Your Weather News @ July 2026 Edition

Yesterday's sunshine was great. Warm but Not too Hot! I took the time to cut the grass. The weeds were just too much. I cut the yard a half inch higher/longer because of the lack of rain.

Now we are being told there will be no rain here 'til Sunday. Just got to love it. Currently cloudy sky at 58°F. I now have small cracks in my yard due to the lack of rain.

Today's high at 77°F with sunshine.
Low of 57°F and cloudy.
Everything is going good here for me.

We're back to normal weather here in Western Washington. The heat advisory is gone. Here in Anacortes, it is partly sunny, 66 degrees, breezy with 10 MPH wind with gusts to 16, and humidity at 78%. The high today will be 73 degrees. We had some showers move through last night around midnight. Nothing real heavy, but enough to remind us that this is the Pacific-North-Wet! No rain expected today, just a few clouds and a cooling sea breeze. Stay safe..... Jim
 
Finally Friday and currently partly cloudy sky at 61°F.
The weather here has been great the pasted two days.
High in the mid 70s. I have been able to enjoy some Spyder
Ryde Times. I hope you did too.

I am hearing from the TV News People that some of the fires
are starting to slowly begin to slow down. Yes, the smoke is
still a problem. Still no rain here.

High today of 77°F and some clouds.
Low at 59°F with clouds.
Have yourself a great day and stay Healthy.

Oh my goodness, I forgot to post up about Indiana weekend Weather.
First off, I had a little problem with my riding mower. It just did not want
to start. After fussing with the mower, the Wife said, "did you check the
gas?" Well no! But I usually don't let it get to empty. Long story short.
The neighbors little boy was playing on the mower and somehow
turned off the fuel valve. No harm, no foul, but just not what I needed.

Yes, I turned on the fuel valve and the mower started right away. No more
letting children playing with the mower. The wife said she was very sorry.
I never really thought that it was her fault. She was talking to the neighbor
and the little boy was playing on the mower. The end.

Saturday high was 79°F with some clouds.
Low was 69°and overcast sky.

Sunday high at 84° and cloudy sky.
Low of 72°F with some clouds.

Enjoy your Day and be Happy 😊

All is good here. (y)
 
Anacortes, WA...... 65 degrees, cloudy, light rain on and off all morning, breeze 5-10 MPH, humidity at 78%. A little later this afternoon the rain is expected to increase and last until morning. A good day to stay inside and have nothing on my agenda. Tomorrow the sunshine is forecast to return. Then Tuesday another cool, wet system will roll through before the bright sun reappears on Wednesday. Stay safe..... Jim
 
Well, @canamjhb, sometimes living the 'Life of Riley' isn't all that much fun.
Enjoy your Time in WA. Stay Healthy and Be Happy 😊

Sunday was great. Currently clear sky at 70°F. A 25% chance of getting some
rain showers late afternoon. The humidity makes it feel hot and sticky.
We need some good rain showers here.

Today's high should be about 86°F with some sunshine.
Low around 72°F with some clouds.
Enjoy your Spyder Ryde Times and be careful about the cagers.
Cellphones and Cagers seem to not pay any attention to Bikes.
Just the way to world turns these days.

Well my friend, I hope you can enjoy your Day.

We're under an Extreme Heat Warning for today along with a Dense Fog Advisory, such a great combo right?

All of our windows are so fogged up at the moment that I can't even see the yard!

I woke at 6am and the heat index is already at 87!

Lovely
 
The rain stopped last evening here in Anacortes. This morning it is partly sunny (and partly cloudy) with a slight (5%) chance of measurable rain today. The high will be a comfortable 73 degrees. Currently the humidity is at 93% and will continue to fall throughout the day. Everything around here stays pretty soggy after a day of rain. Things just don't quickly dry like they do in the desert. Stay safe..... Jim
 
Well, I am happy to report that we got rain!
It arrived late yesterday afternoon.
Maybe receive about a half inch of slow water during the 3 hours of rain fall. Anyway we needed it in Indiana.

Currently cloudy sky at 75°F and some fog. Flash flood warnings are posted in some counties. No problem for me.

High today at 83°F with humidity at 96%.
Not very friendly for me.
Low of 59°F with clouds and some sunshine.

Not sure if I will try some Spyder Ryde Time today. Stay in the Game and play Fair. Those Cagers are always out .

