Your Weather, 2025

[digitS']

I know that there is a lot of heat elsewhere and we will get back to that.

However, yesterday started out at 42⁰f (6⁰C) and the afternoon high was 60⁰f (16⁰C). There was a "trace" of rain and lots of wind with a few gusts to 30mph. All official ... So we had a backyard barbecue ... ate inside . Good thing we are all northwesterners .

There may be more rain tonight but I think that we have failed on the rainfront.

Extreme heat advisory, started Saturday, runs through Thursday. Not too bad right Now, but this afternoon will be kinda brutal IF you want to stay outside to do jobs.
Saturday I took breaks in my red plastic Adirondack garden chair under my big peach tree that is a pretty good shade tree, if nothing Else, but it was pretty windy.
Today, not so windy.
They picked up my God Mower to fix the mowing drive train belt.
I had to buy yet ANOTHER push mower bc we never removed the broken fencing from the 2023 Derechio limb debacle, and I hit it mowing. I need to call the Tractor place to see who can fix it. You can try to start, and the blade is free, but the tension cord to the choke is loose. I see Where the end of it goes, but I have no idea how to fix it.
I would use a frustrated emoji, but, I need to get outside soon to start digging up a weedy garden bed so that I can bury Eva there next week.

We thought we would have rain from 10am this morning according to the forecast and definitely the colour of our sky but it didn't happen.

I got Nancy out early in the morning to avoid us getting a soaking

Thankfully presently the heat is nicely down to 16c, with wind being at 21km. Humidity is 63.

My car thermostat read 34 C/ 93 F this afternoon. Smokin' hot. Absolutely no one is used to weather like this, and the beach was packed to insanity levels. Everything in the gardens, both flowers and veggies alike, (except maybe the peppers) were utterly miserable. The collards looked like they were melting. Thank goodness we had that major deluge a couple days ago which saturated the soil. Nights have been hot too. Took refuge on a paddleboard on Lake Wanapitei, whose waters were so ice cold it nearly burned our toes.

gladly we have a break coming in the high temperatures tomorrow but until then today will still be warmer and chances of rain.

i'll be heading out soon to get done whatever i can, tomatoes are calling out for cages and weeding all over the place needs to be done. no shortage of things to do other than my own abilities to keep at it and lack of tolerance for the heat. physically otherwise i'm doing mostly ok which is a bright spot.

to make any progress is all that i can do and it is enough for now.

We are sharing @ducks4you weather pattern. Much too hot and humid for June. Day time temps in the mid 90's with heat indexes reaching 100+ There is a chance of rain every afternoon. Lately it goes around us. If it doesn't rain today I will need to water front flower bed.

We MIGHT get a shower around dinnertime tonight. Eldest DD (Chef) insists on cooking at her non AC house. I told her at dinner last night that I would be happy if she made any last minute decisions to cook at my place where at least she could get OUT of the heat, bc we don't cool the kitchen, just the LR/DR/bathroom/bedroom on the first floor.
Still, after tilling outside and working on the big garden and the south of the garage bed I sat in the shade for 20 minutes and there was a nice breeze. I am inside and wet. I bought Vitamin D3 gummies and I have been throwing them back to keep my immune system and bone/muscles working well.
Recent study suggests large doses of Vitamin D is more important than everybody thought.

Largest Ever Clinical Study on Vitamin D Shows We're Wrong About a Crucial Benefit

We are still in love with vitamins a century after they were discovered, with half the US and UK population taking a supplement.

"The largest ever clinical study on the benefits of vitamin D in preventing fractures has been reported in the BMJ, with over 500,000 people and around 188,000 fractures from 23 cohorts from many countries."
All of my medical caretakers have been telling me, "Don't Fall!"
So, I figure this and the calcium I have been taking should help heal up my knees/legs.
I don't mind getting sun in the warm weather, except I always cover my legs. Drs/nurses told me what to put on my scar(s), soon to be plural, but those are unnecessary bc my surgery scar never gets to see the light of day.
