Very dry - 10% RH.
I sat outside for a while - just to experience what I haven't for a few years, and there was no perceptible sweating - even at 114F.

I love the smell of the first drops, maybe the only thing that’s comparable for me is rain on sagebrush and juniper.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Quite a bit of thunder and lightning here in Central Oregon this afternoon/evening.

And most of it is dry...at my house, anyway.... and it's been weeks of warm to hot without rain.  

Wildfires gonna be sproutin from this.

Not good.  :(
