Here in Johannesburg, our summer rainfall pattern has returned to something approaching normal, after a very hot and dry November, December and early part of January. We recorded a temperature of 38.9 °C earlier this month.

Right now, it's a mild, partly sunny 24 °C, with a 40 % chance of thunderstorms predicted for later today.

However, I will be travelling to Outokumpu in eastern Finland over the weekend for a three-week long business trip, and that will be the end of summer for me for a while!

...enjoy the break - just replace the "+" sign on the temperature with a "-" sign ;-)

Only 38.9°C, I see 48.9°C and higher at my work location during the summer.

Of course inside where I work it is kept about 12.8°C.

Last year at this time we had .12 of an inch total for the month Gordon.

With over 9 1/2" of rain this month tomorrow is supposed to be the wettest day yet. The atmospheric river is giving us a pineapple express here in the upper left coast.

53ºF and rain YES!!!

40s for the weekend, then the back side of next week's big midwest storm ushers in another cold front from Alberta next Wednesday.

Sprinkles of rain so far tonight with most of it in the northwest but they still say more rain yet.

53ºF and fog right now.

Storm Gertrude is hammering into Scotland and knocking quite a few things over in her path.
One gust of 144mph has already been recorded - and the peak of Gerty is still a few few hours away :-(

Wow button up, sounds like a real winner to me.

Drying out for a few days here, the rain we got was welcome sure enough but didn't amount to much.

Total just over 11 inches for the month. We need a whole lot more before we can call it good enough.

after 4 years of really nothing the ground has done a pretty good job of sucking it up.

From what I've heard it would take years of El Nino to get your water table back to a healthy level.

Your right on the one, we are down about 100 inches to make it all up. LETS NOT HOPE ALL AT ONCE. lol

BTW the record rain fall at one time is 122 inches in 2 days on some island in the south pacific.

Warm and toasty here at 67 F, with thunderstorms on the way.
