Looks like MWN will top out at 71.1F Almost to the record but high anvil cirrus is overhead so temp is way down to 67F

Big anvil blowing up to my south. Going to hit Concord NH

Installed our solar last Thursday. 3 window ACs going and it is still exporting Kwh to the grid right now

MWN 70.6F All time record is 72F

90.2/73 Never made it to 90F last summer. Towering Cu all quads. High cirrus from earlier storms going over and south of me which will slow upward temps in S NH if they don't evaporate first

9am 80/75 We had a nice .14" shower early last evening. I assume the moisture is evaporating out to create my excessive dew? Very rare for me to break 90F. 100% sunshine and solar max may do it today

Yesterday morning at 2:45am you could see daylight on the ENE horizon on top of the Rock Pile.

Our below ground basement is always very cool. We have a large floor vent leading up to our living room. I positioned a fan near the cellar floor and cold air blows up and does a good job of keeping the house cooler. It works best this time of year as the soils warm up later in the season thus not as much as a temperature difference.

Wow.

Alex, frost advisory for Northern Maine. Let us know where you bottom out. Your homestead is the real deal for radiation cooling.

Seriously COC day 68/45 few Cu. I was watching the MWN webcam. 35F Wind 40 gusting to 52. So many tourists up there and they all look freezing to death. Missed the rain yesterday. Just .04"ish our lawn still looks good but that is about to change with all the dryness. Just in time for the heatwave, we got our new solar system online yesterday. Now we can run all 3 AC units and I can charge my Mustang Mache all from solar. We could have put the array on our south roof exposure, but it would have looked like crap. For this 229-year-old house it is all about aesthetics. Next week a "skirt" will go around the panels so it should look even better. I think it blends in nicely.

Nice soak earlier. About .60". Heavy showers passing overhead now with the first distant rumble of thunder of the season.

I have not posted in some time. Not much weather going on. Other than .05" of rain yesterday morning we have not had any rain since May 27th. Pollen is coating everything. We have also not had even one clap of thunder this season. Hopefully the showers/storms will hold together long enough to give us some rain this evening. Things are getting very dry. On a totally different subject, I have missed a northward facing webcam on the summit of Mt Washington. I called them last winter and told them I would give them a donation to buy a new cam. To do so they had to build an outside enclosure and also put in a new window. So it was a pretty big job. Others chipped in too. The camera is now live. https://mountwashington.org/weather-cams/north-view/

While SNE gets rain it is getting very dry up here. Just swirling green pollen covering everything. I wish I could score a 5 minute rinsing shower.

We are at around 75% greenup and the pollen has really started to get bad the last few days. I hope we get a couple of nice T storms to knock it back down.

Nice eyewall. What a great display up here. I am so angry at myself. I was down at Newfound Lake watching the lights reflecting off of the still water of the lake. I have a new drone. I could have flown it and captured the whole lake reflecting off of the colored pillars in the sky. Didn't think of it before it was too late. Perhaps one more shot of NL tonight. Not as brilliant but should see something to the north if this last CME hits at the right time. Moon is getting brighter but hopefully skies will clear. Want to get that $$ shot that I missed the other night.

I just looked at the KP index on spaceweather.com It had been around 7 most of the day but up to 9 right now. About 75% cloudy up here. I would assume they would be further poleward tonight. I will be able to tell pretty quickly if they are visible by 945pm. My plan is to fly the drone and try to get an aerial view over the lake.

I think those higher clouds to the west of us are going to muck up any chance of viewing tonight. If the CME's keep coming perhaps tomorrow night might work better? The moon is starting to get brighter. It sets around midnight. Last night if I had thought fast enough I would have launched my drone and could have got a great picture of the NL over Newfound Lake.

As I'm sure you guys know, besides weather I like photography and space weather events. With the new world of AI it is very hard to know what is "real" to the eye and what has been enhanced or altered. Most of the Aurora photos on the net are slight time exposures or have been brightened or saturated to some degree. One of the biggest questions I see is "did it look like that from the naked eye?" Last night was amazing if you live in a very dark area like I do in Bridgewater NH. The picture I am attaching is unaltered in any way. It is what my Samsung Galaxy S23Ultra saw. Automatic setting by the camera, no adjustment at all by me. Pretty amazing for 1/4second exposure on a cellphone

Looks like high clouds come in after dark. Maybe Sunday night will be better weather wise?

Up here in central New Hampshire I can say that the picture that your commenting on is just how it looked with the naked eye. These were definitely bright and stood out. Clouds now filled in maybe we can get another one in tomorrow night

Potential views into S US states

Crazy beautiful. Rivals a total solar eclipse. Best show of my life. Here are 2 pictures from the house. Samsung 23 ultra. Holding by hand 1 second exposure no post processing! So many colors and curtains that change minute by minute

WOW!!!! Extremely bright with naked eye overhead even to my South curtains of color

WOW!!!!
