Tropics are boring right now

Good news.  I'm ok with a more stable regime for a few weeks. October usually has some fun and games.   Let the rivers / water tables recede and let some people recover. I like exciting weather like anyone ,but the human/ infrastructure toll has been sad to see.  

Low of 51. Refreshing.

Can you throw up HVN or BDR?  It's been an incredible summer of dews and heat here on the CT shoreline. The overnight lows and dew's have been nuts here. Everyone around here is installing central air/minisplits as it just doesn't cool off at night like it use to.

I agree.  Living up here near the MA border and spending regular work time on the shore  the dews have been just nasty near HVN.  Like 86/77 type stuff and then I get home to like 93/ 69 and it feels better, lol.  Even right now the dew is 62 here and 70 at HVN

Stein holding on in parts of NNE

Some of those small towns on Route 1 from Port Fourchon north are gonna be in rough shape. 

 This will be remembered as a wet and stormy summer with high humidity.  Yes there were some high  heat at times but that's not what stands out the most. If you ask most people's opinion of this summer, they'll probably would not give it a great rating, too much rain and cloudy days, major Holiday's ruined by bad weather and plenty of storm and flooding related issues.  Our cane was a dud for the most part. We had an awesome severe storm here which was a definite bonus but I would personally  prefer more classic summer  sunshine as well.  

Collapsed here, lol. 

Weaker east of the river now 

Warning here

Pouring here again.  I'm done with this crap.

Yea. The summer WAR being more prevalent certainly indicates these type of lower temp higher dew patterns will be more common as we age into retirement.

Tolland will be the new Florida.

I have the same problem, what are you using to waterproof the chimney? I've looked at a few products and not sure which one Ill try.

The chimney hasn't been fixed yet but I spoke with my father-in-law and he recommended us putting flashing around the chimney. I would assume there's already flashing there but perhaps needs to be repaired we haven't gotten up there to take a look yet.

We've had some pretty good storm damage and flooding here this summer, this storm underperforming a bit here was ok with me.  We had about 2.5 inches of rain and probably a couple gusts near 45. The severe storm a couple of weeks ago here was probably closer to 65 mph and near 70 a bit south of here.  All this water has exposed some home issues we are getting fixed,  we've got some water coming down around the chimney and also getting water in the basement from the foundation and from a window that needs replacement.   I've also got a weaker tree that was damaged from the last storm,  so yeah I'm cool with today.

All the Tolland stations on WU are all missing data during that period. They must have had an outage. I distinctly recall texting Ryan that we were over 8” that month after the MDW disaster 

If that's the case I could be at 33" and you're 35". Those are  numbers I'm used to chucking around in the winter snowfall total thread , but liquid in the summer.  Just unreal.

What did you have in May. I know we had 8” here but I am missing data from May 9-20.. so it’s showing 5”

Interestingly enough, I checked the data from the nearby PWS and it's also missing May 9th to 18th.  Basically shows the exact same data for all those days.  5.42 is the total for the month.

So Joey and I just added up the last 4 months in town here 

5.52” for May, 5.89” for August, 15.83” for July, 5.69 June . Added up 32.93” since May 1

You've got me beat here after today.   30.75 at a nearby PWS here in Enfield, just sick amounts of rain.  Between the summer flooding and the severe storm last week it's been a pretty memorable season already, throw in a stalled cane that gets too close and we may be in deep sheet. 

On my way home now but from what I can tell looks like only about 3" in my area vs 5-6 just SE.  You know it's bad when your commenting on only 3".  

Brutal ride to Hartford

95/73.  Toasty.

Storm damage around town.  Had a few more photos that exceed the upload size. Most concentrated areas seems to be on route 5 and near to just south of 190.  

Damage and sirens and flooding here.  Incredible lightning to boot.  Awesome storm.  

We just got smoked
