July weather news @ 2023

[Little Blue]

...Still sending Prayers for those in the 'Flood Zones'. .............

Here in Indiana my local area weather has turned out great. Sunday's afternoon rain showers were the best of the month of July. I received .3" of Rain yesterday. The cracks in the yard are going away. So I will have to cut some grass this week. Oh well, I had 3 weeks off on my yard work.
Time to get out there and enjoy some grass cutting.

Today's numbers are 81°F with some clouds and maybe rain showers coming in the afternoon.
Low at 58°F.
Currently we have overcast 'Canada Smoke' sky and 67°F.

I have found that a cooling vest works well for the length of time of your ride. Not expensive and keeps your core body temperature down. Something you may want to look into. Good luck..... Jim

Jim, any suggestions?

Jim, any suggestions?

The one I have is a Chill-its 6665 wet evaporative vest from Ergodyne Tenacious Work Gear. It's a vest that you soak in water. I wear it over a thin t-shirt. It will provide good cooling for a couple of hours when riding. Then it can be "recharged" at a gas station sink and is good for another couple of hours. When on tour, I kept mine in an oversized plastic bag, fully soaked and ready to put on as needed. The vests run very large in size. I come in at 6' and 260 lbs. Started with a XXL and it was too big. Went to an XL and it is just right! Good luck..... Jim

Today here in Vt. in my area, it is sunny and Not raining.

The temp is 79 degrees. Feels like 83 degrees Wind 8 mph SW 0 precipitation, 58 % Humidity, 3 UV-Moderate, 9 miles Visibility, 66 dew point, 29 pressure.

They have a Air Quality Alert that was issued on July 17th, @ 3:22 pmEDT until Tuesday 7/18/2023 The air quality is expected to approach or exceed the Code Orange or Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups catergory due to fire particles from the wildfire smoke.

Also, they have Flood Watch issued July 17th @ 3:02 pm EDT Flood watch in effect from Tuesday afternoon through Late Tuesday night......... Portions of northern New York, including the following counties, Clinton, and Essex also for central and northern Vermont.

When..... From Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night.

Impacts.... Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying and flood prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.

Additional Details......

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected Tuesday afternoon and evening, due to saturated soils and the potential for 1 inch per hour rainfall, there will likely be renewed threat for flash flooding in the any stronger storms.

...Well folks the long awaited rain showers are here. Yesterday we received about, .4" at my house. Today is going to be a sunny day and no rain in the forecast. I will try and cut the grass today.

Still Praying for Safety for flood areas. Several more States are having some issues. Stay away from the moving water.

Today we will have some sunshine mixed in with clouds. High of 81°F. Low of 63°F.

Stay Safe and Enjoy your Day.

Same ol' weather here in the desert S.W......HOT!!! I think today will be the 20th consecutive day of temperatures above 110. Last evening we had a dust storm move through. It lasted about an hour. The air turned a light brown with gusty winds. By 8PM it was all over. Today is sunny with some high thin clouds. The high will be about 117. Stay safe..... Jim


Edit for correction.

I just got the correct info. Today will be our 19th, not 20th consecutive day above 110. That sets a new record for us. Also we have had 8 consecutive nights when the "low" has been above 90 degrees. That also is a new record. I had a couple of errands to do today and used my golf cart. Even 10-15 minutes in this heat wakes-up the sweat glands.....

This Summer has been a very challenging experience with the rain and heat. Thankfully it has been doable for the most part. We are suppose to get some late afternoon rain showers here in Indiana. Currently cloudy and some smoke and 62°F.

High today of 85°F with sunshine and some clouds. Maybe get some rain tonight.
Low of 68°F.

Stay Safe and Enjoy your Ryde Times. ....

Nice rain this morning to keep the grass green and growing. Temps should be in the mid to upper 80's. Looks like it's going to be a nice one.

[Deanna777]

Today here in Vermont it was sunny and we didn't get any rain!!!!
The current temp is 76 mostly clear.

The temps today were in the 80's. Sunny.

We had an other round of flooding & Thunderstorms on Tuesday, we are finally looking at a couple of dry days today and on Thursday. We can't make it to 3 nice days though. On Friday, we have another frontal system will move through with yet an other round of showers and thunderstorms, which could, again, lead to flooding problems.
There may be a few, lingering showers into Saturday, otherwise for a change, the weekend is actually looking pretty decent. And it will stay dry into Monday.

Then the active weather pattern will continue with an other front coming through on Tuesday with more showers & thunderstorms.

Will some one do a sunshine dry day dance for us here in Vermont!!!!!