At around 2pm yesterday my weather station reported a heat index record of 116°F. It felt like every bit of that too. Walking from the shade into the sunshine felt like walking into an oven.

Today is like a different world. 71°F at the moment, it's still VERY humid at 91%, but the high temp is forecast to be 81°F. Might even shut the AC off after the humidity clears.
 
Just checked the weather back home in the Arid-Zone-A desert and glad to not be there. There is an excessive heat warning with temperatures of 110-118 degrees and nighttime lows of 90-92 degrees!!! :eek: Meanwhile, here in the NW corner of the country, we're experiencing small craft advisories for the surrounding waters. That means sustained winds of 23-38 MPH with higher gusts possible. The winds are expected to subside this afternoon as the front passes through. Currently it's partly sunny/cloudy, 65 degrees, and humidity at 76%. The high today will be 68 and overnight low will be 53 degrees. At times I have a fleeting thought and miss my home back in the desert. Then I see how hot it is and come to my senses. :rolleyes: Stay safe..... Jim
 
Wednesday morning here in Indiana. Currently cloudy sky at 62°F with some humidity. Maybe get some Spyder Ryde Time today.

Today's high of 82°F with some sunshine. Chance of rain @ 25%.
Low at 57°F. Yes, that's what TV News
is Talking about. You know that they are always correct.

Have a Blessed Day and Stay Healthy.

Tomorrow they say close to 100°F. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be 102°F, 104°F, and 102°F.

At this rate I'll be in a retirement home before I get my BajaRon Ultra Sway Bar fitted.

I'm getting too old for triple digit garage maintenance.

I'm going to have to break down and get the dealer to fit it.

I'm going to have to break down and get the dealer to fit it.

😖 I dunno... If your local dealer is anything like ours, then after recently doing a roadside 'fix' of the local dealer's shoddy job on another Spyder Ryder's 'brand new Spyder' that the dealer very grudgingly fitted with an Ultra bar, I reckon I'd be sacrificing some sleep and doing a late night/early morning job to avoid the heat of the daytt before risking that! :eek:

It wasn't all that difficult to fix per se, but it was muddy, cold, and wet lying in the ditch (half full of running water!) that the Spyder was straddling in order to give me enough room to reach underneath it - well, at least it wasn't too difficult after I'd gone to get a suitable selection of nuts & bolts to replace those that'd been lost, but I would've thought that it's gotta take real talent (NOT! 😖) to stuff up removing an OEM bar and replacing it with one of those Ultra bars, only their 'fully trained' tech managed to 'forget' to tighten just about EVERY bloody nut on the thing, and nobody checked his work... not even the apprentice! (No, it wasn't the apprentice who did it in the first place, it was supposedly the fully trained tech - or maybe he got the cleaner to do it instead?? I'm pretty sure it couldn't have been their receptionist, she clearly knows where the nuts are meant to go and how to tighten them properly! :sneaky:)

Is your local dealer good, have competent techs, and will they even consider replacing OEM kit with A/mkt gear?? :unsure:

Ps: Weather wise, of late here where I am, we've been either cold and bleedin' wet, or bleedin' cold & bloody windy (btw, those are recognised meteorological terms - much colder than 'bitterly'! 😖) despite the clear skies! We've had a LOT of really heavy frosts, and a seemingly endless stream of Polar Low's rolling up from the Antarctic!! Even our Tropical North has been seeing low single digit temps overnight; but here, we've been pushing a few below 0°C most nights, and barely getting much higher during the days! For now & the foreseeable future, I'm not doing any early morning rides, and if the sun doesn't make an appearance today, neither will I! 🥶

Fortunately the local dealer that I bought this one from, and who serviced my prior one, has so far proven to be very competent. It’s about 7 km from my house.

Since I retired early I was a substitute teacher every day for 11 years and one of the service bay folks I’ve taught on and off over the years. He wouldn’t dare to do badly by me. He’s a smart lad.

I know it’s winter down under, so you’ve just had Christmas, but it should start to get warmer soon, ready for bunny breeding season.

Here, the next four days are 38°C, 39°C, 40°C and 39°C, all with single digit humidity. Dry lightning predicted to set fire to everything not already burning.

Last few times I’ve been to Oz was Darwin, Cairns, and Brisbane in down under season. It was hot and humid despite being on the coast. I didn’t see any bunnies but lots of cane toads.
