Monday I'm up early this morning, a preview of school mornings to come. The sun hasn't broken the horizon yet. There's a mist hanging over the ground. The humidity is high, the temperature not as much. For the next few days, I'll be rising early and getting the granddaughter school…

Friday The deep dark blue of the southern sky almost makes up for the heat and humidity... Almost. It's 83° this morning when I walk out, and the humidity is only 83%. But that extra 5° of temperature doesn't make the lower humidity feel any better. The Delta variant of…

Tuesday, Laundry Day The clouds are back this morning, and it's not quite 80°. Though the humidity is at 94%. It really doesn't feel that pleasant out... But it could be worse. It looks like the sun will be playing hide and seek most of the day. It's actually been…

Thursday It's mostly cloudy out this morning. Warm and humid. Just a slight chance of rain showers. But you know, a slight chance of rain showers and just the right place means you get rained on over and over for most of the day. I was looking at the New…

Sunday Yesterday it was an interesting day. There was this big white orb up in the sky, an unfamiliar presence. It was bright, it gave off heat, it hadn't been noticed for a while. I think it was the Sun. But I woke up this morning to more clouds... And…

Thursday Last night, or actually very, very early this morning, the line of thunderstorms moved through dropping a nice amount of rain but more importantly, knocking out our power... Again. I think this year will go down in our personal history books as the year the Texas power grid failed…

Tuesday It feels cooler out this morning... Maybe because it is just a few degrees. With the temperature at 76° and the humidity at 90%. It's surprising the difference 3° in temperature can make. Thunderstorms move through the area after 2:00 a.m. this morning. The rumble of thunder off in…

Independence Day Sunday Another warm and humid morning. Overcast with high clouds. Not a breath of a breeze. The weather sure not right for celebration. It has that Sunday quiet working. When you had independence day to that Sunday quiet, you get a lot fewer traffic sounds from the bypass.…

Saturday The sun was just peeking over the horizon as I stepped out this morning. At 77 degrees it wasn't too summery to feel oppressive. It's rather quiet out this morning. The house is sleeping... Along with everyone in it. But the coffee maker has made coffee and I feel…

Laying about this morning, in no hurry to get out of bed. Sunday morning sleeping in... But, once I do step out this summer day is fully sprung. It's 83°, and the humidity is 81%. Not obnoxiously summer, but summer just the same. It's going to be a long, long…

It's another hot muggy morning. My weather app tells me it is 81° outside. It also tells me that it feels like 91° because the humidity is 83%. Whatever the reason, after I snap to my pictures and came back inside only to discover the third one was a really…

Thunder and lightning moved through earlier, so even now a singular rumble of thunder moves across the landscape. But funny thing, no rain fell. The driveway is dry. At least the temperature is down and the upper 70s for a change. Though I'm sure, the humidity is still high. And…

Looking at the photos above gives you a pretty good idea of what's happening in the atmosphere. We sit on the northwest corner of a massive clouds rolling out into the gulf. So to the east in the first picture it's full on overcast. To the south in the middle…

Another warm and humid morning... The temperature is already 80°, the humidity is at 88%. It's one of those mornings that when you walk outside you have to wipe the condensation off your glasses... twice. It looks like we'll manage to get another day of no rain. At least if…

Stepping out this morning wasn't pleasant. With a temperature of 78°and a humidity of 87% it felt too warm and too muggy for early June. One of the first things I saw this morning on my WordPress app was a happy anniversary note. It seems this is my 14th anniversary…

Isn't a pleasant morning out this a.m. The temperature is 75°, but the humidity is 92%. It's like walking with a warm wet blanket wrapped around your body. Add to that, but the buzz of mosquitoes is almost louder than the morning bird song and all is not right with…
