35 damn degrees in Tucson.

I moved here specifically because I was told it was warm.

I love that line.

When it's 120F, it doesn't matter what kind of heat it is.

Heard some comedian say "That's like getting hit by a bus, and someone saying "Yeah, but it's a dry bus"."

So. Much. Rain. Up to about three inches so far, I heard. Ran a 5K in it this morning, it was ankle deep. If it was falling as snow, though, we'd be beyond buried right now, so there's that.

Saturday and Sunday near 70 with rain overnight. The yard is very squishy.

The heavens opened just after 0800 and delivered a large volume of rain in short order.

It's been chucking it down more or less constantly for the the last two or three months.

The back garden slopes and is chalk just below a shallow covering of topsoil, so it should be well drained but the lawn is almost marshy and my feet nearly went from under me when I went out to attend to the bird feeders.

OTOH, the stream at the bottom of the garden was pretty much bone dry until a few weeks ago.

It rises in a spring at the end of the road and is now flowing quite well, the water table having risen sufficiently.

Admittedly you couldn't go white water rafting on it, but it's a dramatic improvement.

Just in the last couple of minutes Storm Brendan was mentioned in the lunchtime weather forecast and the likely effect it will have especially in Scotland and N Ireland tomorrow.
