to maintain pasture and grow feed for the cattle, or go out of business.  Not a pretty prospect, and pumping from wells is not allowed.  Water is measured in acre-inches instead of acre-feet, so you don't "make hay while the sun shines" you do it when your canal is wet.

Just coming out of a week of sunny 90s, and although it's cooling into the 70s, no rain for awhile in the forecast. But fishin' was good the other day, cooked up a nice limit of trout for supper.

Well, the two weeks of spring were nice.  Generally we just get a Wednesday afternoon between 2 and 5 PM.  But it's summer now.

Finally got up to 38 C!  (that's pushin' the 100+ mark for all you domestics)  Humidity is hanging around 30% so it's a "dry heat" and with a breeze steady around 15Mph stepping outside is kinda like walking into a food dehydrator.

Managed to get a nice 12 hours of irrigating done last night and finally shut it down early this morning...... hope it'll last until next Friday.  On the bright side though a few years back I buried a whole mess of "leaky hose" and it does a good job of putting everything below ground where it tends not to evaporate when the sun comes up (and right where we put the plants that really need it).  Something to think about for you all trying to stretch your water ration.  I'm also a fan of that capillary drip stuff too, but had to pull it out of the ground because it started to get brittle from minerals or somesuch and got leaks everywhere except where I wanted it.

Also got the "chainsaw symphony" out here on the job at "zero dark thirty"  taking out a few trees that are mostly dead and cleaning up all the deadfall from this last winter's snow.  In the morning they'll be back to chip it all for mulch..... which takes care of my fire prevention measures.

Wishing everyone a safe and wildfire-free Summer!
Take Care;

I am melting!! 104 today and high 90's sat and sunday ,100 plus for a week after that,send water! June 26th 2015

Probably the same system that is forecast to dump 2"-3" of rain on us tomorrow. The streams are already running high so a Flash Flood Warning has already been issued. It's moving into the Pittsburgh area now so by early morning we'll be getting drenched.

Pretty much the same here Pete. I took the motor bike out this morning but even in just shorts and 'T' shirt it was uncomfortably hot. I will take the car this afternoon with the aircon going full blast.
