I thought I was mistaken with my 5.5” since June 28 but local wunderground station at the community college down the street is 6.4”
We wet here, complete opposite of June. 

Nada for storms as expected. Can't wait to have to drill another well for the house

Low of 70 here yesterday, only the 2nd 70+ minimum since moving here in 1998.   Had 71 on 7/19/2005.  Low-noise TS 7-7:30 last evening, futzed around for 20 minutes then about 2 minutes after I finished grilling burgers, the skies opened, about 0.30" in 10 minutes, total cocorahs report 0.45".  Noted 2.4" RA in Hermon, one town west of that BGR funnel, and 2.5" in Dedham, 3 towns SE.

I'm not holding my breath for any t showers today. I know how those pan out for us. High and dry till next week.

I find it hard to believe that you enjoy running in this weather. There’s like no oxygen in the air. 

went cycling last nite. Normally on hot nights when you're riding up to 30mph you get the breeze across your face. With the dews last night, it was like riding into a hair dryer with the added sweat.

Far away from sharks. It’s pretty nice up here.

Read up on T Cells and immunity. They think 40-60 percent of the population may have complete immunity to it. 

A July 15 study published in Nature found that there are three separate groups that showed immunity to the coronavirus. The first consisted of COVID-19 patients who have T cells—a bunch of immune cells that can kill the virus and act as a line of defense against future pathogens. The next faction included people who had been infected with the SARS virus in 2003 and also had these same T cells.

But the final group was the most surprising to researchers: 37 study subjects had the T cells despite the fact that they were never exposed to or infected with either of the illnesses. This proves that we all may have some immunity to this strain of coronavirus built into our bodies.

"A level of pre-existing immunity against SARS-CoV2 appears to exist in the general population," Antonio Bertoletti, MD, a virologist at Duke NUS Medical School in Singapore told The New York Times.

These reports have been circulating on reddit and discussed previously here. 37 is way too small to make general conclusions about the population at large, but it's certainly interesting and deserves more investigation.

This won't be much help though.

0.04" overnight.

We have one shot it looks like if it holds together but it just looks like some downpours.

lame here in PWM. Really could have used the rn back home

Looks like a whole lotta nothing burger here. Nary a drop today

No storms for pwm?

So with all the dry weather in June then bunch of rain caused a mold issue on part of our lawn, which killed it. I remember a few weeks ago noticing the blades of grass were black. Didn't think much of it as it rubbed off pretty easily. On the news this morning they had a report about lots of lawns experiencing this problem. Good to know it's not just our lawn but it's one more death blow to the yard

Oriental beetles

Only 1 reported death in Mass.  Percent positive still down near 1.6-1.7%.  
 
Anyone know what those little brown beetles are that are everywhere right now? Last year they were horrible. This year not as bad but super annoying. The size of Japanese beetles.
