It usually rains every day starting in September and now it is October and there is no rain. It is not raining like it usually does. This is the first year that I have had to keep watering my plants. No rain there is going to be a shortage of water if it does not rain.
I have pulled all the radishes and carrots. So that is the last of the food for the year.
It is 72F here really nice.

@jstory07 It seems like a nice small community--our relatives have about 45 acres there--and when we get up there for a visit, it is always so peaceful--

No rain is nice,but rain is needed. I get what you mean. I like La Nina, she brought good rain and kept it coming. El Nino brought lots of rain the first year, then drought for next 5 or so. Why it peaked my ears when they said we were in La Nina, now El Nino.
I do not not like El Nino.

We are having more rain that usual but, apart from a disastrous rain with wind, it is wonderful after several years of drought.

I think I know some people (myself included) who wish the rain could've gone anywhere but over us. We didn't have our typical summer and we had several days with boiling heat. We're finally getting cool nights, but it took a hurricane to get it.

I was shocked that we had a little rain the other day. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. The sun is out today.

That's good to know. Here, thankfully, we are having sunny days for a week now. Life is so difficult without the Sun

Too much rain makes me feel drowsy and sometimes under the weather.

We are getting rain right now. It will be around 50 with rain for the next few days. I hate this kind of weather. Have a good day.

@jstory07 I agree with you there. Going out today and will have to wear a jacket. I hate wearing jackets and coats.

It's crazy how some places flood while others risk a drought, all within the same country.
Hope you get rain soon. 72 F is nice indeed, guess that could be the silver lining.

@Dreamerby Wow! I didn't know India was also experiencing floods the last few days. Because the rainy season was supposed to have ended, but I guess climate is more complex than that.

We didn't have rain for a few weeks and then it rained almost every day for two weeks in Sept Be careful what you wish for. I do hope you get some though. Rain is needed.

I hope you get the rain you needed. We have not experienced rain for the past week. Which is not a typical October.

@jstory07 not really. Not like it does up north. We did have a big snowstorm in 1989, but none lately.

I hope it rains , even if it is late. The water levels needs to be there else, it could be a bit tough for summer time. We do not want water shortage becuase of no rain. There are many places and rgions across globe which is facing the same situation. Where I reside, it should be raining for next 2 months but nothing happened so far and well we already have challenges with shortage of water. Good to know you have good weather over there . You need to post the pictures of radishes and carrots. Hope it rains well. Enjoy your weekend!
