My rainfall is below normal but not as bad as other nearby areas. We had 1.75" in about a half hour around 6am Tuesday morning. Was shocked at how that one added up. I saw 3" at Centerport and zippo at ISP
0.28" rainfall in N. Smithtown today. Min/max 76/83 through 7:20pm. Current temp 79° F
July total rainfall through 7/25 is 2.50"
A little dry, but not terrible.
I'll see what I can do to get the entire region clearcut and paved. Not sure how my power outage on a sunny day becomes part of a class war.
Temp here now back up to 95, equal to the max for the day.
Thanks. Power just came back as of 4:30. A little over an hour. Hardly even noticeable considering our usual third world power situation here.
Temp back up to 94. That was a an interesting little dip that seemed to be wide spread across the island. A sea breeze feint.
The shielded sensor in the backyard is down to 91. The sensor over the garage roof is at 100.3. The power is still out. I hear the hum of generators from impatient neighbors
I looked at the regional satellite yesterday while the thunderstorm was over the expressway just a few miles south of here. At that time, the exhaust/cirrus blowoff from that cell on the visible satellite was just about to Boston! Sorry I didn't save it
Max here today was quite late; 87° at 5:49pm. An hour later its down to 83. Turning into a nice evening. It could be worse...Paris flirting with 100 for at least a couple of days (Paris, France, that is; it was only 95 in Paris, TX) .
