Sea breeze moved thru around 2pm...dropped temp from 91° down to 83 currently.

91° here...hit 89 yesterday.

Warmest Aug here was in 2016, warmest summer was 2010 and driest summer was 1999, among the records in play for me.

That pop up shower just gave a quick 0.64" to northern si.

Its not like nobody's had rain in the past 2 weeks. We had several consecutive days of pop up variety storms mostly over the same areas

Yeah it's really only been dry for a couple of months...our problems arise if we have very dry winters and springs..that's when our reservoirs fill up.

You had 20 inches total of rainfall last year just for July and Aug?! My god,I don't remember it being that wet

Yes then 10" more in September when Ida started the month. It was crazy.

Still a couple of weeks to go of course,  but rainfall here for July-Aug last year was 20.98"...so far this year 2.50"... normal is 9.40".

Newark only has 1.17 of rain since July 1st which is the driest on record. Farmingdale is at 1.00 and is the driest for this period also. We’ll need to start getting some rain in late August in order to avoid getting another drought upgrade.

2.51" here since 7/1.

This dry pattern started abuptly last year after the absurdly wet July- Oct period. Nov and Dec came in with under 2" of rain each month here...Jan - May were close to normal with the dryness returning in June for many of us.

0.25" this am... hi temp yesterday of 85°.

Lots of clouds around today...holding at 84°.

Absolutely nothing here today 

Yup stuck at 0.53" for the month and 2.30" since July 1st. Still 84/75 currently.

100° high here today. Couple storms to my north and south but nothing here yet.

96/74

Yeah considering the heat we've had and the air mass change, would have expected a better rain outlook. Warmest am here this summer at 79°.

95/77 temp split today.

Wow 95/74

Big heatwave breaking without thunderstorms is kinda like a cold wave without the snow.

With the shower that rolled thru earlier...temp went from 94 down to 78 and back to 90 over the course of about 2.5 hrs.

Eh just 0.08" here...made it to 94° before the rain dropped it to 78°.

My warmest min so far this summer at 78°.

94° did it today.

91/73 currently. 

Many stations that can hit 90° thru Wed, will be working on a 9 day 90+ streak.

Last mowing was 7/4 here, no idea when it’ll be needed again, certainly not this week. 

Yeah and last year it was a struggle keeping up with my two houses because of the constant rains here from July thru early Oct.
