Wrapping up a trip to Kauai. Been an unusually wet summer here according to family on the island. Everything green and lush with daily showers. Our views have mostly included clouds… Seems like the opposite of back home…no doubt my yard will look like crap.

Off to north shore of Kauai tomorrow for a couple of weeks. Maybe get a little brush by Fausto but looks to be a remnant by the time it gets there. Doesn't look like the greatest beach weather at first but hopefully dries out a bit by next weekend.

Picked up .49" today, which oddly enough is what Alexa weather told me we'd get today. Enough to avoid watering the garden for another day or so but lawn is still crispy looking.

First shot across the bow

Hope so...2.89" since June 1. Tuesday may be somewhat better at this range.

I think we probably have chances for some pretty rainy days this month. I don't buy anything models sell beyond 4 or 5 days this time of year. Just need some random disturbance to tap into a volatile atmosphere to get something going.

The AMOC stuff is interesting to me. I've seen some theories regarding the cold blob possibly causing persistent troughs over that area Tip's reference to our corner of the planet being cooler relative to other regions?

95.2 for the max here. About a degree shy of yesterday's mark. Even slightly lower dews with that breeze made a world of difference in comfort level.

94/80

.17 last night with a few gusts and thunder. Seemed like we were about to get nailed but didn't amount to much.

Just dropped under 90F. Seeing some PWS on the harbor in Kittery now in the upper 70s.

86/78 on the Davis here. I think my dew sensor is a little off.

Turned on AC for first time this evening. Getting soupy out there...70/69. Let's get that MCS later...trajectory looks good but expecting it to fizzle approaching the coast.

Hoping for some bangers overnight Tuesday. Euro seems to keep it way north.

Actually welcoming some deep summer HHH although it'll make for less enjoyable outdoor activity next week. Let's at least get rid of the 60s-low 70s clamminess of late. Convection has been pretty meager so far in this area...maybe we'll crank things up in that dept.
