The last weekend without any sort of precipitation IMBY was 3/7-3/9/25…could the first weekend in July finally end that streak?

Looks like it as of now.  This stretch is the classic summer weather we need.  Warm and sunny with some storm chances mixed in.  The fourth looks particularly incredible.

That's a pretty crazy stat of yours though, imagine most of March, and then all of April, May, and June, having precipitation on the weekend.

Just the opposite.  I can't say the the Urban Heat Island effect was responsible for THI values over 100 for such a large area.

No you're missing the point.  The UHI is why it was over 90 degrees after midnight in the city areas, where I was like 77 or so.

UHI?  Mongo dunno.  I saw THI values up and down the entire east coast over 100 degrees...

Urban Heat Island effect??

I can't imagine being above 90 as we approach midnight.  It's so crazy looking at Wundermap right now around Manhattan, Brooklyn, etc.  I've never experiened a phenomenon like that.  Textbook example of the UHI.

79 here.

After this morning’s light rain and thunder.

Now that's a good shot, as they usually are.  This is particularly nice though with the contrasting blue and green.

sun angle is decreasing we finally have turned the corner it wont be long now before we will notice the effect of diminishing daylight..

You got a long road ahead bud.  We have 8:30 sunsets until mid July.  The small amount of daylight lost is due to sunrises.

I can only laugh this morning, otherwise I'll go crazy...why is it raining?  Can we literally not get a weekend without rain, is there a new rule I missed?

Might as well not even open the pool if this is the trend.

Pretty underwhelming here, just some moderate rain at best.  I feel like the strongest severe storms pop up on days when there's less risk.  Today I think we were in enhanced.  It's not like we need the rain anyway.

Breeze kicking up now and can already notice a significant drop in humidity.

Day #5 with rain. 

Another heavy mist and foggy morning.  This gets my nomination for worst June stretch ever.

Raining again. Froze at the beach today. Has to be the coldest day at the beach so late in the season I have had it in 27 years of life guarding. It’s that damp east wind. 

I will probably be fact checked, but I really can't remember a 3 day stretch (yesterday today and tomorrow) so far into June that stayed in the 60s.

Every week for the last month we have heard..."this will be the last one of these til October..."

 

Yet every week is wash rinse repeat and now 2 days of clouds wet and drab  turn into 4 days spilling into Monday and Tuesday and now lucky to see late sun on Wednesday 

 

Make it stop as the #yearwithoutasummer rolls on

As a whole, it's been a crappy weather year so far.  So many days were either windy, grey, or had rain.  Stuck in the 60s in the middle of June cannot be much worse.  We got caught up in this revolving pattern where a couple days are nice, and maybe even AN temp wise, but then we pay for it with crap like this.  Last year my pool was already open for 2 weeks, this year, I haven't even looked at it.

I do see some 90s in the future though and look forward to July where it has to be hot, right?

As it should, the solstice is in a week!

Am I forgetting major events, or have the past 18 months or so been painfully boring?

No extended or way above normal heat.  Ordinary winter temperatues - no cold snaps or even unusual warmth.  Some snow but nothing that much.  No real hurricane threats nor dramatic thunderstorms, nor hail.  No icing.  I'm fine with it, and I should be careful what I wish for, but it is boring.

I mean it depends, nothing major but I know last summer my area got into some decent severe.  Not a snowy winter but the snow did stick around and we hit 0 or below a few times.

Our area isn't necessarily prone to exciting weather per say, which I'm fine with.  Hurricanes and tornadoes are definitely something we can live without, and we've seen what can happen when they do occur.  I'm fine with a good snowstorm or a nice thunderstorm after a hot summer day.

I really hope I'm wrong, but it almost seems we're going into one of "those" summer patterns, in which we get rainy cool weekends with a small burst of heat midweek. 

This past week was a great example, as is the upcoming one.  Gets warm around Wednesday, lasts through Friday, then like clockwork it cools down and/or rains for the weekend.

Will be interested in knowing statistically what summer (JJA) month will see the greatest departure from normal.  I saw Don's post on +1 summer.  Not sure this is substantial but one of these months might show up larger departure.  

As am I.  Curious too if we have a late summer and into fall heat push, so maybe higher departures then.

Very solid soaking here, just over 2 inches.

I hope coming into June we finally turn this corner and get into summer mode.

Not in early June. Mid to upper 80s is decently above average. 

And 48 right now is highly below average, much more so than some 80's in June.

Why would you turn the heat on in the house are you people crazy. At least today there should be enough residual heat from the previous days in your homes where you don't need heating. 

I mean if you want the house at 60, be my guest lol.  I'd rather deal with 85 in the house than 60, so heat is on until whenever it has to be.

Perfect coastal track rainstorm for next Fri. 4 months too late. Yay!

Yeah it seems to be a pattern where we get a couple nice dry days, followed by a run of humid and terrible crap.  I hope this doesn't last into summer.

Good, we need a break from this now.

I think it'll be mandatory to have various forms of cooling, I'm looking at 30-50 years in the future.  If we do indeed have a Florida like climate at that point.

Maybe we'll do what Dubai has done with installing air conditioning under their streets.

https://luxurylaunches.com/travel/dubai-urban-highway.php

 

Dubai is building a 58-mile-long air-conditioned highway for walking and cycling. The humungous structure will be powered by kinetic flooring that will harness energy from the footsteps of runners and walkers.

Yes but all the people who work outside in construction, cops, etc.  We definitely don't want mega heat mixed with humidity.  And I can't imagine how many billions that project will cost to even implement.

How the heck is it May 14th and we still haven't put in the window AC units? I don't ever remember it staying this cool this late in the year. Am I crazy?

I was thinking about this earlier.  We've put them in later, but I agree, usually they'd be in by now.  Considering how next week looks, we might make it to June without them.

Sitting at 1.6" for the day.  On both Sunday and yesterday we had some of the heaviest downpours in quite some time, at least since any convection last summer.

From Sunday through today, I'm at almost 5 inches, I think we're good for a bit.

That's fine, but recent forecasts haven't really been reflective of that fact.

It's gonna be dependent on where some of the cells start popping.  Had a tremendous, and I mean tremendous, 15 minute downpour here around 5pm or so.
