Rained Already Twice This Afternoon

It has already rained twice today and thundered too. And it has done nothing to get rid of the humidity. It is getting old! I can't believe that we wait for a whole year to get some decent weather and we end up with such misery all the time. So far, I think that we did not even get 7 decent summer days around here. I am hoping that next week will be more clement.

We could use some of that rain out here.

@JohnRoberts, If only I had that power to send rain to a distant area, I would gladly do it.

Yup this summer hasn't been ideal. I'm hoping we get some decent weather before Fall arrives

I'm sorry for the weather you are having. I wish it would rain here. It's so hot outside, it's breath taking.

It has been a very rainy summer here as well, usually at this time in August the grass is all dry and yellow not lush and green!!

Good for you that you are only talking about days of hot summer days. In my country we would endure 2 months of very hot and dry and at times humid days. No strong rains would ever visit us to cool us down. After that 2 months then we are into rainy days that means very wet season that we have to endure floods and very soggy days.

@marlina we’re thinking of it from time to time but of course the cost of moving from one country to another is a big consideration. My son is about to finish his high school too. We wouldn’t want to disrupt his school too. I’ve been to NY and loved the climate in springtime it’s very constant and seldom does the weather change drastically.

@rsa101, I guess I should not complain but I am spoiled. Have you ever considered moving to a more "temperate" country like Canada for example? We have 3 neighbors who are from the Philippines.

Except the 5 too hot days I cannot complain. The month of August has been sunny and breezy. We had some thunderstorms, but during the night.

Funny that you say that about the weather. I was just thinking aloud how much it has rained or threatened to thunderstorm this summer. Even the plants have had enough
