The deer flies and mosquitoes were a problem in June but have really been cut back with the dry conditions. Actually enjoyed dinner outside on the patio for the first time this summer and had no issues. Perfect weather with a light sea breeze too.
Nice winds in that warned cell earlier but nothing crazy. Finishing June with 4.15" with some measurable on 14 days this month even though it felt much drier.
No problem getting some yard work done in this weather. Overcast, breezy and in the 60s. The heat will be back but it almost feels like we've had our highest temp of the year already.
First heat wave in the books, maxed at 97F today. Some lightning and rain this evening but nothing significant. Picked up .2 for the garden so that's good.
So now when there's a favorable model run and say, "I ran that out of my basement", it'll actually be true...

3rd day in a row dropped into the 20s...seems like that's hard to do this time of year. Ready for some real warmth but may have to wait until the solstice. Maybe if we can get into +NAO springs for a while we'll have a better chance of returning to "normal" winters.
