The woods were dark at this spot.
We had a hot day yesterday. I measured the temperature on our (shaded) deck at 34ºC (about 93ºF) in mid-afternoon. Then, around midnight, the thunder and lightning started. The storms weren't particularly violent, at least not here, but they went on for two and a half hours. I was awake most of that time -- I find it hard to sleep during thunderstorms. Rain started around 02h45, after the thunder had moved off to the northeast. I finally got to sleep sometime after 03h00.
It started an hour earlier here...
ReplyDeleteand it has watered the garden for us...
1/2" of rain...
no more back breaking "standing there with the hose" watering...
for a couple of days, anyway!
We got about 10 millimeters of rainfall here.
Delete'Bout the same then...
Deletethank goodness!
The potager was desperate for some general watering...
we've just been watering the major plants and seedlings...
but not the ground around them...
so at least some of the water percolates sideways away from the plant...
for the next few days that will stop.
After it passed over this region it looked to join up...
and now there is a standing column of rain and thunderstorms from Geneva to Oslo!
So glad NOT to be under that.
It's cool for a bit of digging at the moment....
