Yesterday evening…

…we had thunder. A real thunder storm, featuring fabulous thunder, but very little rain. And when the thunder rolled away, I figured that was it.

But the thunder came back, along with lightning, and then rain. And for an hour we had a classic, old-fashioned duck drownder. You could almost hear the shrubbery sighing with relief. For once this summer, the epicenter of stormbogenesis was almost overhead.

So that was good. But what came after, particularly today, was not so good. Namely, humidity, and lots of it.

Normally, I would complain about humidity, and today’s humidity certainly needs complaining about, but I am restraining myself because of the interrelatedness of humidity and rain. I will tolerate humidity if it means rain.

This afternoon, the humidity again brought thunder, but no rain. That is bad humidity. However, tonight’s humidity is responsible, I believe, for a severe weather waning. The curse seems to be ended, but if the forecast fizzles as it usually does, then tonight’s humidity is bad humidity, too.
