Looks like a nice dry stretch(golf weather) comin up ;)

What we need is rain followed by sun followed by rain and so on. A seasonal balance. However we dont get that very much anymore. I would kill for just one 'normal' summer.

Even better how about sun followed by showers overnight on a regular basis. It wasn't that long ago during some summers that we had this exact scenario , maybe a week or two where this played out.

Yes...clouds burn off as the day progresses and you enjoy sunshine with the occasional passing cloud for shade. high of 19 - 22. Open firepit allowed. I cant imagine a more perfect summer weather day 8-)

Not much moisture, a lot of sunshine , decent temps , this could be the start of our drying trend , even earlier than last year.
