Been a bit dry at this station since June 1st with 2.38" of rain...that's about 4" below normal for that short span.

My area (Staten Island) usually does pretty good with convection, in fact my July avg rainfall is over 5 inches. But not this year with this more or less dry pattern since September.

93/72 temp split for Wednesday...with all the potential last three days, have picked up just 0.21" rain .

97° high... 0.10" with a bit of thunder, temp down to 76° currently, light rain about to end.

Missed the rain again with just 0.02"...high of ,88° with the se wind.

Had a high yesterday of 92°.... Got done with the yard work just in time as thunderstorm followed with 0.27" rain and 39 mph gust .

Station stats for June... Tied for 6th warmest past 48 years ( last year was warmest ). 3rd driest with 1.47" rain . I think that the last 10 months going back to September was quite possibly the boringest stretch of weather I can remember. Four of those months had record or near record dryness .

92 high here on si today...missed the rain again, just 0.04"... 1.47" for month .

1.35" here for month... 16.85" for year, about 8" below normal .

It will be cooling down but today's am low of 79° is my warmest for the week.

Looks like 99° will do it after am low of 78. So 99,102 and 98 last three days.

99/72

Cooling off very slowly here on si, finally dropped into the 80's at 88°.

102/76 temp split today .

102/69... Yesterday was running a 98/80 split.
