@rebelann Yes, it seems that there are no countries spared. I also wonder what August will bring.

This year is surely more humid than usual. We had a lot of rain during the night. It was very pleasant to hear the thunder, a cool air came inside from the opened windows.

Heavy showers - wow - oh I love a very gray day - that's when I feel most productive! Well, our July has been hot but tolerable. We had some earlier days of triple digit degrees, but the heat has tamed down to steady 90s - and according to the forecasts that is how it will seem to be for the next week.

@LadyDuck We always anticipate hot summers period out here. Still it has not gotten as hot as it can get - and I'm afraid that will be coming in August/September (that's the usual pattern anyway). I hope the nice temps stay for you too!

@much2say I am glad with this cooler temperature, I do not like too hot weather. August and September are bearable, the days are so much shorter, at 8 PM is dark in August, while now it is still clear at 9:30.

We also started with some too hot days, I was scared at the idea of a very hot July. Now it's a nice temperature, I hope it will last.

This is supposed to be our rainy season but no rain yet! A few clouds but they are white. I love the look of a dark grey sky in daytime and how green trees look against it, so beautiful! I never see that here, just the grey skies, not a lot of trees here in the desert. I miss the storms back in the Midwest which are as you describe, with winds picking up before the rain and then the thunder and lightening. You are very blessed to have stormy weather and beautiful green trees and grass. Enjoy your beautiful rainy day!

I love the color of the trees against a dark sky. Here we still have a few rays of sun, now it's all cloudy. I like the stormy rain, it does not last long, but it cools down the temperature. The color of the fields under a storm in the Midwest must be beautiful.

It is rainy season here in the Philippines, though the weather is highly unpredictable. Mornings could be warm and sunny while afternoons could bring thunderstorms. I love rainy weather though, as the cooler breeze relaxes. Do you also get occasional whirlwinds? Here in our place it is rare, but we are unlucky enough to see a waterspout in the lake after a heavy thunderstorm.

Usually July is a dry month, but this year we already had several days with heavy rain. We can get strong wind from the Alps, but not whirlwinds.
