Joys of Northern Wisconsin

[jesse_the_k]

My family is enjoying a week up north near Rhinelander. Eating, chatting, sitting outside without care thanks to a steady 25 mph (40 kph) keeping the mosquitoes away.

Yesterday’s sunset is a thin sliver of peach and baby blue, barely an eighth of the sky, but fortunately doubled in the still lake. Impressive deep blue cumulonimbus fill the rest of the horizon. It’s a gentle end to the day. At 1 am, a very loud thunderstorm woke us all up while dropping 2 inches of rain.

Any exciting weather by you?

Gorgeous!

We have no good weather. It's one million degrees and climbing here. LOL

We've had what's very hot for British people -- low to mid 70s. This happens every summer for a few (non-consecutive) weeks: they all wilt in the heatwave and I try not to be obnoxious with how much I am reveling in what is for me perfect summer weather: those temps, low humidity, and no bugs! They don't know how good they've got it here. ;)

HOT. HOT HOT HOT TOO HOT. Very pretty photo.

Not sure when you left town, but twice in the last week storms have included sky that's growling (LaShawn's word for it on Bsky). Fortunately no tornadoes appeared, though some largish hail (golf ball) came down after.

As usual, your time up north sounds most excellent. Glad you made it back there.

That's so lovely!

I'm in Washington state, and today it's 62F and wonderfully cloudy. There's a brisk breeze, and I have the french doors open at the place I'm staying. Glorious.

Love your photo!

12-13^C here (55^F), clear and sunny and a light wind, and I'm off to sit on my favourite bench in the sun, in my garden. 😊

Pretty! Over the weekend we had theoretical weather excitement--a brief tornado warning. But the storm quickly dissipated, being rapidly downgraded through "storm capable of producing a tornado" to "severe thunderstorms" to "chance of thunderstorms" to "it might rain on Monday". At my house there was a small rain shower and not even enough wind to rustle the leaves.

I wish I were sitting next to that lake! Pretty photo.

I am sitting in my air conditioned home, with very warm and humid conditions outside, awaiting the severe thunderstorms we are promised will arrive in the next few hours and will continue overnight.

Wow, beautiful! I love how the tree silhouettes frame the lake and sky.

It’s breezy and cool here after a brilliantly sunny warm-ish day. Supposed to warm up over the next few days, all the way up to 85. No complaints about the weather here.

Enjoy your time away!

Wow, that's a really stunning picture!

Actual real sunny weather after an awful Spring and early Summer!

Oh, gorgeous. Glad you're having a nice retreat.

Yesterday was hot by Swedish standards (29 degrees Celsius), but today is cooler and better.
