Nice thunder crackles near downtown so far at 8:30 in the morning. I was already at work typing away when it happened, but I'm guessing some folks got a startle!

Heck yes! I was up early watching the lightning. It was quite the show, but it's already starting to clear up. Looking like a high of 30C, so get ready for frizzy hair and high humidity!

My dogs were definitely not impressed! But yeah, looks like it'll be a hot and humid one

I absolutely LOVE that it's been raining all day!! We need this sooooo much

It was too short :(

Only got heavy rain for a few minutes yesterday - at least it's drizzling again right now!

It's great! I'm also glad the temps are down for a change today

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly, it's been so oppressively hot the last few days - 12 degrees feels like a godsend

I've been hiding in my apartment in the AC due to it. AC in the car is leaking currently, so even using that to get around is still brutal.

Hence why I'm working from home haha. I refuse to leave my A/C

There's an amazing sappy, wet-forest smell right now as things are heating up. I've missed that this year; in my spring hikes it's been too dry to get any olfactory satisfaction.

Everything lately has smelled like burnt asphalt so it's definitely a nice treat!

I'm sure the Forrest firefighters would prefer to get the moisture without the fireworks, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Likely, yeah. Some plain 'ole rain would be nice
