It's been terribly hot with the summer heat surging unusually in the first week of June. Sonit was a welcome change when we had a heavy shower for about half hour. It was couple with a spell of hail!! The flowers definitely loved the rain - they looked brighter and fresher with the raindrops sprinkled on them. Now the rain has stopped and the evening will start getting hot again!!

Love those red blooms. I hope the rain cooled things off for you. Nice here for now. But the heat will arrive soon.

The flowers are lovely.

It started storming here during the night and is supposed to keep raining off and on for the next three days. We do need the rain so I hope the forecast is correct.

If love to have rain like that in summer. We have very few spurts of short rainfall .

@pitstop We get unexpected sprinkles all the time here. The sky can be completely clear of clouds and rain can still fall. (My dad always said when it rains from a clear sky, we'll have thunderstorms the next day. Sometimes that actually happens.)

We had a good shower a couple of nights ago and that saved us from watering the garden

@pitstop We have a biggish garden and when it rains it is such a saving of time as we do not have to water.

This heavy rainfall caused a bit of flooding but it was brief.

I'm not sure, but there were a few trees blown down by the winds.

@pitstop It is sad when the wind blows down the trees, I hope not too many damages.

I guess we’ll have to appreciate the rain wherever we get it, and for as long as it lasts.

This blossom is very beautiful. Some flowers like rains and some don't. Some can even grow better in hot temperature.
