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!  

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!
 

Been my mantra for over a decade

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

Yeah nothing abnormal.  We’ve seen a few up here.

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 

Beautiful sea breeze but cloudy. Pool feels fantastic

That's a great idea. Do it in September or October.

This camp?

yep-another year to go here...crazy how fast it all goes

Although I probably have driven through most of New England during my heavy youth skiing days. I have been exploring every time I can. Honestly think we are in the most beautiful varied place on the East coast with the best 4 seasons anywhere

Did you attend as a young boy/camper/scout?

Nope I grew up down there and partied at the camp off season. Gorgeous huge property

The beaches maybe. Not that part of 

Happens to married people with kids. Once they grow up extend your wings and visit all of New England. You are missing perhaps one of the best places to live in New England. Beautiful forests hills lakes rivers and in 7 minutes playing in a fantastic ocean

6.09” just this morning in Yawgoog ,RI that no one has ever heard of ( even people that live there)

If you were a boy scout you know the largest boy scout camp in New England is in Yawgoog.

There's about 3 ppl that live there. That was the area Ginxy was yelling at the NWS about back in 2010 when there was a flood. Remember the Pawcatuck!

You do realize that area population swells in the summer just like the Cape. You have zero clue. That happens to people who go to the exact same safe places for vacation year after year. I guarantee you have never been there. 

Not sad to be slotted
