There’s calibration screws on each side. I forget how much of a turn you have to make to equal X hundredths of an inch. But anyway, unscrewing them raises them which in turns means less water is needed to tip the tipper. So that’s the direction you’d want to go to make it read more. What I did was just turn each side the same amount (like a half turn) and keep the stratus gauge near it and wait for a couple of larger rain events to see how much it changed and how much more I needed. Of course make sure the gauge is perfectly level in every direction before making cal screw changes. I think they have a bubble level on them now.

I should've stalked your Davis and calibrated it for you while you stalked Eek.

The 1991-2020 normals should be nice and toasty with abundant snow. A bounce back would probably make the 2020s look like the 80s....cold and dry.

You really can't see the difference there between 1955-2005 and 2005-present?....aka the BDL years.

Hey...I wish we could trend colder again, but it is what it is. I agree that the mins are worse though. We're kinda beating a dead horse though. We all know we've been warming for decades.

lol...yeah. Just a little bit of a site change for ORH in the 1940s. 7/4/1911 ORH has 102F and BOS 104F. The BOS 103F in 2011 got ORH a 97F.

This one is for PF

They didn't have just Windsor Locks as an option. And it doesn't change my point anyway. Feel free to eyeball the data since 1948...it's still been a torchfest since the late 90s.

Tough stretch to be an ACATT weenie.

If you want legit severe you apparently need to go to ski country or the Cape.

Nice warm day. Dews mixed out nicely over the interior. It's really not that bad out at all...pretty much U80s here. 86.1F max on the Davis.

Overwatered maybe?

Humid, but nothing like a week ago. Nice day to be by the water.

GEFS staying the course.

Low 61 A little muggier today, but not too bad. Typical hot summer day...perfect for the weekend.

Dew quake?

Other than last weekend the humidity has been fairly tame so far for summer. It’ll get muggier to start the work week, but we’ll bring them back down after Wednesday. Then we’ll see how that d10-15 trough shakes out. Trough axis may be just a bit west of us.

Pretty comfy dews in RI this afternoon. You would think the torch lovers would tolerate low 60 dews better.

Perfect summer day with comfy dews. A little higher in CT, but temps are lower there.

July Mean Temps Year BDL HFD BDL-HFD 2001 69.7 70.8 -1.1 2002 75.1 75.5 -0.4 2003 73.2 73.3 -0.1 2004 72.0 73.0 -1.0 2005 74.5 75.1 -0.6 2006 76.5 76.7 -0.2 2007 73.4 73.9 -0.5 2008 75.5 75.8 -0.3 2009 70.2 71.9 -1.7 2010 77.1 78.8 -1.7 2011 76.0 77.6 -1.6 2012 76.2 76.7 -0.5 2013 77.9 78.6 -0.7 2014 74.5 74.0 +0.5 (HFD estimate) 2015 73.9 74.8 -0.9 2016 76.4 78.7 -2.3 2017 72.9 73.8 -0.9 2018 76.1 76.6 -0.5 2019 77.7 77.4 +0.3 (HFD estimate) HFD had 2 missing days for this month so I plugged the BDL values in for an estimate. I did the same thing for the missing day in 2014. Anyway, when Steve ran the numbers the much lower mean for HFD compared to BDL stood out to me. Now that I know HFD was missing data it looks closer than it originally did. I forget if 2014 was the previous year where we kept bitching about the BDL temps, but historically, BDL has almost always run cooler than HFD for July.

We've had a few incidents of poor maintenance around ASOS sites...like CON dumping rocks around the ASOS.

Cool...I’ll use HFD, ORH, and PVD.

Well I’m tossing any BDL or BOS number. I don’t remember what you said or what I said. I’ll go +1 to +2.
