It’s been a wet month for the state my house has been about the only rain hole there has been. Honestly we haven’t had a heavy rain this month. Thankfully first couple weeks provided consistent rains
Hit 100 for 3rd time in 5 days… 100.2 today and managed to miss thunderstorm roulette again. Our 1.83” monthly total looking extremely weak compared to everyone else
Sometimes storms pick a spot and it just wants to rain there. You’re more than 8” ahead of our monthly total. Storms went all around my yard yesterday afternoon and last night. Rained for probably 3 hours total we picked up 0.02”
I must be in my own private heat island because we’re pushing 97 and RDU is only 92. I swear my station hasn’t been tampered with! We’ll see if this levels off. Oh, my heat index is now 111
RDU “low” of 80.1 last night was almost identical to my “low” of 80.2 this is absolute absurd heat we’re dealing with. Today likely to be hotter than yesterday given trends this morning
Topped out at 98.6 which was probably only limited by cloud cover. Still managed a heat index of 114 which was the second highest I’ve ever recorded here, slightly behind last year
I do think the flash drought last year affected RDUs readings significantly. This summer my station has been in almost lockstep with RDU and it hasn’t been an outlier in central NC like last year. We hit 100.8 which actually was slightly above RDU’s 100 yesterday
