Down to 53 here last night. Was great to sleep with the windows open and the blankets up.
-
Took a little longer, until early afternoon for the drier air to reach my part of NJ but the mid and late afternoon turned out really pleasant with lots of sun, a breeze, lowering dews and temperatures right around 80.

Just in case you were wondering what the status of the 2026 hurricane season is: That is one quiet looking signal from Google Deep Mind going into mid month. If we make it to September 11 with no hurricanes (seems likely) we will break the record for latest in the season with no hurricanes in the satellite era.

Just in case you were wondering about what the latest Drought Monitor looked like: I think we're all GOOD !

Picked up .60" here overnight. Total for the month already at 1.55". Looks like a drier pattern for the next 5-7 days. Thankfully.

What a hot mess that site is. You have to wonder if the precipitation readings are also affected as well as the temperatures. Can't tell what the tree canopy looks like but quite possible it could be affecting the rain gauge. Doubt that tree removal makes anything more than a minimal difference in temperature readings. That little plot of land must have its own micro climate going on. Thanks for the picture.

Yeah and it looks like several chances of local drenchers coming up this week with CNJ/NNJ favored. What else is new?

Looks like we finish August with .9 ACE points and a feeble 3.6 is the 2026 total to date. We'll see that September can deliver. Looks quiet for the next 5-7 days as least.

Really nice out! Refreshing! Overnight low here of 55. Got down to 45 in Walpack and 47 in Sandyston in NW Sussex County.

The big IF though is if a cohesive LLC remains and goes north of the islands. I think the odds are low but not zero.
-
Looks like we are on track to end August with <2 ACE points. Currently sitting at .9 points.

Picked up .50" rainfall from event that just wrapped up. So glad we avoided anything heavy in my immediate area. Soils are wet and with the declining sun angle they are taking longer to dry out. August rainfall: 8.34". Rainfall Y.T.D.: 41.15". We'll see if wet pattern holds into and through the Fall. Might be headed for a 50" rainfall year. At this point I'm willing to bet on the over.

Are people still working on a way to try and dim the sun? If I think of any other ways we can "cool" the planet I'll post them.

Total here for August: 8.12" including .28" that fell earlier this morning.

Picked up .28" here in two rounds of fast moving T-Showers. Lots of thunder. Wow, school starting early. I can never remember going back until Tuesday or Wednesday after Labor Day. Driving around yesterday I saw some trees starting to show some color, not brown but reddish orange in spots. Fall is coming.
