July ‘26 obs

Back from Seattle, though mother nature made us late getting back to RDU due to the weather. IT was gorgeous there with bright sunshine and high temps in the mid 70s during the day and mid 50s at night. Every morning i wanted to get up and enjoy the refreshing air. 

 

Had some rain while I was gone and as soon as I got into the shuttle bus this evening the skies opened up at RDU. Dumping rain.  What a gift to come home too. The lawn looks a nice color of green now. 

 

I truly despise summers here though

I’d say most of central NC likely is above July normal amounts for the entire month and it’s still the first half of July. Yesterday’s rainfall was widespread and affected many areas that had missed out somewhat earlier in month. It seems the tide has turned on the drought looking forward with no signs of extended dry weather at all

I think the El Nino pattern is finally starting to take shape.

I have missed out on most of the real downpours so far this month.  Only 2.03" MTD, which isn't horrible, by any means, but it's not making any progress into the deficit.  Hopefully my time will come.

Greensboro just ended a 12-days straight streak of 90-100 degree temperatures, which is remarkably long for the Triad, especially over the last decade.

On pace to rival records for most # of days at or above x temperature as well

 I’ve exceeded 2” over the last hour, heaviest hourly rate of the summer so far, but it’s lightened up quite a bit although it hasn’t stopped. Drainage projects areas have both held up well so far and the street isn’t as bad as it had been before the nearby ditch was redug.
