The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Regardless of the situation, just about everyone has released a balloon. The difference is that intentionally releasing balloons is now illegal by House Bill 321’s standards.

Here’s a word that has two meanings applicable to life in the middle of the summer and a third that you can hold onto until it gets a little colder. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, plout, which comes to us from Scotland, can mean “a heavy shower of rain” (many of us in the East have seen plenty of these lately). It can also refer to the sound made when a body falls into water, aka the noise many of us make when we dive into our neighborhood pools.

Weather Words: 'Plout'

Friday, July 26: Mumbai is once again confronting torrential rains that evoke memories of the devastating floods which crippled the city exactly 19 years ago (July 26, 2005). The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)’s Santacruz observatory already recorded an astonishing 1,564 mm of rainfall this month, nearing last July’s total of 1,771 mm. For context, Mumbai’s average annual rainfall is around 2000 mm, meaning the city has already received about 78% of its yearly rainfall in just one month.

Saturday was a hot and humid day, but some showers and storms cooled many locations back down during the afternoon or evening. Even before the cooling rain arrived, temperatures only warmed into the upper 80s and low 90s. Not bad for late July. While showers lingered into the evening, they fade away overnight. Meanwhile, the sky remains partly to mostly cloudy with lows in the low to mid 70s.
