DC isn’t a state though.

Oh, I know. But you KNOW they'd whine and cry and complain just as much as a real state if something like that were to happen to them.

Thought about putting this in the New Picture thread, but nah. It's a weather related thing. Kind of. Take THAT, carbon tax!

The forecast is calling for thunderstorms this afternoon/evening.
That'll be a fun bike ride home from work. Good thing I brought my waterproof gear with me.
And yes, I am an absolute madman.
I biked in a few thunderstorms when I was a courier in Toronto.

I'm kinda disappointed. And sweating like mad from wearing all my rain gear home.

Last year in our part of the world, summer temperatures kicked in early (May) and we went months without a significant rainfall, if we got any at all. It was a horrible summer. This year, we've had lots more rain (although not Dei's levels) and an extremely mild June. Parents were grumbling about the weather at some of our All Star baseball games, which when they started over 2 weeks ago, we were still wearing sweatshirts and jackets, accompanied with umbrellas. I said then, and I still say it now, I would rather the mild, albeit rainnier, weather, than the alternative, which is creeping closer to being the standard.
Fuck.
Although, if it goes straight on course, it'll hit mainly Cape Breton, not the mainland. And part of Newfoundland.
That's assuming it stays on course and doesn't stop for donuts again.

The water in the gulf is so hot I am scared of what the Hurricanes will be like this season. Luckily the Saharan Dust will slow their formation.

And it'll probably be the best summer of the rest of our lives.
Ya, it's a mess.
It is 101 here now, the next county to the east is 92... 
There were some storms just north and east of here. 102° here, less than 15 miles away, 75°. Not a single drop of rain got within 10 miles of my home. County now has a burn ban in place, and more counties all around us enacting bans every day.It is 101 here now, the next county to the east is 92...
So Taiwan had a bit of a drought in late 2022 and early 2023. Fortunately, the spring rains brought enough water to fill our reservoirs all over Taiwan, except for one specific reservoir, the Zenwen Reservoir, which provides water to Tainan City and its surrounding regions in southern Taiwan. Even when other reservoirs were up to 90% capacity or more, the Zenwen Reservoir would still hover at 10%-15% or thereabouts, because the rains stubbornly refused to fall in the Zenwen Reservoir's upstream regions. This meant that Tainan has been threatened by water shortages for nearly a year now.
We're expecting a big typhoon this week, and current projections are that the typhoon will mainly pass over southern Taiwan, ie pretty much directly over Zenwen Reservoir and its upstream regions. If Zenwen Reservoir still doesn't get any water this week, we'll know that the reservoir is pretty much cursed.
