What's the temperature where you are???

[AdaliaStark]

68° while feeling like 68° with a dew point of 65° and 90% humidity.

Windy with locally heavy thunderstorms early, then becoming clear after midnight. A few of theses storms might be severe. SW winds at 20 to 30mph before decreasing to 5 to 10mph but there were 80mph winds where my work is located. A low of 58° with a 100% chance of rain.

We had alot of wind and heavy rain where I live with more rain headed our way.

Yes, I hear you.
I am going to knuckle under bad weather by going out every time it rains. That will stop me feeling down about the bad weather.

Alternatively, you can be happy about individual things. For example, if it rains heavily, it means that we don't need to water the beds.

Today was lovely, the high was 27C (80f), it’s actually still really warm at 22C (72f). Thunderstorms on tap for tomorrow and then turning cold and wet for the weekend - of course it’s our May 2 4 long weekend, our unofficial start to summer. The weekend I waited all winter for. Oh well it’s always a crap shoot with the weather this time of year, at least it’s not -20 and not snowing

Have a lovely ‘whatever time it is’ where you are everyone!

I sometimes observe a funny phenomenon here. It is customary to plant potatoes here when the ground warms up and the night temperature does not fall below +5 C.
Although the potatoes that I did not dig up in the fall (sometimes some tubers remain forgotten in the ground, not many, but a few that I accidentally missed - potatoes grow differently. Some bushes have a harvest collected compactly in one place, in a heap, and some - on the contrary, scattered throughout the root system), in general, those potatoes that were forgotten in the ground for the winter - still begin to sprout over time. By some miracle, they do not rot and do not die from frost, but survive. In some places of the garden, potatoes began to grow on their own, like a wild plant - no one plants them there, apple trees have been planted there for a long time, but they still sprout, winter and reproduce.

Returning to the weather - today it is noticeably warm both at night and during the day, +25 C and sunny during the day. We turned off the gas heating at home and slept without heating. A little later today I will plant potatoes. I was too lazy to deal with the weeds, so I sent a crowd of geese to the old beds, which are busy nibbling the grass. A little later I will chase them away from there, and start preparing the beds for planting. True, I have not yet decided whether to simply dig with a shovel, or to ride a motor cultivator. Most likely, I will be too lazy and I will limit myself to working with a shovel, especially since the potatoes here are not so capricious, and the soil there has long been not heavy clay, but soft and loose, because peat, sand and old rotten bedding from barns - with rotten straw and manure - were added there for many years.
Potatoes will like this type of soil just fine.

But I will probably not plant seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers) in the greenhouses before June 1. This is a bit late, but the weather service threatens frosts and if the potatoes in the ground can easily withstand them, then the young tomatoes would have to be additionally covered. I am too lazy to do this, so my tomatoes are still standing at home on the windowsills, I am in no hurry to plant them. Experience shows that those who (here) are in a hurry to do this - their tomatoes (even in greenhouses) begin to get sick from the cold snap and they still get the harvest no earlier, and sometimes even later than me. Therefore, I will not rush prematurely and take risks. Such is the climate here. At the end of May there are always frosts, down to -10 C. They are always here, every year there have not been any, but when they pass - it will be possible to work on the greenhouses (the greenhouses do not have heating, they are simply made of glass and polycarbonate, without stoves or boilers).

Overall today it is +25 C.
