Who’ll stop the rain? No one, apparently As one of the rainiest Julys on record continues -- with the month not even half over -- our plans are in the dumps. How bad is it? There are two ways to answer the question. One is with actual weather statistics. June broke records because it was so hot. This has been the third wettest July ever recorded in Boston, and the month is not even half over. August was the muggiest the universe has ever seen. Oh, wait, August hasn’t happened yet. But just wait. The other way to measure the lousy weather is to observe our plummeting expectations. On the radio, anchors sound downright cheery when they report what would typically be a disappointing forecast. “Rain to start but just clouds later!” they chirp. People have started saying things like, “At least we’re not in a drought,” or, “the West is even worse off.” https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/07/12/metro/wholl-stop-rain-no-one-apparently/?event=event12

Another farm in my town. Pick you own vegetables and kayaking.

Worcester after today is over -4.0 below normal for the month. Doesn't look to be going positive anytime soon.

Summer is ruined anyway why not?

We tried to tell you.

That's too bad. It's not like you had been asking for it.

Two solid weeks of solid crap? No one deserves this...

North Weymouth 1.18" so far..this is insane rain wise..monthly now 8.71" for us..easily reach the 9" or 9.50" today..never seen so much rain for the first half of any month..Been doing Coop and CoCorahs for many years. Yikes! craig Goedecke , NWS Skywarn spotter./ #MACoCorahs observer,

It's rained every day this month.

I'm guessing river flow is near an all-time high for this time of year?

Southern New England the new Pacific Northwest.

You've given up on the heatwave?

You are mistaken it's the best summer ever.

Best summer ever...for mushrooms.

Hose or hoes?

Love that movie.

From Memorial Day to Labor day we usually get a little more than 9.5" of rain in Boston. So far this summer we've already had 10". If it doesn't rain again this summer it will still be a wetter than normal. #wcvb

If you'd like more take rt9 east for a few miles.

I just thought of it where has runaway iceberg been? Hope he's okay.

That's all you have for the day? Lots of places in the area three or over.

Other than the endless rains, cold temperatures and cloudy skies this is a perfect summer.

Likely the wettest.

Perfect for cookouts and the beach. What a summer! * From Midnight EDT tonight through Friday afternoon. * During tonight and Friday, rainfall from Elsa is expected to bring 2 to 4 inches of rain, with a swath of 3 to 6 inches possible across the interior.

Coldest and rainiest memorial day on record. Coldest and rainiest 4th of July on record. Rainiest first week to July. Yup, quite a summer...
