Weather

It’s not always sunny here in Florida – I’ve not seen the sun at all today, just clouds (of course, the temperature is still in the 80s!) …

Generally we get late afternoon / evening rain, once the sun has ramped up the humidity and breezes from Atlantic and Gulf water meet over Florida – but this morning there was booming thunder and approaching rain to the west while the sun rose in the east. It did draw a nice rainbow:

Florida gets lots of rain in the summer, as moisture laden air from the Atlantic or Gulf meets – often in the center of Florida, and near to us. We’ve seen an inch or two added to the pool but now this week, we’ve had more than three inches and even after Margaret emptied some last night, the water now has reached the rim which I guess is as high as it can go!

Here was yesterday which added a couple of inches:

And now this evening, as high as it can fill!

Impressive!
