We got to 90 F / 32 C today. Are we the first here?
Severe drought continues, but I'm watering palms already.

Morning low was 71 F (22 C). I should know soon what is alive.
Just wish we would get rain--this drought is now worse than the famous "dyst bowl" on the 1930s.
Well, out to water....

You are if I can only count my place in Idaho.
I have noticed your weather has been very nice, maybe to nice.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Erik, you won both the winter low and first to hit 90's!
Re watering, be grateful you're not on a water meter.
Bureaucrats/gov't love that tax grab, as it's not about conservation at all.
But a great excuse to gouge us.

I've been watching the weather around Erik's area, just about like our July weather here.

90 F again this afternoon. Tied a record set in 1930 for Tulsa.
Barb, yes, quite a swing. We had a 100 F jump (-22 to +78 F) in just one week in February; about a 60 C (-30 c to +29 C) jump in a little over a month; just keeps going up! Lowest in the past week was a mere 30 F / -1 C.
It is exciting to see rapid growth in the winter survivors, but when an old friend does not pop up I worry it is gone for good.
Anyways, time to top up the rum and coke and head back out to the palm garden where it is now a pleasant 78 F. At 11 pm.

Erik 90f 32c that`s great. I wish summer was here now like your temps. We are in a holding pattern of 16 c 60f. We always have a gradual warming spring to scorching hot summer here. Erik got the pool up and running yet? So jealous of your early summer.

My weather sticker says 72 F now before sunrise and that is the lowest reading around.
No, the pool isn't open. We plan to drain it, scrub it, and then refill.

So far it's been 15 C / 60 F once this season, although that could improve within the coming week!
