If it’s under reporting just unscrew the set screws a bit to raise them. Maybe a 1/4 turn or something at a time and keep comparing. Just do both sides the same.
Busting up here. 0.30” so far and another heavy batch to go so we’ll take whatever we can get, but 1-2” isn’t happening. That’ll be CON-south where there’s already over an inch. S NH be stealin my rain now.
Yeah I never really bought it. The warmest min that month was 93F and they had 4 straight lows of 85F during that 130-134F stretch. That's like 45-50F ranges. Nowadays during record heat the mins are usually 95-100F. So I'd argue that these recent 130F readings are their warmest temps ever. It probably gets a hair warmer somewhere in Badwater Basin though.
Everything will probably come together one of these days like it did for Portland and Seattle the end of June...breaking all-time heat records like it’s nbd.
That happened to me with a liberty apple tree in one of those big October rain/wind storms a few years ago. There was nothing left to the root ball. I ended up ditching it, but it was dormant so it may have survived as a bare root.
Those ORH numbers from the early 20th century were from the previous lower elevation site...not exactly a good station to "thread" in with the current ORH.
