My raft on the pond was sunk after wind and rain smashed it up. The whole area is growing into a jungle. Trees have been brought down in the subdivision and there is some sort of a weather warning on my phone. Temps going from a cool but drizzly day today to 80's tomorrow. I thought climate change was going to cause droughts ! Haven't been able to harvest hay. I pick ticks off every day. Should I put weather reports under the rant thread?
We've been under a Drought Watch for the past few weeks. It's not hit "Warning" yet. 4th of July fireworks are at risk.
We had rain at home yesterday , in fact we had very close to 1.5 inches of rain ( according to our neighbours) the rainwater catchment area right near our home ,has not had any water in it …AT ALL ….this year …it’s been very dry …. The water / run off / catchment runs out to sea not far away …. According to the weather app ..it’s been battling to reach 10 c ~ 50f at home ……Day time temps … With it being minus 3 …in areas that get frost and about 2 c where we live …..overnight temps
Meanwhile in Queensland …..where we are …..for about another 3 weeks or so … It’s a beautiful 25c ….78F
Weather forecast just reversed. Yesterday it was predicted to be in the 70s F. and dry for the next week. Today the forecast is rainy and in the 60s F. for the next week. Amazing what a day can do to a forecast. We are under an outdoor burn ban now, so we could use some rain, but 60s temps won't do the garden much good except for the cabbage. It got up to 75 yesterday though.
Raining heavily today, and somewhere in the high 70s, although it feels cooler. Later, heavy thunder now too. I'd hide under the bed but it's too low and I'm too fat.
Thunderstorms are coming through (that rain some of you have experienced from the northeast down south.) It's not gonna take the edge off of the drought conditions.
