Had an excellent rainfall month (8.59”) but we’ve gone since July 21 without measurable rain since and it’s gotten crispy My area stuck at .43" since June 21...yes, .43. With the heat too, we are crispified. My lawn is gone, no mowing needed this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you also said “once the pattern breaks I bet it doesn’t rain for months” or something to that extent. Good call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this weekend looking cool and wet. Edit....It's raining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted Wednesday at 01:23 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:23 AM High of 91. Had a nice downpour around 2 am or so that put another .30" in the bucket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted Wednesday at 09:25 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:25 AM Greensboro's all time record max min is likely to be set for a single month, the lowest it has dropped was 68 degrees which would beat the old record of 67 set in 2016 and 2015 (July as well). We are only +2 on the month, I think that the lack of a break from the heat/humidity is what has made this July feel worse than the last few.

suzook Posted Wednesday at 11:37 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:37 AM Wow! Finally! Picked up 1.85" of rain last night. Crazy amount of lightning and thunder for 3 hours. Weather looks unstable for the next few days with a real cool down this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUNYGRAD Posted Thursday at 01:21 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:21 AM Last night my family took this pic at Cherry Grove, SC, and a few blocks from ocean. Note the streak and bright light, with lightning in distance. They saw some really cool meteors. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted Thursday at 02:58 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:58 PM RAH has really backed off rain chances for triangle north today. 80% to 40%. Really need a good soaking 2 weeks without rain with daily temps around 100 has turned it extremely dry in a hurry. Went from not watering the first 3 weeks of the month to barely able to keep the zoysia happy with daily watering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted yesterday at 12:31 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:31 AM Only made it to 91.6 today. No measurable rainfall so we finish with 8.59” despite no rain the last 10 days of the month. Highest temp was 98.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmclean Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM Got a disappointing 0.13" today. Unless something pops up unexpectedly before midnight, I will end up with 3.43" for the month: 0.57" less than I got on the single day of June 16th. It was a month of fringing and crumbs, with my biggest catch only 0.75" on July 27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted yesterday at 01:27 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:27 AM I had 8.25” of rainfall in July. That’s a bit above the July climo average of ~6-7” for the area. Most of this fell just during July 9-13, during which I had moderate flooding in my garage as well as some water splashing under the door and into my foyer. The hottest I saw on my thermometer was 98.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
