I didn’t notice it too much until walking around today, but the sunny areas are really drying out now.
That said, just another ridiculously beautiful day out there.
An interesting analog is 1986. Very dry first half of the year with a dying Nina. Then precip normalized as we went through the second half of the year into a Nino, culminating in a nice winter.
Just like April, we are going to need a late stick save to stop this from being one of the driest Mays on record. 2nd place right now (0.43”) at DCA and nothing in store until the weekend.
Our pool installed a new heater and they sent out a message saying that it was 81 degrees and they are opening this weekend. Of course, the Saturday weather looks poor.
