It just touched 36 degrees this afternoon (must find out how to get a little circle instead of having to write the word each time - I'll ask my personal technical support person later) but the clouds are building up over the Sierra Nevada once again. Yesterday, late afternoon, there was a rumble of thunder way up high as well. Depending which weather forecast you look at, today we were supposed to have a high of 25 - so that was way off!! That forecast also says rain as from 6pm - now that wouldn't surprise me at all. The clouds are those huge, high, shiny ones that build and build higher and higher. We quite often get spectacular thunder storms this time of the year, not always with rain though. Sometimes it's just forked lightening over the Sierras and sheet lightening to the south over the Contraviesa.
Because of the cloud build-up yesterday, we didn't get to see any shooting stars. John saw one or two the night before but that was after waiting up till midnight. The main event - according to our night sky book - is August 12th, so we maybe in with a chance tomorrow night.
And here it is - the very same book, as given to J for a pressie a few years ago.
P.S. you don't have to buy this book, if you click on the amazon logo it takes you to their home page and if you buy anything at all, then they pay us a commission. Normal price for you, less profit for them.
P.P.S.
Tech support has been and visited and now I know how: 36°C
