2023 Day 185
Tuesday July 4th Independence Day The only difference I am seeing from day to day is whether or not there are any clouds in the sky. The morning temperature is mostly the same. The morning humidity.. it's mostly the same. And the dew point.. Don't get me talking about the…
2023 Day 183
Sunday July 2nd It's Sunday morning.. and I'm sitting on the back porch in my rocking chair. Other than the sound of the ceiling fans, and just a little bit of noise from the bypass, I am hearing the loud singing of a Carolina wren as the sun coming up…
2023 Day 182
Saturday July 1st Wow, it almost feels like a midsummer morning out there.. The temperature is 77°.. The dew point is 75°.. and the humidity while high is 94%. All of which means it's hazy out this morning. But it's not severely warm. But it's the weekend, and weekends are…
2023 Day 181
Friday June 30th While my weather app is saying it's 80° out, my back porch indoor/outdoor thermometer is telling me it's 78° and so is my cell phone. Whatever the temperature, it's warm.. but.. not as warm and not as oppressively hot feeling as last week. And, if you believe…
2023 Day 180
Thursday June 29th Walking out this morning, for the second morning in a row, it wasn't totally oppressive. The temperature was a balmy 78°.. The dew point was hanging at 76°.. of course the humidity was its normal 95%... Now don't get me wrong, it's still warm and I'd be…

2023 Day 178
Tuesday June 27th I actually got up early.. then I got involved in my computer.. I broke away long enough to take the above shots. Then I got involved in my computer again... Then I discovered I had had a typo back in April that added 10 days to my…
2023 Day 177
Monday June 26th Well, it's another day that I won't be sitting on the back porch. Even with the ceiling fans on, an 80° day with a 78° dew point and a 94% humidity just isn't conducive to back porch contemplation... And look at that.. it already feels like 88°…
2023 Day 176
Sunday June 25th I stayed in bed for a bit this morning. And so the sun is up.. The temperature is up.. The humidity is down. Do you see that "feels like" temperature? It's not even 8:30 in the morning and it feels like it's 97° outside... Not a lot…
2023 Day 175
Saturday June 24th It's hot. It's humid. And the dew point is at August levels. In other words, it's pretty much a repeat of yesterday.. and the day before.. and a preview of what's to come.. at least for the coming week to 10 days. It's the weekend.. Saturday morning…
2023 Day 174
Friday June 23rd It's warm. It's humid. It's hazy.. though it looks more like smoke than fog. But, either I am getting acclimatized or else something else is happening.. because it really doesn't feel as oppressively warm as it has. I mean look at it.. The temperature's 80°, the dew…
2023 Day 173
Thursday June 22nd Wow... The light show last night was amazing. And the thunderous applause was nothing.. but thunder. At the very least it gave us a break in the weather. While it's not really cool.. The morning's temperature of 77° sure feels that way. When you add in the…
2023 Day 171
Tuesday June 20th I had to get up and get gone early this morning. It was my annual pilgrimage to fulfill the bureaucratic requirements of the school district. For some reason I am required each year to affirm in front of a notary public that the residents that I have…
2023 Day 170
Monday June 19th Juneteenth Every time I stepped outside yesterday I had this strange disorienting feeling that I had fallen asleep and slept through the month of July and skipped right into August. That was what the day felt like, a normal hot humid August day. If this is a…
2023 Day 169
Sunday June 18th Happy Father's Day The sky is overcast this morning, but there's hardly any rain in the forecast. Instead it's acting like a thick woolen blanket to hold the heat down on the ground. And it's still in a bang-up job because it's very very warm and muggy.…
2023 Day 166
Thursday June 15th Stepping out the door this morning, the heated advisory slapped me in my face. It's already hot, it's already humid and the sun isn't even over the horizon yet. Just look at the dew point.. 78°. The Eastern horizon is just a wall of haze. Pale pink…
2023 Day 164
Tuesday June 13th Maybe I am acclimating to summer.. because, this morning even though I'm late it doesn't feel quite as sticky on the back porch. But if you look at the image above, you can see that I really should feel sticky... I mean really, the temperature in the…
2023 Day 163
Monday June 12th It was very hazy as the sun came up this morning. Though not uncomfortable, the temperature and humidity cause anticipation and dread for the afternoons to come. As I watch my backyard, I see flashes of bright red against a dark green background. And the vividness of…
2023 Day 162
Sunday June 11th It's that time of year. Where the sun comes up around the corner of the house. If it wasn't for the temperatures, I would prefer this time of year.. where the sun doesn't blind me as it rises from the horizon. Last evening we had a massive…
2023 Day 160
Friday June 9th Today is actually cooler than yesterday.. at least the day is starting out that way. There's a haze in the air.. if it was a little thicker I'd call it a ground fog. A heavy dew lays on everything. Glistening where the sun hits it. I can…
2023 Day 159
Thursday June 8th Once again, there's a coolness in the air not normally felt at this time of year. Believe me, this is far from a complaint.. with the ceiling fans on, it's almost a chill... Sitting here on the back porch as the sun rises over the eastern horizon…

2023 Day 157
Tuesday June 6th Space City Weather keeps warning that these cool mornings will come to an end here shortly. And I'm sure they're right, because the humidity is rising. But as long as the dew points hang below 70°, I think I'll be happy. Once again it's mostly quiet out.…
2023 Day 156
Monday June 5th It's not as cool as it was when the power was out yesterday morning. The temperature this morning is 70°, the dew point is 68°. The only breeze is being supplied by the ceiling fans. The sun is trying to get above the clouds on the eastern…
2023 Day 155
Sunday June 4th We were awoken quite early this morning because of the lack of power.. electricity, you know.. it was right around 5:00 a.m. and the power was out for 2 hours.. of course everyone in the house woke up immediately. When we stepped out, we could see it…
2023 Day 154
Saturday June 3rd The sun is up.. breakfast is over.. The coffee pot is empty. The temperature is already 82°. This is probably the latest I have posted, and taking pictures, and a long long time. It's a normal Saturday.. not much on the agenda other than grocery runs. I…
2023 Day 151
Wednesday May 31st It's a bit warmer this morning.. The temperature is 72°, the dew point is 71°. There's very little breeze.. unless it's mechanical. The air is filled with the smell of fresh cut grass.. and the sound of a jet engine flying over. Once again, I am amazed…
2023 Day 150
Tuesday May 30th It's a beautiful day to begin our summer vacation on.. The temperature is 70°, the dew point is 68°. It's very still out.. there is a bit of a haze in the air. It's also very quiet this morning. I am not hearing much in the way…
2023 Day 149
Memorial Day Monday May 29th This mornings clouds came as a bit of a surprise. The forecast hadn't called for them.. but there they are. And it feels like the summer time dew points are coming back. The rain chances are pushing 80% this morning and thunderstorms are already in…
