    We are very quickly only going to have 60 days left of avg hi temps above 85° here in the Triad.  This is getting close to the summer that never was, but I dont want to jinx us quite yet.  So far, I'll take this over torch/humidity any day.

    Summer just started, you got at least 90 days of that left.

  2. Warm and humid. Currently 82/75. Picked up .31" this morning.

    EDIT: Picked up a quick .29" this afternoon as a line of fast moving storms moved thru. That gives me a 3 day total of 1.49" of much needed rain.

    Just got a new basic rain gauge recently, reporting over 3.5" on the day. I think that's definitely higher than it should be. Local obs and radar suggest 2-2.5". Any ideas why it's so high? I tried to put it in an opening but we have massive oak trees that surely skew the data. 

    Depends on what the gauge looks like. The real cheap ones are notorious for being inaccurate. Plus, unless it is in the complete clear with nothing overhead, you will not get an accurate reading. If you cannot afford a professional system, you can buy the CoCoRahs rain gauge for about $40.

  4. High of 88. Dew point near 70 made it feel like summer. Still have yet to reach 90. Hoping to finish up the month without hitting 90. If we don't hit it by Sunday, we will a very good chance to make it to July without a 90 degree day.

  5. Low of 62, high of 85. Still no 90 here so far. I cannot ever remember not seeing 90 this late into spring. Dew points have climbed into the 60's today. Looks like we won't be seeing anymore 50's for lows until late Sept or early Oct. Wonder if we can make it to July with no 90's?

  6. Pleasant day today for the last day of May. Temps stayed in the 60's until after 3:00 pm when the sun started coming out. High was 75 after a low of 63.

     

    Monthly stats:

    High temp - 88

    Low temp - 44

    High dew point - 73

    Low dew point - 34

    Rainfall - 5.89"

  7. Temps have been up and down repeatedly today as showers came thru. Had a high of 83 before a heavy shower came thru causing the temp to drop to 68. Sun came out and temp went back up to 77 before another shower came thru and dropped it to our current temp of 71. Have picked up .29" today giving me a month total of 5.89".

  8. Such a cool raw day here today. Already picked up .63" with a temp of 62. Blustery out there too. I am sure those who picked this weekend for a vacation at the beach are not happy.

    EDIT: Ended up with .73" for the day. High was only 64.
