It is too dry, and too hot here, especially in the South. I heard other places, like in Asia, there were flood, constant rain everyday. It was quite an opposite here in the U.S. south. My mom plant some vegetable on the backyard, and she has to water them 3 times a day, due to the scorching sun. I have to turn on the A/C every single day, because the heat just unbearable. All and all, that cost a lot of electricity too. I hope there will be more rain to cool it down.

a pleasant day kingparker,
in our end here is almost the opposite of what you are experiencing there. as we are having too much of rain as a result, areas are flooded and clogged. as we are having the rain for almost 3 weeks now and for the last few days, the rain doesn't stopped at all. well, i guess in this times, we should just pray. hence, prayer is only the answer to our queries. in your situation, there is too much of heat, and ours here is too much of rain.

Here in the Philippines, we got too much rain and there are floods in many parts of the country. The village where we lived was flooded too. Many of our appliances have been damaged. We moved to a different city to escape from the flood. Now, we have to start again a new life.

I wish I could send some of the rains that poured in my place going there. But of course I could not do that.
My place was inundated and in some places their houses were underwater for several days already. We know have a full blown crisis in trying to accomodate the thousands who left their submerged homes in many shelters right now.
If only we could send away this excess water in our place then things would have been a bit better.
So far weather has turned okay already. I hope we can have some sun in the coming days as we need to put this raging rivers back to their normal levels again and we could live back in our homes once again.

Hi, I think we both are living in the opposite extremes when it comes to the weather condition. As it is too dry in your place, here in my country its pouring rains day and night. Its so heavy that the accumulated rain in two days is the amount of rain that should be poured within a month here. I know that its the monsoon season now here in our country but the amount of rain is not ordinary.

Some places are too dry, people living in these areas affected by drought. While some places are rainy, people living in these areas affected by flood. If only each place gets just enough.

If only you have witnessed the flooding situation here in the Philippines you would wish not to rain anymore. Thousands of lives here are left homeless, injured, or bereaved. If mother nature will continuously gets angry, thousands of lives will be flushed away.

We're finally getting some relief here on the temps and it's been raining since yesterday. That's very odd compared to how things have been going thus far this summer. Today is the first day I've totally had the a/c off. Sadly the bill his huge as you said it runs nearly non-stop.
I thought the same as you when I saw Asia getting flooded... send it here! Our garden is in miserable shape, we have some tomatoes still alive BUT I don't know if any fruit will ever turn red at this point. :(

Yes, here in our country, its been a week of raining. Although it is not continous but we seldom see the sun. The rain will stop for a while then heavy pour resumes for hours. As seen in some media, floods is one of the common situations here especially in the low lying areas.
I hope that in your country will start to rain.

We don't need the rains right now, all we need here is just one in my state and country, because there are construction work going on. Although, there is myth that when such contruction works are going on the rain seizes to fall, some say it happens because sume rituals have being done, who knows and who cares.
It has being raining so much this year and it started so early around April, it was light then but from May till early July, it was massive, right up to this moment it has not rained but have drizzled some time but it is so cloudy and breezy, most people are now coming down with fever and flu.

While it's too hot in your place, we are eperiencing non stop rain in our country. Metro Manila and other neighboring provinces are flooded that the government has already implemented a state of calamity on the affected places.

In Manila area they have had 5 days of constant rain, water running down the street like the Mississippi River, washing away homes businesses and people. Water is up to the roof tops in some area. The U. S. Embassy had to close because of water in the streets.
Iam sure they would give you some water if you came and got it.