(off topic.. There is one town in Vermont that has no water, no portable water. They have NO water. They haven't had any water since 8:00 pm last Monday night, which was the day of the storm. They go thru @ least 2 1/2 pallets of bottled water a day + about six to 800 gallons of well water every single day. A store in that town doling out the free water brought to them by local volunteer's and the Vermont National Guard. The village has been stuck in that situation due to damage sustained to the road that leads to the water system. Hopefully the town will have water by tomorrow afternoon. An other issue is that the sewer line up there is completely warped. That will have to be rebuilt and service connections are going to have to be reestablished. Us Vermonters are not out of the woods yet!!!!!!).

We have been in the "extreme heat warning" area. We have seen 99 degrees, but so far, it has not cracked the 100 mark. Today it's cool. Only 85 degrees.

Tomorrow, a reprieve is on the way. Supposed to be 75ish.

July is almost over and I am glad. I don't like cold weather at all, but I am getting tired of the hot, sticky weather right now.

...Welcome to another Indiana weekend weather news. Yesterday's weather was just wonderful and I was able to enjoy Spyder Ryde Time. It has been crazy for Indiana. The temperatures and the humidity are miserable. I guess that's the way it is for some of us now.

Currently we have clear skies and 60°F.
Today's high is only 80°F with some clouds.
Low of 59°F. No rain.

Sunday's high is 82°F with clouds.
Low at 62°F. No rain.

Enjoy your time and look forward to some nicer weather.

Ongoing excessive heat warnings continue here in the desert S.W. Afternoon temperatures will be 110-114 for the next few days (at least). There are a few high clouds filtering some of the sun but not enough to cool. At 11 AM it was 104. Humidity is 14% and there is a 5 MPH breeze. Last evening I could see some lightning in the far distance so there was some monsoon in parts of Arizona. But, nothing made it to the valley. All that good cool weather and rain stayed up in the mountains. Stay safe..... Jim

[Deanna777]

Current temp in Vt. is 69 degrees and cloudy.

Tonight, there we will have some dense fog; otherwise, it will become mainly clear and be good sleeping conditions. Lows will be in the 50's and even a few upper 40's are possible in the cooler valleys. Sunday will be a great day. with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low to mid 80's. An isolated afternoon thunderstorm can't be ruled out but that's about it.

Next week isn't looking as active as the past 2 weeks thankfully. That said, the chance for some showers and thunderstorms will continue. Monday will be partly sunny, with a few showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80's with lows in the 60's. The most active day of the week is Tuesday, with scattered showers and thunderstorms. It doesn't look like a significant event, but they will keep an eye on it.

Very warm and moderately humid conditions will rule for the rest of the week and into next weekend. Skies will generally be partly sunny. A few showers and thunderstorms are expected Wednesday and again on Friday. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80's (possibly a few low 90's Thursday) with lows in the 60's. Saturday is looking cooler and pleasant.

...Welcome back from the weekend, currently we have 64°F. Oh man that was just a wonderful weekend, the temperatures were nice. Also the humidity was low for this time of year.

TV news is saying that flood waters are going well and now the big clean-up is underway. I hope everyone can start to get back to normal.

Today 86°F with some clouds. Maybe get some rain showers this afternoon. Time will tell on the rain. We definitely need some more rain.
Low of 64°F.

Enjoy your Day and be Patient. ....

Nothing new to report from the desert. It's still hot and no rain .

canmajhb,

I'll send you 4 truck loads of rain from Vermont

Deanna

[Little Blue]

...I never received my second truck load of rain. Must have been hijacked somewhere in transit. .......
So needless to say I am still short on rain.
Currently clear sky and 64°F.

Today's numbers are 90°F with lots of sunshine.
Low of 70°F, no rain in the forecast.

The tomato plants are looking good for now. I think the tomatoes are on vacation or something. I am still waiting for the first one.

Stay Healthy and Ryde Safe. ....

Deanna, Thanks for the rain offering! We need it!!! Currently it's 102 and heading for a high of 118 today and 119 tomorrow. Humidity is 14%. There are no clouds and the wind is calm. We are now closing in on a full month of 110+ temperatures. It's been several months since we've seen any rain. However, the forecast now shows a bit of cooling and rain chance by this weekend and into next week. I'll believe it when I see it.

Our community pool keeps the aerators on 24/7 in order to maintain a reasonable water temperature. Otherwise, the water would be too warm to be refreshing for us hot old seniors. Bobbing in the pool is about the only outside activity that can be tolerated in this heat. Even walking across a parking lot can be an adventure if wearing thin rubber soled shoes. Some people are reporting shoe melt down! Stay safe..... Jim

After posting this, I read a news article about hospital burn centers being overloaded by people getting burned when falling down. Something I hadn't given any thought to. They said the pavement can get to 180+ degrees and even quick contact can be serious. Several people have died from burns acquired by just falling down. This heat is dangerous.....

[Little Blue]

...This morning I'm up and listening to the rain showers. Got an hour of rain. Currently 72°F.
Not sure how much I will receive.

Stay Healthy. ....
