    It was near 70 at the time of your post. 

    Some know what the next hour would be. Very very typical down here in the morning until the marine layer retreat. I can see for miles and miles...Men in suits taking Chamber photos for next years calendar. Watching my pool temp drop every day now. The beginning of the end of a fantastic summer. Only 8 90 degree days and a ton of COC days.

    For all of you dew lovers out there, go to the cornfields of the midwest during a heatwave and experience corn sweat, Heat Index 120+ with dews mid 80's.  

     

    I did soil sampling for my Internship with USDA and know exactly what you mean. Mid August is no joke near the coast for high 90s over upper 70s in corn fields 8 foot tall. Lol I did get lost for an hour in a 100 acre field once. Came out as sticky as cotton candy from the heat and corn.

    Local STEIN SHIELD, like the local WEYMOUTH SHIELD!  :D

    I know it is more long-term, but is it?  PVD is only -0.67" Y-T-D.  CON -0.55 Y-T-D and ORH +1.24.  Yes, BOS is a "hole" but that is quite local and it we know it is low by about 2" due to bad LEQ from the big S+ events this winter.  |

    At what point does long-term drought "go away" as a weight for considering drought?  It is not defined anywhere I can find.

    A *lot* of decisions about land and water management are made from the drought monitor, so it needs to reflect actual conditions accurately!

    Back in the day, the Crop Moisture and Palmer Drought Severity Index were used and IMHO, these are better.  They parse things out instead of one lumped categorical map.  See attachments for current conditions.   I don't see any drought/dry issues in New England!

    There’s a large maple down the road here that gets 1/2 color in July and loses most of its leaves by the end of August.

    Our swamp maples are changing by the end of the month a good month before anything else. Last night was the first night I really noticed the night being earlier. Mornings were lost last week

    That's not stress though. Oh definitely on the downswing due to light differences. Buds are swollen with lots of white hairs too always a early sign to remind us of a not to far off seasonal change
