What's the weather like where you are?

Hot Wet off the presses ...

"Reading can now lay claim to this being their wettest summer on record, and that’s probably true for other hard hit parts of Schuylkill and Berks counties points south and west towards Harrisburg, Lebanon, and Lancaster."

We got another 2.5" of rain overnight. :rolleyes:
 
I feel like this guy ...

Except it's more humid here.
 
That doesn't sound awful, @olbriar add about 10° and 10% more humidity and that's what we've been calling Summer. And how fitting this year we close the month of August with a flood warning. We got about 2.5" more rain (they were calling for maybe 0.5") Some places in Lancaster county got almost 9".
 
It was in the low fifties this morning and never reached seventy. No wind... just beautiful. I might actually experience fall this year. The last few years it went from hot to cold over night.
 
The worst of it was to our north. We just has a gusty storm around bedtime. It did, however, give me an excuse to snap off a branch on a neighbors tree that hangs over the sidewalk and when it rains I have to duck to get under it. "Storm damage" ;)
 
Lunatic's Tree Grooming Service. Best results achieved at night under stormy conditions.

You have no idea. When this neighborhood was built some bureaucrat got the idea to make it mandatory that each lot must contain 2 trees in the front yard. (Brother-in-law probably owned the nursery) They planted these damn flowering pear trees much too close to the sidewalk. Sure, when they were saplings, there was no problem, but trees do have this annoying tendency to grow. In 15 years they've become quite intrusive ... and messy - white flowers in spring that look like a late snowfall, a bazillion small leaves in fall that are next to impossible to rake, and fruit! Not real pears, but little hard cherry like things that fall and rot and attract all kinds of critters.

And, the low branches now hang over the sidewalks which puts them around 5' off the ground. VERY inconvenient for someone who is 6' 1". :mad: They've even engulfed two of the streetlights making them almost useless in the summer when the trees are fully leafed out. So, if I am walking my dogs in the wee hours and a low branch knocks my hat off, don't be surprised if the sound after the profanity is snapping wood. :)
