Saw some last night, couldn't tell from what town, should be more tonight. I live on top of a hill so I can see them from all directions.

If you were looking SSW from York probably Portsmouth...between 9:15-9:45 or so. Actually may be the last time they have them here due to budget cuts. Would need a private donor to pay for it.

Great night for fireworks in PSM. Showers held off thankfully.

Noticed the fireflies here tonight. Definitely more than I've seen in recent years. Comfortable evening...68/65

59/58 and .8" this morning. Good drink for the garden and yard that were starting to crisp up.

Hit 100F at my home station...first time recording that since it was set up in 2018. Now 80/74.

If you ever get the chance, go to the Bay side of the Cape in August. Especially Brewster to Welfleet. The water is so shallow that when the tide comes back in over those flats...it may as well be FL. It's pretty awesome. First Encounter beach in Eastham is one of my favorites. Nice lazy river there to go floating on as the tide comes in or out. 

I brought my daughter down a couple years ago and we stopped in at Skaket Beach near low tide. I forgot how crazy it gets with the tide...just sand for like a mile into the bay. Should be back in August staying at a place on Pamet Harbor in Truro.

67F. Too chilly

Last evening in PEI. This has been a good trip. I’ve really enjoyed the island and the people. 

Nice. Family went there on vacation back in the late 80s/early 90s maybe? Lots on the water were selling for like $8K...my parents nearly picked one up while we were there. Oh well.

A whopping .12 today. At least it wasn't in the 40s.

Is it too much to ask to string some steiny days together ? This doesn't look to be the week.

Key Messages:

* Scattered showers and cooler temperatures Monday and Tuesday

* Clearing Wednesday into Thursday with highs reaching the low to  mid 80s.

And then of course for the weekend: 

"Unsettled conditions return heading into the weekend, bringing more chances for showers."

Looks like it could be pretty nice next Saturday at the moment...hoping that holds for backyard grad party.

Cooling off nicely on that sea breeze. 72F. Probably kill off any storms that try to get close.

I think we can agree that Summer's back is broken.  Sure we may see a warm or even hot day here or there but soon we will be sipping hot fresh cider and peeping at leaves.

Predicting first "shot across the bow" in a couple of months. 

Got to 93F around mid-day...legit feel of summer. Now at 68/65. Looks like it'll take a miracle to avoid an indoor graduation ceremony tomorrow...sucks.

Black flies are the worst although we don't have a ton around here. I seem to be particularly allergic to their bite...it will itch for days. Scratching doesn't help since they leave that little hole in your skin as extra punishment. Actually looking forward to a little HHH...been a struggle to get the house warmed up with nights in the 40s lately. Made a nice recovery today...46-76.

Yesterday was actually pretty nice most of the time after some morning rains. Only managed .5" brining the month to 8.18". May temps ended about average here.

Felt like Nosferatu stepping out into full sun this morning. Up to 64 now. Hoping the periodic cold fronts return this summer to give us regular t-storm chances. Pretty blasé in that department recently.

Made it to 62, now falling back under increasingly cloudy skies. Hope we break out later this afternoon.

* The warm air temperatures this weekend in the middle to upper 60s
  may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water
  temperatures, which are currently only in the lower 50s across
  Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee, and in the middle 50s in the
  regions smaller lakes and rivers.

I saw this pop-up and was wondering why. This is usually reserved for when it's actually warm and people underestimate the potential for cold water shock.

Up to 7.67" for the month from a steady string of mostly smaller events. Biggest single day was only 1.61" on the 10th.

Staying dry so far but tonight looks pretty nasty. Been running the mini-split heat off and on for a few weeks...no AC needed for quite some time is my guess. 48/44

Today ends the nine day streak of precip...5.42" this month. Perfect timing for Mother's Day. 60 and breezy out this morning.

Seventh straight day of measurable here and over 3" so far this month. Far cry from last May with 2.5" for the whole month.

High of 58F today...good day to get in some yard projects. Hoping to squeeze in some more tomorrow before the murk settles in. Actually a little too cool this evening. Now 49 with a chilly breeze.
