Smoky again. We had clear air for a few days, but the smoke’s been blown in again.
ETA Saturday, August 26th: The air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups and I am feeling it. My sides are hurting.

A Hurricane Watch was just issued here for Idalia. Current projections have her making landfall as a Category 2.
Of course, all this will change after the next model run in four hours, then again at 8 AM tomorrow morning, etc, etc.
Otherwise, it's 95F, with a heat index of 110F. Any chance of rain is a coin toss. It was like that yesterday too, and I got drenched to the skin going from the grocer's to my car.

Hoping the hurricane stays away from us. My mom isn't very mobile and we evacuated to the east coast of Florida for Ian last year and it followed us. Not ready to do that again.
Seasonal temperatures and precipitation here in the PNW/Cascadia/whatever you want to call us here (Vancouver, BC, Canada) in our little bubble of moderate oceanic/warm-summer Mediterranean climate zone, with one big exception: there's a public health warning out due to the unbelievable amount of smoke and haze from forest fires that's just stuck over the city, and stubbornly hasn't moved for days. Happy to not be in the evacuation zones or have my home at risk, but man oh man getting tired of dusting everything every day even with the doors and windows shut and the air con on full blast - and never mind going outside for a run! 
About to rain. Even have a flood warning.
Well, better than the smoke continuing on.

Made it through Idalia just fine. Even slept through most of it. It's still too rainy and windy to check for external damage.
So far, so good here in Sarasota. We even still have power. Holding my breath for high tide in a couple of hours. We live in a low area near a creek that has flooded before so I'm crossing my fingers.
I'm glad August is Over. We now get the Bay Area Indian summer in September, but cooler air is closer now. Unfortunately we have wildfires to deal with so the air quality isn't great.
