Soggy outside, not so much from additional rain but a super-heavy dew because we fell to 60F overnight. Partly sunny for now, so I have 3 sets of solar panels and "power buckets" out there to fill as the sun rises far enough to reach over the trees to my east.
Those are my best hours, since the heat doesn't set in until later and once the sun gets much past Noon I am too shaded to the west and south to collect much power.
We expect a high of 82F by afternoon, as well as more rain or even thundershowers. Tomorrow looks like a similar pattern, but reaching 92F. Sunday 94F or higher, beating down all day and staying warm over night. Monday about the same.
One area I reseeded with shade-tolerant grass is loving this weather. Very encouraging. Another area I did the same but I'm not seeing sprouting even begin! The overhanging trees are much larger there with denser leaves, so until recently little rain was reaching the ground. I should have been watering, though I did that a few years back in the same area and it only got me minor growth before it all died back and mosses took over.
