Quietly picked up another .25 this morning...now up to 3.6 MTD. Gulf of ME probably knocked down those cells by the time they got here. 64/59 beautiful morning.
I was curious. Through the end of June at Concord...

Certainly comparable though '38 was wetter. July and August of '38 added 10 more inches at Concord and 15 more at Blue Hill. That's a lot of rain.
Already more rain in July (1.77) than all of June (1.52). Pattern having an identity crisis. July will probably blow on average and August will be perfect.
Pretty meh with the storms here today. Only 0.19 so far. Nice to have the rain and cool down though. Past three days, strangely enough, all came in at 97.3F exactly...Mon, Tues and Wednesday. Weird.
Many times I'll see reds and oranges approaching from Manchester/Concord and think, hey, looks good. Then they get close and fizzle out, or better yet, split off into southern ME and NE MA. I think our better storm time is mid-July into August.
Very sad news. Seemed like a genuinely good soul. I was always envious of his location out there on the elbow getting into some nice storms. RIP James.
Dryness keeping the mosquitoes from going wild right now which is fine by me. Unfortunately, this won't last forever. High of 69 today with the ocean influence.
Classic nor'easters have been scarce past few years. Another sub-par winter here...43 inches on the season. I have doubts about the May bomb on the GFS but would be a fitting start to warm season...we'll end up locking this in for the entire summer:
