I got pounded three times in 2010 with 70+ gusts and have not reached 70 since. Even derecho was 60-65. Lots of tree damage with first one in 2010 . and Kenny wasn’t that late June ? one where Brookside Gardens had 90moh gusts? There was a plaque over there about it at one time
Rain was nuts at Westfield then eased up, stopped so drove home and got home 3 miles to east and it started back up with a little hail and three close by lightning hits
Hey Kenney that’s a top 10 all time downpour for me
1.5” in 20 minutes and could not get back to my car at Giant Westfields because lot underwater.
How about you?
I think 27 90+ DCA and no consecutive 90+ exceeding 6 days.
Never does get lengthy hot this season
2010,11,12 were scary as to if it was going to stay this way.
0.1” so far with one last shot just to the west
skies have looked ominous a lot but don’t deliver. Probably left over smoke particles absorbing the moisture. Similar to the corn dust in the winter. Perhaps Ian will chime in as he is well versed in this.
A lot of nights last months it had already dropped from 85-90 highs to 60-65 at this time and on the way down to 50 again. 35-40 spreads not uncommon this season.
Not tonight . Uncoolish tonight
The word I just got is that this summer never gets into protracted heat, does not get a string of more than 6 90+ consecutively and has 30 or less 90+ readings at DCA.
