alright fancy pants. I go on international sites and you need to use an f or a c for celcius if that is even the right spelling. Fall temps are particularly confusing if the author is ignorant of his or her audience. Its just that its better tend to understand who is looking at them, and we tend to not actually care. I mean we want to, sort of, in a way, but should you not just be better prepared as a reader? Ok ok its a small issue...just sayin..

You are wanting me to indicate Celsius or Fahrenheit after the "WS says morning temperatures here in the 30's," Dirtmechanic?
Okay, 30's on the Fahrenheit scale.
Not all that many of the Northern Hemisphere TEG gardeners would be expecting a morning temperature in the 30's Celsius (90° Fahrenheit) in late September.

Exactly, it is in the 90f range here in Birmingham though. Crazy hot September so far, and dry as old bones.

Wish I could say that. We've already surpassed last year's record rainfall, with more rain forecast almost every day for the next week. Can't walk in the garden any more without scraping mud off my shoes (DW will let me have it if I don't).
Much like last year, I'm wondering if the ground will ever be dry enough for me to put in my garlic. The grass never turned brown here this summer, and many farm fields remain unplanted even now. Hopefully we'll get a break in October... unless that happens, I may just have to give up on garlic. Which would break this gardeners heart, because I love garlic, and the thought of actually buying it is unbearable.

Cousin just posted on his Facebook page that they got 3.5 inches rain in Apache Jct, AZ Everything flooding.

From my perspective, 3.5" is a good rain. It's hard for me to fathom floods with just 3.5", but in a desert I guess there isn't anywhere for the water to drain off. Hope your cousin's house isn't flooded.

I had a serious thought today of setting a white sheet cloth roof over the garden to moderate the sun. Rain is a problem of getting higher. We cannot plant except in hillrows or higher due to spring drowning already. Your post made me think of one of those Amazon "good deals" I bought that is still sitting in the shed unused. They are grow bags and water trays. I "may" use them inside this winter, as I have some grow lights. I wonder if something like that would work for your garlic?Wish I could say that. We've already surpassed last year's record rainfall, with more rain forecast almost every day for the next week. Can't walk in the garden any more without scraping mud off my shoes (DW will let me have it if I don't).
Also, does anybody know a good recipe for smelt? We used to catch them out of the Kuskokwim river at Bethel, AK and LO there they were in my grocery here in the deep south. My kettle grill and I have a date for fish. I am pretty sure I am going to fry them in a wok.

i've planted garlic later than October sometimes so you may get a dry enough spell in to get it planted.
