I am heading to my sister's beach house in Narragansett out on Pt Judith today. Same thing there where only a north wind will bring in any heat. Its absolutely wild to leave there when its like 72 degrees and you get to Providence and its 102. I setup a wunderground station there a few years back. High was 72 yesterday and its only briefly touched 80 3 times this year. Probably one of the coolest locations outside of an island in New England.

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.

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.

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.
