Rain would be welcome here in Utah,though Southern Utah should get some. It is the start of our monsoon season. Right now highs in the 100's for the next few days

Happy August from Valley Springs AR: Starting the day off with a bit of cloudy and cooler (low 80's). Intermittent rain the last three days or so. Grass is getting green again. Plenty of time for rides in between.

Yes, the year is going by quite fast, in spite of many things.

Still hoping for some monsoon relief here in the Phoenix area. We had about 1/2 inch of rain 2 weeks ago but that all happened in about 45 minutes and didn't provide much heat relief. July was the hottest month on record EVER for Phoenix. The average temperature (day high plus night low) was 99.0 F. There were 16 days when the low never got below 90. August is starting out as a clone of July. No monsoon in sight. Forecast highs of 110 to 115 and lows near 90. Driving my golf cart to the pool is like having a hot hair blower in my face. The 3 wheeler is getting awfully lonely..... Jim

And here Down Under in the Adelaide Hills, our day-time temps are struggling to make it into double digits... altho we are getting a few fine days in between all the fogs & clouds & frosts!! And according to the BoM, we just had our DRIEST July since 1924!! They're telling us we got just 17mm of rain for the whole month, and the various Authorities are already warning us to prepare for 'another' year of drought and a far worse bushfire season!! Dunno how THAT can get much worse than the one just past!!

But on a brighter note, I've been able to ryde most days, albeit starting later than usual (can't handle the cold as well as I'd like! ) and I haven't got wet in the last few days, nor have I hadta clean any melted bitumen off the RT - so things are lookin' pretty good!

Stay Healthy, and Ryde On!!

Today was a high of 88* with lots of sun. Thunderstorms scattered around but no rain for us.

[Little Blue]

Weather People are saying rain for the next couple of days. We need some more rain in Indiana. Monday's high will be only 75°F and 60% chance of Rain.
Enjoyed a Ryde Time with the wife yesterday. Sunday was a great day for us.
Have a wonderful day. ........

[Little Blue]

Got one inch of rain yesterday afternoon. It was a heavy rain for about 45 minutes and then the sun came out. Still need more. Oh, the tomatoes are doing well.
Today's high 75°F and cloudy.
Ryde Safe. ......

[Luvs2Ride]

After a long streak of hot/dry weather, we had rain last evening and woke up to rain this morning!!! It is really needed and appreciated!
Ride Safe,

High pressure off the coast of Southern Californis is delaying the Monsoon here so we are still HOT and dry. If you come be sure to hydrate well and be careful with dragging chains cigarette and campfires.

Upper 80's and low 90's for the beginning of Rally week here.

Valley Springs AR: a little respite from the heat. 70 this AM. Lows at night in the high 50's the last couple days. Windows open and AC off. Very nice.

Cool enough that I can get back to the mesh jacket again. Grass grew like it was on steroids. Great to see what a little rain can do.

The hot weather is on the way again for the weekend though.

[Little Blue]

This week has been cooler for the month of August. The 70s as a high were a welcomed change.
Today's high will be only 74°F.
Ryde and Enjoy your Day. .....

[ARtraveler]

Valley Springs AR: Temps started off in the 70's. We left about 11:00 AM and got back about 2:00 PM. Linda has been off her for the last three weeks due to a foot issue...her ride today was fine she said. Now temps in low 80's. A great ride for us. We climbed Mount Judea (pronounced Judy) and did the 10 mph twisties with some fantastic views of the valley below. Love the road, only saw four cars in the twenty miles or so of that stretch of road.

Welcome to the weekend, Indiana is starting to warm up. Today's high will be 77°F with sunshine. Saturday high of 84°F with some sun. Sunday's high 86°F.
Gotta love the morning rydes.
Enjoy your weekend and be Safe. ......

....... Gotta love the morning rydes. ......

Yeah, NO THANKS!! Not here anyway!!

It's bloody cold here this week - all of the brass monkeys are already neutered so they've left for warmer climes; but you could freeze the warts off a toad here atm by tossing 'em outside before about 11:00 am!! Our max temps are barely climbing into low single digits (°C) and so far this week, with no let-up in sight, if it's not actually raining thick & gelid half frozen rain drops, there's an inch thick frost on everything that doesn't thaw out for hours! We even had snow here, and it HARDLY EVER SNOWS in South Oz - in the Flinders Ranges (which means 'not very high but truly rocky & rugged hills that are nearly all desert' to the rest of the World! ) just a bit to the North of us (where it's usually warmer!) it snowed, leaving a couple of inches on the ground down to about 1200ft - first time it's snowed there since probably the early 1950's; and in Tasmania where it snows a couple of times every decade, they copped a couple of feet down almost to sea level!

So 'No Thanks' on the morning rides for me atm; they've been replaced with 'mid-afternoon rides' just so that the 'morning mist' (aka 'pea-soup fog! ) doesn't freeze on the RT's windscreen and any acidentally exposed bare skin doesn't instantly bond cryogenically onto the tupperware worse than a damp tongue sticks onto a freezing flag-pole! And the BoM is predicting that after this 'chilly spell', we might get some 'fiercely cold weather with damaging rain' over the next couple of weeks.....

It cooled a bit here in the desert. Highs of 108 and lows of 83 for the next few days. Next week it is forecast to warm up again with highs of 110+ and lows at night of 89+. I sat outside (with a cocktail, of course) last night at about 11:30 PM watching shooting stars. It was in the mid 80s and felt just perfect. Might have even gone for a spin around the neighborhood if it were not for the cocktail. The bike remains fully covered with a battery tender attached. I haven't seen it unclothed for over a month. Last monsoon season was nicknamed the NON-soon. We only had a couple good rains. This year is looking like it will be dryer. So far the official monsoon rain total for Phoenix is 1/10th of an inch this year. And, nothing in the forecast...... ..... ..... Jim

Morning temperature 72°F and rain. Today's high will be 87°F. with some more rain. Sunday we had 91°F day.
Enjoy your Monday and stay safe. ......

Looks like the heat will be back for the next 4 days. Back to the 90's with high humidity. I was kind of enjoying the "somewhat" cooler weather over the pas week.

[CopperSpyder]

Not bad so far this month, been a little cooler it seems so far. 1/3 down 2/3 to go, I hope the weather holds up, staying below 90 will be ok with me.

[ARtraveler]

We tried a ride earlier today. It was pushing 100. Since we were not having fun, came back home and maybe will get in an evening ride.

[Deanna777]

Currently we had a brief rain shower.

Tonight dew points are in the 70's.

Tomorrow temps in the 90's and muggy.

We can't catch a break. We just set a record of 34 days with temperatures in excess of 110 degrees in a calendar year. We'll smash that record. The next ten days are forecast for 110+. Praying the air conditioner holds up..... Jim

[mrgrtt123]

Gloomy weather the last couple of days, but I've check out the forecast and it seems like it's gonna rain at the weekend.
