#297 |
Earlier it went over 37 with a slight breeze. It's a lot cooler now 9pm and only 29C with 40% humidity. Might be able to open the windows even at 11pm.
Desperately need rain to keep things alive. What was a nice looking acer has lost 4 out of 5 main branches. Onions are thinking of ripening early, potatoes all drooping now and the grass has completely stopped. A couple of farmers took an early cut of silage but won't be any more without some rain.
I'll only be harvesting what I can water which is not a lot the last couple of days. The food situation could be quite problematic in this country this autumn I think.
