And July 2nd to boot! A drizzly day with lots of clouds here; thankfully no forest fire smoke!

Well, I've been thinking my luck was just too good. Summer is upon us now. 11:30 am 109 deg F. 10:15 pm 93 deg F. We are getting afternoon Monsoons. So now we wait till fall.

Lovely, broiled instead of boiled... :lol:
I need the clouds to go away so I can do some solar observing but the forecast for the next 3 days is showers and lightning.

:sprefac: it's been around 14c today, yet a week ago it was 28c. Our problem is that it can drop 10c in a day so we can end up having all 4 seasons in a day.
