Hoping for a Little Rain!

We haven't had a good rain for over a week and a half here now. We were getting a little shower or thunderstorm daily or every other day and that was perfect for the garden. With temperatures all in high 90s and with heat index feeling like 107 and higher, adding another chore to the list is taxing on the body! At 12:30 it was 96F with a heat index of 109. We do have some rain in the forecast this afternoon, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Are you in a dry spell as far as rain goes in your area also? Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

We seem to be, but I think we can thank Ernesto for that. There's a chance, but I see nothing but blue skies.

We have missed it for the last couple of days here. My garden needs a good drenching!

I hope you get a good rain to cool off those intense temperatures. I wouldn't feel like doing anything in that kind of heat. Yes, we were. It's raining.

Right! It makes hibernating indoors very inviting!

My daughter got a good soaking in Lafayette, LA last evening. Too bad it didn't hit you in LC too!

@kareng I did see the reports on the local news about Lafayette getting some rain while my area was dry.

It's supposed to rain a lot here this weekend. We had torrential downpours with the storms that came through last week. I hope you get some rain. Have a good day.

The last several days, we have had a lot of rain. Off and on thunder and rain but no damages, however mud is everywhere. My nice, clean car is all muddy and I just washed it the other day. Oh well, that’s life!

My van needs washing so bad! It's all dusty since we haven't had any rain in a good week other than a little drizzle one day!

@kareng I was going to wash mine today, but there's no point. We've had two rain showers and probably will have one more. Maybe tomorrow.

We had some rain Sunday night, a good, hard soaking. But it’s 100 degrees today, and we could really use some precipitation. It’s going to be in the 100s until mid week next week. Hopefully, we can both get a little cooling down via rain.

We have a slight chance for rain overnight tonight, but I don't look for anything to happen. We will see!

With the heat here we certainly could use some rainy days, I see the leaves of palm tree withering and falling off all over the place,

Yep, the heat here is taking out all the plant like here, as well.

@kareng The forecast this evening was for a week of rain - which really means showers rather than constant rain.

For the past few weeks there has been a prolonged drought, but now it rains almost every night, I'm so happy that the air is cool again
