Conclusion of Summer?

 This AM....German weather gave a odd 'ending' to the 2026 heat-wave 'mess'.

So prepare....in approximately 10 days (figure between the 16th and 20th of August)....the heat (literally anything above 30 C / 86 F) officially ends.

What remains for the next 30 days after that?  Unseasonable low temperatures (figure 22 C or less for the most part), a fair amount of rain, and a fair amount of cloud cover.  If you had solar panels....it's not a happy feeling.

The 2026 heat-wave?  Well....I'd say....all total....there were about 20 total days (figuring this coming Sunday/Monday to hit 34 C) for the year being ultra HOT.  Basically four waves....the worst being ten days straight of heat.

Folks hyped-up to buy AC units?  News folks claim that AC technicians have a ton of work lined up, and will be busy through October installing new units.

The drought side?  Yeah....it's probably the most intense drought period across all of Germany....in thirty-odd years.  In my valley....the last real massive rain....was the end of March.  Since late April....there's been around four light rainfalls....never really amounting to much.  The grass?  Absolutely dead.
