There are only two things that get me out of the pool....

July 23, 2017 11:40am CST
One would be food - if I'm getting hungry then I'm usually willing to get out. The second thing - which is really the fist - would be THUNDER. And right now I'm inside because of that. We were in the pool early to hopefully avoid the afternoon heat and it was fun for an hour - then I heard the first crack of thunder and said 'bye'.....within 10 minutes of getting out the rain started and I said 'thank you'...we need it badly. At first a nice gentle rain, and then the heavens opened up. I did have a bad connection for a while, but it's fine now even though it is still raining. We have not had rain in over a week and this rain is very welcomed. What's the weather in your neck of the woods? Photo is mine.

I love rain. I also love a nice pool. Right now it is colder. We will have our first freeze soon. I am not looking forward to it.

It's in the upper 90s here right now, a freeze almost sounds good .... not that I like to freeze though.

I think pool is finished for today - now it's just cloudy and I'm not sure if more rain is coming. Enjoy your swim!

Thunder and lightening would definitely get me out of the pool in a hurry. We have cloudy skies and it looks like rain but so far nothing

We really need the rain. Grass is starting crunch when you walk on it.

Today it is cloudy and raining. It's a gentle rain and is getting our plants and grass deeply watered. Plus, it has made it a little cooler around here. It's in the 80's 9instead of the 90's.

All the rain has done is make it more muggy. It is 92 and raining.

I would get out for thunder as well. I would probably keep a snack near the pool for the hunger part. It is sunny here but seems cool this morning.

I have a fear of t-storms, so I can hear thunder when it's a long way off.

The rain will do a lot of good. You can always go back to the pool later on.

@AbbyGreenhill People who play golf have been struck on the golf course, holding their golf umbrella! You cannot believe how silly people are to do that.

Since most weather patterns go west to east and you are east of us....that makes sense.

It's very warm in Michigan, too! But, what do you do to avoid those harmful sun rays? I get pre-cancers, so staying indoors is what works best for this issue. (I remember you from Bubblews!)

I guess I dont worry about them. If I had to stay indoors I'd go crazy.

It is winter here in Jerusalem and yesterday it rained hard. This is the only time we get rain and need lots of it. We do not always get the rain we need.

I think we are on day 16 of temperature in the 90s. The rain helped lower it today.
