Finally, rain and relief from the heat

A couple of loud thunderblasts, minimal lightning, "buckets" of rain finally.
Still raining, heavy low cloud, can breathe much easier at 20 C.

Man, that 35 C (93F) was too much, too soon!

Look what the weather blew in!

Have never seen one of these.
Just need to know he won't eat cycads or palms (otherwise SQUISH)

We got our relief from the warm weather today. As we drove home from shopping in the west end at 3:30, we drove through an extremely weak circular airflow. The winds were too weak and the centre of the airflow too big for anything, other than someones laundry basket, to be tossed around. It was cool looking out the driver's side window and seeing the wind coming from the west. Then looking out the passengers side window and see the wind coming from the east. The sky got pretty dark and the lightning display was entertaining.

The serious thunder storms started in St. Albert, about 4 miles NW of us, and moved West and South through Stony Plain, where a tornado was spotted. No damage was done, excluding Hail damage. At the house we missed it all except for maybe 1/4" of rain and a 10C drop in temperature. I hope that we get more rain tonight. We could use it.

A few rain sprinkles this morning and mostly pleasant after that with high overcast and some sun breaks here. Dead calm and mild at 22c (72f) which was a good day to cut my lawn.

Cheers, Barrie.

With the size of your lawn you want a day like today to cut it and not the heat like on Sunday. I topped out at 31.1C Sunday afternoon.
Cooler yesterday and today but not much rain.

Wes ... I did cut the front lawn on Sunday in the heat. Much cooler today while cutting the back 40. Good news is it's finally drying out and going dormant. By the middle of June thru mid October it's nice and brown with no need to mow.

Cheers, Barrie.

From 36 C to 11 C ... we finally got all the rain we wanted and needed.
I'm going to check my thermometer...I think the number 25 must've fallen off (ha ha)

Whatever happened to WARM weather i.e. 25 C (...not 36, but not 11 either).

Allen, glad that Tstorm didn't do any damage at your place.

Thanks, Barb.

No rain over night. What little fell in the evening is now dried up. It looks like the serious rainfall that flooded St. Albert and parts of Southern Alberta is going to miss me entirely. It's raining and 15 C in the south end of the city but bone dry and 22 C here.

Barb; I'll trade you some heat for a little water.

Time to get out the hose.

That was on June 4th.
Here's a pic of what arrived last night...pouring rain all night till 9 am today.

Do we have any forum participants from Manitoba?
If so, hope all's OK again after those horrible tornados...F4s, man oh man!
