Though yesterday’s full daily average sunspot # didn’t come close to the high 200’s record high for the current cycle, it still was a very impressive 207 and today’s early avg is at 209: 2025 08 22 2025.640 57 8.7 25 27 2025 08 23 2025.642 75 7.0 23 28 2025 08 24 2025.645 110 8.2 31 38 2025 08 25 2025.648 139 15.2 35 42 2025 08 26 2025.651 191 21.2 30 34 2025 08 27 2025.653 207 17.2 20 28 2025 08 28 2025.656 209 15.8 10 12 @snowman19

Here’s our MTD up here… Find @J.Spin’s relatively drought-proof spot along the Spine/Winnoski Gap in the precip magnet. Joking aside, there are a bunch of PWS in the area over 2.5”+ the closer you get to the Spine. My local spot is 2.51” on the month. The wild sites are the under 1” up next to Jay Peak.

Too bad we couldn't get a storm off the coast late next week with that southerly flow in place for a few days.

High amplitude troughing near and west of 80W.....I'll take it! Please! Would be nice to have something in the tropics to take advantage of that position but nothing in the pipeline. Hoping for something meaningful. In the meantime August looks to finish with nothing and be a very dry month overall.

Sick maple color season's begun around northern Middlesex CO

52. What month is it?

47.5 here. First 40s. Trenton was 49, first August 40s since 2000

Gotta say that seeing the 540 line dig into the lakes states already on models for next week has me excited for fall

MTD 7.05 for the summer last year 18.25

A cool August is a blessing. I do understand why some dont like it if they are beach goers. It isnt quite the best beach weather.

For sure. We do tend to dry out this time of year, but soil moisture went from well above average to slightly below average. Could be some rain next week.

Chilly August morning

This is the most boring stretch of weather ive ever experienced in my life.

This has been one of the most glorious August I've seen. Figures it's one of the coolest in the last 30 years. Why some people feel a cool August is a personal front to themselves I have no clue about. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Last night was similar to the one before. 41.9. Last year around this time, had 2 nights in the 30s. Maybe tomorrow or Saturday night?

Low of 52. Another perfect morning.

62 / 52 clear. Stretch of nice weather continues to marchon. Dry and cooler than normal overall, still would watch the cutoff of the trough next week in the Tue - Thu period. Trough deepens into the Midwest before ridge builds west by the 6-7th with overall warmer beyond.

Aerating/Overseeding sometime in mid September. Just bought starter fertilizer and JG Black Beauty Ultra

48 for a low at my house, 47 at Mesonet station. Been a beautiful week with highs only in the low to mid 70s.

65 here

Our recent precipitation patterns shifted to drier following last August. We have also been very erratic with wet months and dry months and not much in the middle. The recent deluges back in May and the early summer weren’t widespread enough to affect the whole area. Plus the magnitude didn’t rival the historic flooding last August with 10-15” in just a few hours. They also didn’t rival some of the summer flooding in 2023 where place like the Bear Mountain area had over 10” in a few hours. This is too short a period of time to determine if this is a new longer term shift to drier relative to the 2000s and 2010s. We would need more time to see if we shift back the wetter pattern again next few years. What we can say is that Canada has developed record dry patterns in recent years and that the dryness has also included our area over the last year. These lower dewpoints originated up in Canada with the record drought there. It occurred as the Southeast Ridge shifted to troughing in recent weeks. Which acted as a giant heat and humidity pump earlier this summer.

The avg first 32° at HIE is 9/14 at the ASOS. You should be close to that. Last year was the latest since the station started in 1996…October 6.

MVY and OWD always good for relative mins

I found fall seeding to be much more easy to establish. Warm days, cool evenings, good soil temps for germination, and you’re not fighting against weeds as well. So long as you keep the ground moist you get the quick germination.

9/9 ? Damn you are desperate
