RDU officially hit 100. We aren’t far behind, 99.4 at my house. Hottest day of summer so far

I meant tomorrow but we are likely going over 100 today. 98.2 at my house right now

97 at 12:30, how high will we go today?

I think RDU has a shot to break the all-time record again. RAH calling for 102 and RDU has a habit of exceeding that during dry periods as you outlined

It’s been 17 days since the last measurable rain here. The number of 2+ week rainless stretches dating back to last year insane, I wish I tracked that

This weeks drought monitor showed significant worsening of conditions across NC with the triangle area finally slipping into D4 for first time since the 2007-2008 drought.

93.2 for the high yesterday. Big uptick in humidity today

Yes, the lack of humidity has been noticeable thus far. Desert life was a foreign concept before this summer

0.00” here through 10 days of June. Already hit 97 once with 100s progged next couple days. What a start to the month!

So so so dry. This is a top 1-2 drought in my lifetime for the Raleigh area. Yard is concrete and just dead besides where I have had time to spray it in mornings. The once a week irrigation rule was fine until it got this hot

We didn’t have anything like that but it peaked about 3:00 at my house too. Sat between 95-96 from 1-4 with the 97 peak. Miserable

We hit 97.2 at my house so not super far fetched but highest in the state for sure

We retreated to coast and it’s been beautiful here all weekend. Sea breeze and 80

Significant improvements on this weeks drought monitor for pretty much everywhere in region besides northern piedmont of NC. Some areas have gone all the way to just the “abnormally dry” category and much of SC and eastern NC is now only in “moderate” category. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?Southeast

Another incredibly cool morning for June, 53. It is going to be wild having lows in 50s and highs in 90s next couple days
