This National average is also heavily impacted by the Summer heat in the South west.
Remember that the south west was very below normal this Winter thanks to our friend @Voyager
It’s just a balancing act to me…
The thunder & lightning is very impressive here in Marysville as well…certainly loud enough to wake me out of my sound sleep.
I don’t think that we are getting much rain out of it, but I’ll check my station in the morning.
