Despite our ultra-soggy spring, we had some excellent "summer showers" earlier this week. It was a nice steady rain that was followed by some high-pressure sunshine. I have some wheat sprouts on the back patio and they went from an inch to about four inches over the course of two days. You don't get that with pounding thundershowers and stifling humidity - as is the norm.

That's awesome. :-)

No time like summer, especially when it's graced by the kind of rains you so excellently describe.

I love letting my 3 year old run around jumping in puddles in a nice summer rain. I can't think of a better sound then their giggles and splashing.

That's great!


I tried that this morning. My wife made me come back in the house before anyone saw me. ;-)

Ahh yes, take me back to being a pledge...

Pactimo brand ambassador, ask me about promo codes

I have a story about a particular run in the rain, but this is the wrong side of the Forums for it, so I'll save it for another time

Let me ask this though: Have you ever been in a storm where it rains so hard, that there's rain between the rain; that it's raining so hard it looks like snow; full white-out conditions?

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Oh, sure. It's called taifeng (typhoon). ;-)

Well, that went without saying. ;-)

Funny you should ask that, we just had arguably the hardest downpour I've ever seen in my life this afternoon. It was so odd, mildly overcast day but not the blackout you get from a storm cell, then all of a sudden the skies opened up and this sideways downpour happened, half the office was at the windows watching it (we have an exciting office, I know). It almost looked like a river of water falling from the sky, these massive, long streams of water covering the sky...then five minutes later it was done. Saw one person walk in from the rain and he looked like he jumped in a lake, poor guy was soaked to the bone.

Anyway, yay summer rain!
