Pretty sad... about 1/3 of what we need to maintain our fields and gardens. Not enough to replenish lowered water tables.

Sadly, our local beach is closed. The small amount of rain we have has closed it due to e.coli.

It's been another overnighter of rain, just a tad. Everything is dewy and it is wonderful seeing precipitation on the deck in the morning.

A strange band of clouds! I sit with my aging client today and she is afraid of storms. No storms, Wed., the clouds dissipated.

It's raining some more today, even as I write, but overnight a wonderful 11.172 mm (0.44") of rain. Happy Dance! It is a start.
Sadly, there was quite a windstorm and some microbursts east of Georgian Bay. There are many without power!

We are hopeful of rain, perhaps tomorrow. Happily, instead of 30 C., it is just 20 this morning. Only 6 deerfly bites on the driveway, getting the paper. They are merciless.
Can we pair this with the jaws theme or something? The main event is on its way, #Ottawa. pic.twitter.com/00J5klcbtN— Kyle Smith (@KylesWeather) July 9, 2016

Just missed some rain.
July 3
Another little drop of rain! Nothing to be sneezed at... 0.76mmJuly 2nd
A titch of rain this morning, some yesterday as well. So happy to see it.
If I were running the #CanadaDay fireworks in #Ottawa, I'd be starting the show as soon as the current rain ends.. pic.twitter.com/YK4xB12JB2— Kyle Smith (@KylesWeather) July 2, 2016

Happy Canada Day! A Cold morning, beginning with 10 C., at 6:00 a.m., and lots of dew. Hopefully, in an official Mild Drought, we can anticipate some good rains this month.

Interesting to see all the different situations brought together here. We have had such a lot of rain here in Rhineland, I wish I could send you some! Thanks for your comment on my blog! Hugs, Valerie
some parts of Canada are getting more than their share and we are parched. We had some gray clouds building when we were in the interior of Algonquin Park yesterday. I was hoping it would let loose and knock down the dust, but to no avail. By the time we got home it was blowing to the east.
The Mississippi is incredibly low here, and there are gross algae blooms.
Congrats on the canoe ride.
At least you have promises of rain, we don't have even that here.LOL.
I've been watching the Rideau River here in town... it's very low in places.
