87storms

I’m not convinced. 2017-2018 were wet summers if I recall, but it’s been consistently humid for for at least a month and a half straight (I got back from Vegas in early July). Dews in the 70s on the regular.

I really think this might be one of, if not the most humid summer we’ve ever had. These dewpoints are straight out of the gulf coast states.

Finally got to the beach this weekend and got teased by Jeep week (which I didn’t know was happening, so that was kinda cool). Also went boating and swam in a shallow part of Wight Bay. The bottom felt like a mix of mud, sand, and algae. It was different lol. That part of the bay was warmer than I expected…in a refreshing way. Looks like a mini heat wave incoming before hints of Fall arrive.

I’ve been getting lit up lately lol. It’s the humidity. The bugs weren’t like this the last few summers when we were essentially living in a steppe climate.

Gotta be over 0.5” here. Another drencher.

This is fewer and farther between so far. That one storm was crazy. Starting to rain here now.

This storm has some violent lightning associated with it.

That storm has been eating very well, I can tell you that much. Starting to cross the mountains now.

Sounds like a war zone on the other side of the Catoctin’s lol

Noisy storm, but it’s having a helluva time making it over the hills of Catoctin.

Gotta see if they hold as they move east. Very slow movers. I did seen some lightning over the Catoctin’s on my drive home.

lol I was tempted to get a clunky meniscus bike ride in over at the shed but chose hoops. Prob still would have made it back in time, but radar does look interesting. The humidity this summer has been something else.

Sunnier than I expected to start the day. Looks like some light rain came thru predawn. Storms later?

Beautiful weather for a day off, though it is impressive how much the dews have still stuck around. We’re really locked into a generally more moisture laden pattern, it seems.

1”+ might be at play here. FCC already over a half inch.
