We've been fortunate here. We've been getting a mixture of sun/rain that our gardens love. I have had a difficult time handling the humidity though. It's been a lot better for the gardens than the previous few years where we seemed to have about only one month of hot weather.

Got a wee bit on Tuesday early morning. Everywhere around here people are talking about heavy bursts.
