My house would probably not fall below 77 right now with no AC. That is not good sleeping weather indeed. The basement (finished) is cooler but still stuffy if no AC. It is not insultation as my house stays warm in the winter....my heating bill was paltry this past winter. Less than $800 for Nov-April. In contrast I know people who had $1500-$2000 heating bills during that time...they are all electric.
We have this convo every year and I cannot imagine how warm it gets in your house. It would be in the 85ish range here with no AC yesterday. Stifling for an in-house temp. And we have tree cover about 3/4 of the day.
Truthfully, I would take that 1/2-1" and smile and hope the LR is off. I did not benefit from April as much as the Eastern LSV so it has been a bad 30 days here.
After our weekend "deluge" of 1/2-1", the GFS is a total shutout into the second 1/8th of summer. CMC is also a wet weekend then small chances of showers as vorts fly by next week.
The GFS is a true delight for people that want some rain and well BN temps. June would quickly be in a double-digit temp deficit despite Friday. The ULL stays for over a week. 40's for lows every day next work week.
Were it not for 2 days in April, we would be looking at an incredible deficit to start a year. Those 2 April days are masking how bad it really is with the lack of those .25 to .75" type rains we are missing out on.
Almost an hour later it is up to 73. There are quite a few low 70's spread through the LSV at this hour...even some non-elevated areas of Adams, York and Lancaster including a couple 71's.
It JUST hit 70 here...almost 1PM on a fully sunny day, 2 days before the start of summer....and about as dry of a topsoil layer you could possibly imagine (no moisture laden earth keeping temps down.)
