It’s August. Why do I feel like turning on the heat? Because it’s 55 degrees with 100% humidity. A few days ago, I was running the AC in the truck on the way to work because it was 80 with the same 100% humidity. This morning, I’ll be running the heat.
A month ago, I was dealing with bare 98 degree soil. No wonder the plants aren’t happy this year.
You must have a really nice cool spot there!
NWS Paducah reports 63 deg. F this morning, and ditto for us — but that’s good enough! I stepped out half and hour ago, and it’s just plain delightful to have this in early August! Presently, the forecast is a slow warming trend next week, but we don’t get above 90 deg. F until next Friday.
I’ll take it. I just hope we get some rain by the end of next week - we’ve quickly gone from soggy to dry. All that evapo-transpiration, ya’ know!
51 degrees when I got up this morning, but dewy grass and hazy skies. No wind.
But - as an added bonus - I got to watch a crop duster in his bright yellow plane, a few farms over from us. We don’t spray and neither does the cattle operation that butts up against ours, but you can see for MILES from up here on the hillside and that operation has thousands of acres of beans and corn getting doused this morning.
Love the sound of it. :)
Going out to pick beans in a few. Beans and cukes and MONSTER zukes are all I’m harvesting this season. :(
