1.24” for the month here.
We needed a rest from the constant rains though. Soil moisture meter underneath one of my plants was at 100% for virtually all April and into early May, it’s 76% at the moment. I’m surprised nothing rotted.
I swear I’ve been hearing and reading about an impending solar minimum + mini ice age since the mid/late 2000’s when I first started getting into weather/climate. Meanwhile the planet has continued to warm right before everyone’s eyes.
87F to 93F is my sweet spot, with dews in the 70’s and partly cloudy skies.
38F here this morning, this is far and away the latest I can recall seeing 30’s. Very quick rebound but still it’s ridiculous.
Jumped into the 70’s here a lot quicker than the previous two days. I was expecting today to be cooler than the previous two days but so far it’s warmer than both were at this time.
If it was sunny and dry I wouldn’t really care about it being BN, but I just don’t see how anyone can enjoy this extended dreariness.
It’s as if we no longer get those extended stretches of 60’s/70’s with sunshine and low humidity. We just instantly go from Seattle to Houston with no adjustment period.
