1.22 this evening and a little over 2” total since last evening. Thankfully we dry out over the next 7 days!


.

Had an amazing thunder storm last night around midnight. Most frequent lightning in years. Very heavy rain as well.


.

I have 0.35” from multiple rounds this evenung. I was hoping to hit 5” for the month but will fall just short.


.

Needed some rain to verify today as the last several under performed at only a tenth or two. Nope not a drop.
New drought maybe who knows why not
4.40" June
 

0.56” here in the heavy shower . Just west of me got clobbered in berks county.


.

It is definitely far worse in Florida! Yeah, today and tomorrow are awful, but every day is suffocating down there in the summer. We just had several days in the 60s this month. Central Florida is definitely worse than the coast where you get some seabreeze, but it is punishing down there in the summer pretty much every day.


.

Worst forecast ever!


.

Thankfully, we got minimal rain out of this today. 8 1/2 inches last month and 3 1/2 inches thus far this month. In contrast to fall and winter, we do not need any rain anytime soon!


.

Got a quick 1/3” at home from that batch, but my actual location during the storm near Costo Allentown must have been at least an inch. It was a torrential downpour and heavy storm.


.

Quick 1/4” of rain from this line of showers and tstorms. Already sunny again!


.

I ended up with 3/4“ rain. That was a torrential rain and then fizzled hasn’t moved east of my location.


.

Pretty good rain in these thunderstorms up here in the Lehigh Valley.


.

12.40" final May total
 

Pretty intense shower moving through with gusty winds and heavy rain. The sun was just a figment of my imagination!


.

2.25 inches of rain at my house - Spring Creek is at flood stage and rising quickly. Been a long time since we have reached flood stage. Yes I will declare this drought over guys at this time. These long duration rains are now bringing up the base flows of the streams. Corn is coming up nicely in my area of Lehigh County. If the farmer is trying to plant it now, it could be a loss. The loss however is not just the rain but with the extreme cooler temps. Usually by now, we have temps in the mid to upper 80's with a few days of 90's.   In fact, we maybe back in the 40's for overnight lows and highs only in the upper 60's for June 1   ------ Coolest I have seen for us in June but it does save on the AC bills. But after Wednesday, we go back into the oven.  Watch the mold counts grow big time. 

1.73” for the event and 8.33” for the month, not as insane as a number of you for the monthly total, but still insane! Mid 50s with wrap around rain this morning on the backside of the low is just odd. This is the strangest May I can ever remember.


.

49.9F and about an inch of rain for the event (regional precip total map a lot more uniform for this event than just about any other event this spring!)A lot less rain over the next 7 days but still lots of clouds unfortunately. We need a week of dry sunny warmth.


.

I 'm hoping you get confused between statistical cycles and overall trends.   Like the stock market for instance. There are short term cycles up and down- but the overall actual statistics show a long term trend of upward.   As it were- the overall warmth of our planet has also trended up, despite shorter term ups and downs ("cycles").  That is unequivocal, using the best data gathering tools that mankind has produced- and cannot be denied, unfortunately.  I wish it were not so...  Just being realistic- looking at objective evidence. No arm waving, or card carrying.   I've been around the world- and seen the evidence that supports the long term trend- which is becoming evident to impartial data gathering mechanisms.  The challange is how do we monitize solutions that buffer us from impending negative possibilities? 
 
 
 

I was so curious while at work what my weather station would register for that storm (I have an older model, not connected to the Internet, only wireless to the base station.) Just got home and 1.72”. It’s certainly not normal to be at 5” rain mid month! Hope the line to the west disintegrates before it gets here as we really cannot absorb anymore water.


.

58f with steady rain this am and up to 1.17” for the event. We did have some heavier rain for a bit. It looks like we’re in this wet pattern for a while with only brief breaks over the next week.


.

0.43” rain throughout the day, despite an unimpressive radar representation for the most part. The trees and vegetation are doing very well this month, but we still have a longer term precipitation deficit in these parts. Thankfully we are chipping away with that.


.

Observation:   The repeated underperformance of rainfall amounts in our part (western Camden County) of SNJ has been notable.  Amounts from the last several events to the west and in some cases to the east on the coastal plain have been significantly higher.  Soil moisture and vegetation are continuing to suffer. Last 2 days have featured minimal rain- not enough to wet under the trees and radar looks to be winding doiwn rapidly from this event, Dry begets dry it seems.  

1.70”. Finally got an overperformer here.


.

1.31” overnight thus far, which beats my 1.00” all last weekend. Mighty cool at only 53.6F this am.


.

59f - Moderate rain -0.16” so far. It will be interesting to see how the precipitation continues to develop along this frontal boundary.
