One heck of a storm just blew in. I don't mind the daily late afternoon showers, that last from a half hour, to a couple hours. They cool things off, without causing any standing water. I don't really mind the occasional storms, except the results on the pool. It's hard to maintain a steady chlorine setting, when so much fresh water is being added, then it doesn't rain a few days, so it's too high. When it storms like this, I don't even bother with the settings. I just toss a couple big tablets in the skimmer basket.
