Day 14 of June, 5.17 inches of rain received so far. Minor yard, sidewalk, and street ponding observed during Severe Weather Day on the 11th. Full mowing required this week. Beautiful Green Plants, Grass, and other things such as flowers and cottonwood blowing around. This is a tremendous relief to those who lost much of those during derecho August 10th 2020. Pollen count has been on the increase as a result. Not too many complaints about that. Full AC needed with fans. 75F does not cut it, turn it down to 73F. Especially when the floor is so sticky and humid it feels like someone spilt sugary soda all over it. Sunscreen and extra fluids required as we acclimate into the Summer Temps, which mean Higher Humidity, Higher UVIs, and the lovely Heat Index. Items inside vehicles such as seat belts, steering wheel, etc are Hot to the touch. So, this ALSO includes NOT leaving Pets and Children in Vehicles. Do not Drive Into Flooded Waters. Do not park underneath under or over passes or bridges. Do not Leave Things In Your Car That Will Melt and Roast. Only two tiny insects bit me this week. Still seeing Fire Flies Lightning Bugs. Witnessed birds flight patterns a little off. A few flew right above my head. That is probably because I am near their nest space as they were re-enforcing them long before the outdoor sirens went off. Birds continued to rebuild the nests after the stormy weather passed. Stay Summer Safe and Enjoy the Nice Day and Night Temps of Iowa : ) : )
