Hopeful for at least some brightening if not breaks in the clouds later this afternoon. What a run of weather for mid June.

82/76

Bugs are thriving.

Wow Gaithersburg Airport reporting 84/82? That DP might be off but it's steamy for sure Oh and I gotta do some yardwork wheeeee!

Plants that are acclimated to this crap weather are exploding, as it warms up now Watch Out.

A nice steady “under the radar “ rain falling here again today . Doesn’t look like any sun unless it’s late day .

I'm surprised it grew so fast, it wasn't anything like this last Friday, can it really grow this fast in 5 days?

80/78 out in my neighborhood. Absolutely brutal

Unfortunately that's the stuff that's gonna thrive. So much of it is from tropical/semi-tropical parts of the world and it loves the heat and humidity. Shit, the knotweed is already 10 feet high When that stuff does well it steals moisture and nutrients from my food plants.

We really needed this heavy rain this morning..... we needed it so much that there are large vines in my mailbox and blocking my front door. Lovely. I'm going to be spraying defoliant all weekend.

you'd love the 101/45 of July 4, 2010 a lot more and so would our power grid.

Erick is really looking good. Recon will be interesting.

some of this crappy overgrowth needs to die.

It was already much drier in 2012. You are forgetting hunga tonga.

Our July/August core summer weather is now startingly similar to miami's. The total lack of lows in the 60s in startling. Mornings are no longer refreshing, its just gross 24/7 during these months.

Glad we mini split after looking at next weeks modeled temps.

I'm not sure how we'd live if we had another year that dry.

Yes, I think we're reaching a tipping point where eventually those records will be broken, even if the years are wetter. Probably for the coastal areas too.

That was quite an achievement during the 2010-2013 era (JFK's last time was 2013), we had drier Julys back then, Tony.

I think we can agree that a drier hotter spell is preferred and it as been a wet stretch the past years but just as hot as some of those years on occasion.

Tornado Watch coming for much of Central and Southern Illinois.

It rained less back then, I think there were less trees because it was a drier era. Look at NYC's rainfall total from 1966, which was one of only two years in which NYC had 4 100+ days (the other was 1953-- in the same era) In 1966, NYC only had 26 inches of rain, nowadays we get that in a few months lol. LGA hit 107 in 1966 exceeding the 106 that NYC hit in 1936 (also in the same era.)

nearly 3" in the last 7 days out here. good stuff and I am guessing our drought is finally over.

Highest recent 98 in 2021, 97 in 2022 at the park. 100 in 2012.
