Nah it’s just why nobody cares about convection around here except for a few poor souls.

Loud storm

My total for June was 4.35".

That's good stuff but way overcomplicates it. The simple fact it that the sun doesn't really heat the air- it heats the ground which then transfers the heat to the air by radiation, and it was probably determined that 2 meters was a height where there is significantly less direct influence from retention of heat/ radiation of heat from ground. And again, that height is approximately human head level.

Scott mad. Highest measured total was 21" at Darkhorse Lake MT elevation 8700 ft.

I'll be headed to Mattapoisett tomorrow night....hoping the water will mitigate the temp. Any wind direction that includes that does not includes a north component is coming from the water, so that'll help. Running (ha) a race there on Saturday, too. Meanwhile, it was really cool at Pit2 yesterday, at least in the later afternoon/evening. Temp was in the 70's as I drove from Waterville toward Gardner and it was all of 72* when I pulled into the house here.

Picked up 0.56”. Nice drink before the heat

I woke up around 3:00 to thunder and was psyched. Looked at radar and went back to bed. Thank you Mr. Steiner. When you hit, you hit hard

Max here yesterday was 90.1 at 1:09 pm. 68⁰ now with a noisy thunderstorm in progress. 0.40" in the guage so far. Nice!

Quick heavy burst-hoping we get more Lots of lightning to north

My June total rain fall was 2.95 Eric Finkenbinder Ssodtpeorn9201th15agtm456l1iu194u6u50tfu73811fi9m3th867i28t9 · While extreme heat takes headlines this week, I'm increasingly concerned about our growing rain deficit. Storm chances return this weekend, but storm coverage appears limited.

Solid storm out here

Western conn is just getting hammered right now from that complex heading south. Why do they keep stealing all of the fun out towards the western frontier? It’s not fair, damnit!

Ten Hottest Days in Washington, D.C. History https://knoji.com/article/10-hottest-days-in-washington-dc-history/

It be thundering, yo...

Clouds a sig problem today w/ AM convection and dirty ridge clouds, so temps held back despite 1000-500 thk getting to 580 by 00z. GFS has 98-102 across SNE Thu-Fri. That appears reasonable. The MCS is of concern. CAPE up to 4600 in VT late in the day, and still near 3000 in SNE 2-3am Thu just ahead of it, which is outstanding for this area at this time of day (WxWiz EML!). HRRR shows the MCS quite strong. RRFS/NAM/ECMWF oddly do not have it, but the GFS does.

Best light show in years and I had to go to Saranac Lake for it.

Great production. It took me like 28 days of bluebird August 2025 to hit 2MWh in a month. How much does the pool filter add to your consumption?

You have to wonder if something is keeping the arctic artificially cool in the Summer since record low levels in 2012. It makes sense - it will take 1 million years to create 1 million year old ice again. Probably not at least directly, but it is a thought that crossed my mind fwiw.

My total rainfall in June was ~5.35”.
