Agreed. September can be a dry month outside of tropical mischief. But we have an oncoming Nino. Depending on how/where it sets up and countless other factors, it could still be a mild, snowless winter. But I'm not concerned about a dry winter. I think once we get into October, the faucet gets turned on and it's wet until next spring. (Of course I can't forecast my way out of a wet, paper bag so everything I said above could be dead wrong. ) About .15" from this morning's atmospheric river. 71F/DP 69F

That green jawn put about .40" in the bucket this morning. Expecting a steamy-windows advisory from Agnes. 73F/DP 72F

Could use a little rain, parts of the lawn looks like it wants to brown up. 79F/DP 58F

No 90F here today, 87F/DP 73F. A month to go until the equinox, where’s Birds with the countdown calendar??

This. I understand there is no scientific correlation, but it "seems" whenever we hit a string of 90's in April, the following summers are tolerable (1976, 2009). I wouldn't call this a "cool" summer (speaking strictly imby), I would call it seasonably warm. Uncomfortable too with the high dews. Plus I've only been under one heat advisory so far (unlike our "hot" summers where we can go a week or more under excessive heat warnings).

I had forgotten parts of LA county were also under a blizzard warning earlier this year. They’re having an interesting year weather wise. Gorgeous here, great day to be out in the yard. 74F/DP 57F

I think I heard San Diego's daily rainfall record is something like .60"? So yeah, even 2"-3" will be their version of Floyd Windows open with a nice breeze coming through the house, 81F/DP 62F.

No floating or flying cows last night but somehow still managed to lose power. WTF??!! This is the 4th time since Saturday night. 73F/DP 72F

Glad your power is back. Not sure if the issue was with my house so much as PECO was turning off my power to fix whatever the issue was. By 12:30 yesterday I gave up waiting and hopped into cold shower, thank God it's August! Sun now sets before 8pm! Bring on fall! 86F/DP 68F

On my third power loss in the last 12 hours. Good news is there’s a bunch of guys standing around some PECO trucks and orange cones down the street.

Power was out briefly last night, came back and is now out again 71F/DP 70F

Shite’s happening. Gusty winds, lost power

Getting a sun shower from it, but mainly passing to my north. Dropped my temp down to 82F but the DP is still a craptastic 75F.

Yeah, I think we’re gonna get the seven-ten split here. But clouds have moved in and kept me from seeing a 90F today, so there’s that.

Some junk ‘n stuff to the west of Birds and me. Wonder if I can sneak in a 90F today. 88F/DP 75F

Large tree limb down on the front lawn this morning. If that's the worst around here, I lucked out! 71F/DP 68F

Pretty much matches what happened here. One really strong gust when the line first hit. About .40” this morning with another .50” this evening. Still getting an occasional lightning flash and thunder. 69F/DP 68F

Those things used to terrify me as a kid. Came to learn they are essentially harmless — the males don’t have stingers and the females would rather use them on cicadas than humans. Who knew? 83F/DP 65F

Hasn't that been our issue of late? Even when we get blocking, it links up with the SE ridge. Hopefully the Nino couples with the atmosphere this year and beats down the pig ridge. Bit more sticky out there this morning, 73F/DP 63F.

Heard my first katydid last night. It was also the first night in weeks I had the AC off and windows open, so maybe they've been out there for awhile and I hadn't noticed. 62F/DP 60F

89F for a high today, so no “heatwave” here. Regardless, it was still a bad hair week. AC off with a refreshing breeze blowing through. Final items still to check off on the summer list are hearing katydids and seeing cicada killers.

Getting a sun shower right now. I’ll have to go rainbow hunting in a bit. 85F/DP 77F

88F/DP 75F Waiting for junk & stuff to pop.

About .20” in the bucket last night, getting a light shower now. Anything to add to the dews 72F/DP 71F

Looks like it blew up after passing us, great light show off to the south. But it did drop my temp down to 76F.
