The Kitchen Table

It's so hot and humid right now!

10 months ago

This is the third time I tried to post and attempt to put the degree symbol in my post, so I won't do that again. It knocks me out of the KT and into some weird website.

So, anyway, been raining all week, even this morning. There was a break in the afternoon, beautiful blue skies but so hot and humid. I did some work outside. Now the sky is gray and I hear thunder in the distance. I stepped out to see if an Amazon package had come because the dogs were barking when I was in the shower, and to see if it was still that hot. Supposedly it's 63% humidity right now. Only 84 degrees F (28.8 C) but it feels so much hotter. Tornado watch in effect till 11:00 tonight.

I think Indiana is in the same watch with us. I hope anyone up there and in KY stays safe. After seeing the hail in other parts of the country, I am worried about that possibility and my garden being demolished.

Soo humid today, but at least it rained!

DH and I married on such a day, and our receptioh was outside in a tent. When we walked in, and reached our table, DH took off his jacket, and all the men cheered and took off their jackets!

Degree symbol works for me, in Firefox v114.0.2 on a desktop computer running Windows 7.

Alt-0176 on the number keypad does it.

9:35 pm. AccuWeather says current temp is 86°F, RealFeel is 102°F.

Sweet Lilian...not so sweet right now!

Frank, she's already a beauty, and she's not fully open! Just wait until all the buds open! As I said, it was one of my favorites! Very prolific bloomer... although, all my attempts at pollinating failed. I'll catch it next bloom cycle. Sweet Lilian also proved to be very photogenic! I took the most photos of this particular variety. Viagrow... hahaha! So, what happens if the stem is erect for more than 4 hours? Should you consult a horticulturist? LOL! Larissa, in today's world, you sort of have to help your kids develop a thick skin so they're ready for whatever life throws at them. We're the type of parents that never shielded our kids from the uglier side of life... we were always very open, encouraging them to question the world around them, and to discuss things they weren't sure about. Life is tough... kids need to develop good coping skills! One of our favorite lines was, and still is: Life is full of choices... for every choice there is a consequence... think hard before making your choices! When our kids were teens, our house was the favorite hangout... there were always other kids at our house. They would all come over after school and hang out, play video games, listen to music... my fridge got a ton of mileage! I think we fed the neighborhood! You should hear some of the stories from parties at our house! Our motto was: Don't fall asleep before we do! Oh, the jokes we played on people! Ahh... great memories! Hilarious memories! We never had a lot of money, but we did have a lot of fun! Our kids have some awesome memories to take with them through life... that much is certain!

I too have CERISE MASTERPIECE and I live about 45 minutes south of Julia, yet she is one zone warmer by being by a lake, and I have had it for 4 or 5 years and never saw it bloom and it finally bit the dust after this past winter. I had it in a prime spot and it never really took off. David

It was 97 at noon today with more to come until Tues/Wednesday when we drop down to the high 80's (Similar to your forecast Julia). I am so sick of the heat and humidity. I was out deadheading the roses last night and cussing them for having bloomed so much....I've still got reblooms on a few daylilies. Indian Ripple, Pink Aloha and a new one this year, Sweeten Creek (note to Debra). When the temperature finally drops the gardeners around here call it "pansy season". That's what I'm looking forward to most right now-Pansy weather...............Maryl - P.S. Monday they say will be in the 105-106 range. Ugh!

We just recently started removing old dead leaves from the base of this Agave Furcraea Macdougalii, but it will be a few more years before it develops much of a trunk. Anyway, it just keeps getting bigger, and it should bloom in another 20 years. Here it is from the other side, which is not back lit:We recently painted the upper part of the house, and so it is no longer white. Here's a photo I took yesterday at Joshua Tree National Park: I used to have a yucca that resembled these, but I do not have any of these plants myself, and so I only visit them.

We did get a storm later on last night with small hail. No tornado sirens, thank goodness.

Terrible storm in my part of Kentucky last night; wind gusts almost 70mph, heavy rain, 1-3 inch hail. Took down a tree in our front yard, huge limbs from a maple tree, and large part of a tree in the backyard.

It's so humid here in SEPA. Took a walk around the block and i feel like i need another shower. Big windstorm on the way. Wind is so scary. Hope there is no damage.

I'm so sorry to hear you lost a tree and had other damage, Woodrose. I was a little worried when I saw the hail.

It's humid here too (77%), but it is only 67°, and the forecast high is 71°.

Note: I use (Alt) + 248 for the degree sign.

Forecast high for Palm Springs is 101°, but the humidity will be 8%.

I saw a Youtube weather video that predicted an extremely hot summer for this year for the NE and Midwest, but it could be wrong. Our weather has been very mild so far.

As I have said we had zero rain since April 30 and the driest May since 1880. The humidity was in the 20/30% and drought warning for the whole state. So we finally got some showers Friday and a few pop-ups over the weekend which greened up things. The humidity has returned with a vengeance and while I was eating lunch a pop-up poured buckets on us from a random blip. Husband returned from the golf course a few miles away and they got nothing. I am thankful for every drop and hope that the line doesn't cause damage later today.

Yahoo weather says 96°F, 55%, RealFeel 110°F. It's not unusual the humidity is 70%s into the 90%s during the night/early morning hours.
