What's the weather like where you are?

[applestar]

It got REALLY hot -- by our standards -- yesterday 78°F, then thunderstorm came late, two other systems that were in the forecast skirted us ...didn't look like we were going to get hit at all -- then pounded and didn't stop until sunset. Went out to bail out my mater babies and was at it until dark.... Too late and tired to haul the wet seedlings back inside somewhere.... Checked before going to sleep and found out the forecast had changed to as low as 44°F by morning

Sorry wet babies, you will just have to deal --- at least I had remembered at the last minute to bring the two eggplants back inside.

...looking at the temp its 48°F outside now, but wet and cold.... Ugh. Overcast and not going to be very warm today either. Ups and downs of hardening off.

Don't you hate it when seedlings you've been nurturing for weeks, that looked perfectly lovely until yesterday suddenly looks terrible? I'll find out once the sun rises.

I'm having so much trouble with indoor space, outdoor security.

We had our record highs, in mid-80's, then a nice little rain. Frost on Monday followed.

The Monday frost just might be the last! If so, it will be around 10 days early. Will the weather warm much? Who knows?! We had a blazing hot, record-setting June in '15. Usually, Mayvember and Junuary are tortuous to the plants freshly set out; last year, I had some of them fry!

I've got plant starts in temporary hoop houses over garden beds. They are also in "hoopies" on the lawn! There is temporary heat available in the way of little bathroom heaters and fans but the newest plants out in the hoopies just have a tarp thrown over the plastic film! I take that off and prop up the film so it's not a solar oven thru the day!

Yikes! Yikes! Triple Yikes! I'm packing tender plants around the yard constantly trying to keep them from freezing, drying out, or burning up! So much stress ... okay, truth be known, a little less than usual ... Excuse me, i need to check remote thermometers and may need to go out in the dark with a flashlight ... it's 3:30am.

77 and sunny and beautiful right this minute, on the way up to 86 later today (says the forecast). 88 by Friday (forecast revised, yesterday it said 90), but then it cools off again. 5/3 - 5/6 in the 70's every day. Endless spring!

It's been absolutely beautiful all week! Ideal spring! Pollen is overwhelming at the moment. Could stand a day of rain!

It has been raining at night for a couple of days. I haven't been to my community garden since Sunday and I watered in the rain. Today should be my community garden day to water but because it was raining when I went to sleep and still raining this morning, I think I am going to wait until Sunday again. I only water the community garden twice a week except when it rains. The plants there are used to dealing. When I do water it is for an hour. Timers are not allowed so I have to be there to attend the watering. During the day there has been some morning trade showers which is annoying but normal. It is 72 degrees right now and will get close to 80 today. It feels warmer since the wind is only 3 miles per hour. It is still pretty overcast with patches of blue.

I am on a trip to D.C. and the weather here has been all over the chart. Shorts and T shirt first three days, and some cold wind and rain for the last two. Today looks ok but cloudy.
Meanwhile back at home the growing weather has been fantastic. Can't wait to see what the little plants have done while I have been gone 10 days. Sometimes they like that better!

Reading what @Gary350 had to say about Tennessee highs and lows on the "almost" spring thread made me think to respond here.

I set out some tomatoes, half the tomato patch is filled. I doubt if I have ever set out tomatoes here so early! The temperature dropped to 39°f earlier this week but honestly, I think that will be the last we see of the thirties. Missed a record high by 2°, Tuesday. It was above that record in my neighborhood (86°) but that isn't where any official thermometer is kept. Ya know, some of these records go back before I was gardening!

If I lose the tomatoes, there are duplicates here at home. It helped me free up some space in "protected growing." I feel silly covering things at night. Keeps the cats out and I don't want plastic film to blow away if the wind comes up ... Of course, 39° would not be kind but right now it's 54° at 7am and wet from an overnight shower. Adjust and adapt ...

Gardening ..!

It got pretty chilly here last night! Don't to 42. I was starting to get a little nervous. Warmed up to 63. Which is still a little low for us. We are looking better temp wise for the rest of the week. Possibly stormy this evening. Wouldn't hurt my feelings!!!

[AnnaIkona]

Here in BC Canada it gets pretty warm during the day (30°F) however it's cold during the night (10°C) and we have had such high winds recently!
I'm lucky I didn't plant my tomatoes outisde yet; or else they would have been wind damaged!

Warm and dry. April 2016 was warmer than it's ever been - broke the record for that month. It seems more like August than May.
That wildfire up north in Canada is crazy. An entire city on fire. Fueled by the dry trees. I feel sorry for the people who lost their homes and businesses.

Yes, it's true. In BC it's as hot as it normally is in July or August! In some places it is like 40° and the Okanagan area always gets fires in the Summer. We were camping once there and we could actually see the fire burning the forests. It was quite scary.

Insurance companies - it's their turn to pay, to rebuild that city. They'll try to get out of having to pay. We know that they will.

[imafan26]

It is raining again. It is supposed to be April showers bring may flowers. However, May showers ruins flowers. It is 74 degrees and 82% humidity but the wind is 7 mph.... muggy.

[Rose bloom]

Hot and sticky. I swear I saw my birds panting today...

[sweetiepie]

High of 45, low of 27, wind gusting to 45mph. Ice pellets. The wind has been like this for months. Hardening stuff off is difficult.
