The weather 2025

[JD Guy]

Full disclosure as I've not yet tried this but one of my sons puts a dryer sheet under his ball cap and says it works to keep the pesky gnats out of your eyes and nostrils when mowing. Anyone else heard this?

used to be skin so soft that was an Avon product if you remember them.  It is predicted to be 95 here on Wed.

55° here on Monday. Today it hit 72° on the porch. Bug net works good for me, had it on today starting around noon. Sunny day.

Had a bright moon here all night, never set until close to 6:00 am.

I was enjoying my morning coffee around 5:00 am on the porch and before that was preparing lunch and starting a breakfast before heading to work. I leave for work just before 6:00 am. 

I might be able to get the onions in the garden this weekend.

Another 45° morning, but lots of sun coming and in the high 70's.  

[SwampDonkey]

50° this morning, sunny. Looks like mid 80's today. We actually hit 78° yesterday at 5:00 pm. Dry as popcorn around here. Looks like cooler and damp starting on the weekend and lasting all next week, 50's weather.

We're supposed to get to 85 tomorrow, then back in the mid 70's for the next week or so. It's been on and off rainy here. 

[Stephen1]

Was sunny for the sunrise, rain coming or so they say, was warm enough now I can leave the window open at night!

[SwampDonkey]

85° here now, suppose to be similar tomorrow with a possible shower late in the afternoon. Doesn't sound like a high probability. Windows are open here, it's a real dry heat. This is our driest time of year right now. Then first part of June will usually be wet and cooler.

Started out a sunny day here in eastern NC. I got some errands done, and set up a card table to pack up a boring machine to send to a customer in Maine. 35 minutes into the take down, I heard some thunder. Rushed and put everything away as to not get the machine, tools, and card table wet. And went in for lunch.
Rained for a while, and then the sun came back out. Got the packing done this second time I set everything up. And put away just before dinner. Radar shows a bit line of storms heading our way again this evening.
I've got one more errand to run and then I'm done for the night.

Yesterday was a wonderful day, lots of sun.
This morning is 54° and should be in the mid 70's with no sun today.

@doc henderson your mention of Skin So Soft quickly brought that smell, which my weird dog nose really dislikes, right back. The black fly season sounds miserable, but so does re-smelling SSS. Everyone at camp, when I was a kid, used it and just thinking about it makes me want to barf!

[doc henderson]

You are welcome!    Yes, my mom had a little blue cloth Avon sales lady case when I was about 4.  We always got to pick out a special fun cologne decanter each year at Christmas.

[SwampDonkey]

I've used that Avon - Skin So Soft years ago for black flies.

I got home today from work and I noticed my neck was all chewed up by them black flies. They musta got into my shirt collar and past the netting. Little black ballasts.   

60° this morning, 85° now. Dry all day, no so called 'possible showers'. Was mostly sunny in the afternoon, but all sun this morning.

[thecfarm]

I had more sun then I expected.
Tried to shower a couple times, but hardly enough to get the ground wet once.

[thecfarm]

55° and looks like 80 for a high.
Heat is off.
But the high next week is 55!!!! 

[aigheadish]

Was in the mid 80's for golf last night but not as sweaty as I expected, thanks to clouds and some breeze. 'Twas quite warm in the house last night and this morning. Nothing like sweating in the shower. We have a whole house fan that no one but me will turn on and it does a great job at moving the heat out, but I got home too late to fire it up. Slept with no covering, which is unusual, but I'd rather not turn on the a/c yet. 

We are on a boil advisory, what a pain in the butt that is. I take good water from the tap for granted, I'm finding. 

[SwampDonkey]

Was 63° here this morning,  and the moon was shining. I got down to work and it was foggy on the hills and there was a couple showers. Came home and the sun was still shining, some clouds, but 75°. Never had a drop of water up here.

[thecfarm]

56° and the high is not much higher,    60.
Clouds and showers today.
I would hate to have a dry Saturday.
Yesterday was a wonderful day, some sun and 80's.

[SwampDonkey]

50° up here on the porch. Dry so far, cloudy, possible shower at some point. Nice to put them onions in. Will need the bug net or I'll be breathing black flies.     Mowed last night and tilled the garden up.

[Stephen1]

Woke up at 6 and was storming and warm, now at 8 its storming again and cool. Going to be cool for a few days 

[SwampDonkey]

Got the onions in and the fence posts up and it started to shower. 

[SwampDonkey]

Had that one quick shower, not much else. Got the fence up on the posts. Planted the tomato seeds.

55° this afternoon for the high. Looks like a better chance for rain tonight, but you never know with the modern forecasting, very poor results as far as rain. 

[thecfarm]

Rain!!!

[SwampDonkey]

Yes, rain here now. It has come down heavy at times and we've had lightning with it.    I'm interested to see if we get an actual inch + of rain, a real rain. Nice to have rain here, it's been dry. But this is usually dry here now, then June will be wet until the middle of the month. I've seen cold rain in June, tying ribbons on trees and my hands were freezing cold.

[SwampDonkey]

50° and we had 3/4" of rain last night. Still on and off rain for today I guess. Good day to stay in bed.    We do need every drop we can get up here.
