Harbinger of Rain? 🌧️
Did I notice a harbinger of rain this morning? I knew that rain and T-storms were in the forecast; and I had a 9:15 am dentist’s appointment.
Walking home afterwards, the air seemed more humid than it had been on the way there. Was that a harbinger of rain?
Good question. An hour and a half after I got home, the sun was out; and I don’t believe it had rained a drop. Yet the forecast indicated scattered T-storms! So should I go out for a ride; or stay in?
Extra Risk? ⚡️
Speaking of T-storms and bicycle rides, I can’t help wondering: is an e-bike an extra risk in a thunderstorm?
It seems to me that the battery might be attractive to electrical charges such as lightning. I looked it up; and there are differing opinions.
Meanwhile, it’s getting really hot for a ride; the heat index is in the mid-90s. Yes, I have a cool rag; but when it gets very hot, a cool rag can seem insufficient. And if T-storms really are hanging around, I don’t need to risk a bolt from the blue.
