Finished with about 1.83” of rain here yesterday, about 7 times more than what previously fell this May.

Picked up 0.22” since noon, 1.3” overall for today

Picked up 1.04” of rain so far today (as of 12 pm)

14/5/3

You need a jacket for low 80s?!

Cirrus clouds at sunset

1.93” of rain over the past few days here 0.08” Friday night 1.68” yesterday and 0.17” today

Slowest line I’ve ever seen in my life.

Central Park higher than LGA, now that’s something we don’t see too often anymore, probably a product of the trees not being leafed out yet

Up until I’m reminded that all the bees and wasps are waking up, I don’t hate them, because they’re good for the environment, but I still have an irrational fear of them. It’s weird because I’m fine with any other bugs.

High of 83 here, very summery out, I wish the air conditioner was in my window though

We would probably hit like 105 if dews were that low and departures were the same lol

High bust for temps here today, got up to 76 Montauk is only 56 at the moment

I wonder if it has anything to do with our climate becoming more like the DC/MD/VA area in the last decade, I know tornadoes aren’t exactly uncommon around there

Yeah my grandmother lost the tree in front of her house that survived Sandy, Irene, Gloria etc. It luckily missed the house by like a foot but ripped off the gutter and power lines attached to the house

Back in 2021 I was working at the Home Depot in Jericho for a summer job between semesters and the store got hit by lightning. The thunder was so loud it literally felt like a mini earthquake, knocked out power to the store too.

That was probably the best summer in my life for severe storms (I’m only 23 though). I saw hail 2 times (twice in one day) that summer after never having seen it before in my life. In late August my neighborhood got hit by a downburst that produced Sandy level damage around here. There was also another storm in late june that produced hurricane force gusts out in central suffolk, I was on the beach fishing that day and got absolutely sandblasted from the gust front out ahead of that storm even though it missed to the east.

Yeah that area and the region around Albany and west Mass usually get good storms every year

Summer of 2019 I believe had some strong storms out here

And that’s even with the newer 1991-2020 averages, we still can rarely manage a below normal month

Long Island is still abnormally dry from last summers drought, hopefully we don’t get a repeat of that

I feel like the biggest example of this would be when Suffolk got 20”+ in both Juno (Jan 2015) and Jonas (Jan 2016). I think this was the only county/region that got crushed by both storms

I saw someone on twitter report that there was up to 10” there but I wouldn’t trust anything twitter weenies say…

There is some good banding going over them right now so they can probably add another inch or 2, but still, that’s a decent sized bust for them

0.5” here which brings me to 3.7” on the season. I’m pretty sure that I got this years seasonal total within an hour during the blizzard last year lol
