About 2/3" today from the rain. Feels especially cool out there tonight with everything wet. 48 at 8pm

Had just under 2.5" in the bucket yesterday that I flip over before rain events lol

We usually open the windows when the sun goes down too except if it's wicked muggy. We face directly south. We have one window AC for the entire downstairs and blow the air around with fans if necessary, but just having those curtains closed makes such a big difference. We got some thermal curtains this past winter and they do help.

I'd take them too. Such a nice way to start off the day. Those dews and temperatures were killer, had the curtains closed all week. Living like vampires.

45 at 5, a welcome change to the past week

51 at 9pm

Heavy rain and thunder/lightening right now. Had about 3/4" overnight

55° at 8:30pm, feels great. Must be at or below dew point as the grass is wet

I flipped over an empty bucket outside on Saturday morning and have 3.25" in it right now, not sure how accurate that is but we did get a lot of rain

I was up that way earlier myself and saw some breaks of sun, was raining quite good here when I left

I understand and agree that is a cool feeling to be outside so late and still have daylight. Kind of mystical at times or something. I start my commute at 3:15 am and can see the distant glow of the sun before 4 and I think I enjoy that more than the sun being up so late, cause you can start outside work so early. I lived in Saint Louis for 6 years and the relentless heat/humidity out there just made me dread the sun eventually. I love it when we're socked in with clouds, fog and rain.

Lol no I doubt they would. I would not like this while camping either.

Drizzle and light rain for the last hour or two. Looking forward to the rain and cool temperatures the next couple days. This beats the sunshine for me haha. Get sick of the sun after a while and it feels like we've had a lot of sunny hot days this past year.

The highest I saw today was 85, right now down to 71 at 8:45. Muggy as hell though.

Thank you so much for the link. Exactly what I need. That's funny about the random 2". Was there actually any liquid in the gauge in the morning?

I'm not sure the final low, I leave for work at 3am and my thermometer is back by my garden shed, so I don't walk right by it as I leave in the morning and I drive an older vehicle with no thermometer built in lol. I need to invest in a digital station for more accuracy. I have noticed I have gotten frosts before where the higher and lower elevations around me did not. I'm set-up basically like you described as a bowl, but a 3 sided bowl. West, east and north are higher up and due south is lower elevation. The trees are also cleared out around the house so that may help some.

Yes it was a nice evening. It was calm and clear here like you said. The hills directly behind my house top out around 1800 so maybe that helps with my cooling. I am about 500' lower than them.

I'm at 42° at 10:30 according to my thermometer. Can easily see your breath

Cool, I need to invest in one of those sometime soon.

Beautiful in our area as well, my thermometer is reading 48 at 9 pm. I can smell a fire outside. Can you see your home station online?

I agree that rain is cooling things. I drove in the rain from Burlington all the way home to West Topsham today, must have been right in the rain cell. Temperature was bouncing between 75 and 68 the entire way, coolest in Orange on 302. The warmest I saw was at gardeners supply in burlington before the rain came through. When the rain let up here earlier the temperature went back up but the clouds hung around rest of the day which was nice.

Down to 64 now, highest I saw here was around 80. Rain with thunder in the early afternoon dropped it from 78 to 68.

Was 33 when I left for work at 3am, will never know if I got to 32 or not lol

Down to 41

64 now at 8:30, not sure of the high. Got swarmed by black flies while weed whacking
