(55,019 posts)a little early but coming up from the right direction and the whole picture the last few weeks has been good - very hot and dry, today we have humidity up and thunder heads all around. I can smell moisture. It has not rained for a couple of months and essentially since last September.

(8,492 posts)It's not 'official', yet. Apparently, we have to wait until some doofus weather person that's never seen rain before get stuck in a downpour before it's 'official'.

Well, let's hope it's a good one. I've been disappointed the past 5 years or so.

I'll make plans for a BBQ while I'm at it. If I remember, I'll leave all the windows open and then leave for the day. That's always a guarantee.

(10,103 posts)High today 23°C, will be 12°C overnight, not too hot the rest of the week. It's been a cool June, and I'm grateful. I hate the heat.

(2,572 posts)Storm clouds spread out on the horizon, palpable humidity, I can even SMELL the rain. They're coming.
And when they do, I'll tear off my clothes and go running around the back yard with loud cries of jubilation!

(3,163 posts)I used to sit on my balcony and watch storms march down off the Rincon Mountains, with lightening hitting the ground at the rate of about 20-30 bolts per minute. Beautiful.
