Yep, wife was living in Orange County when we met. I got to experience the 'June gloom' a few times.

Well, I let this month's report slip thru the cracks! Could have sworn I stuck this in earlier. My numbers for May 2025. Averaged high was 71.2 degrees vs a normal of 73.6 degrees, -2.4 degrees below average. The warmest day was the 2nd with an 84.0 degree reading. Averaged low was 49.4 degrees vs a normal of 48.6 degrees, a +0.8 degrees above average. Coldest temp recorded was 36.8 degrees on the 10th. Overall averaged temp was 60.3 degrees vs a normal of 61.1 degrees, -0.8 degrees below average. Total precip for the month was 7.99 inches vs a normal of 4.30 inches, a +3.69 inches above average and slides into 2nd wettest May on record, just behind 2009's 8.03 inches. The wettest day was the 13th with 2.68 inches falling. There were 19 days with measurable, 2 days with a 'T' and 10 dry days. Highest wind recorded was 41 mph on the 31st. Several new records, new 'cool maxes' set on the 24th, 27th and 28th. New daily rainfalls set on the 4th, 13th and 14th. Overall, a slightly cooler and wetter month than average. Records date back to October 1979.

UGH. 81.4/60.4 here at 1:40 pm. AC is on.

Another chilly night, low was 40.5 degrees, close to a record but no cigar (38 in 1994). Currently up to 44.2/43.0 at 7:30 am. It was pretty hazy/smoky yesterday afternoon and evening but doesn't appear as bad this am.

17/7/3

40.2 for the low, currently 40.8/40.0 with clear skies.

41.0 for the low here this am, currently 67.7/37.9 at 2:30 pm (and high for the day) with hazy overcast (guessing smoke).

That tight little vortex spinning southward in SD is interesting

Well, Happy Birthday to those having one yesterday or today! lol

Only 0.13 fell here from several different showers, some quite gusty in late afternoon. So, I will fall short of the monthly record of 8.03" with 7.99" it appears. I have twigs, limbs and leaves everywhere this am, it will be a clean-up day.

Just scrapped to the north about 45 minutes ago with that bow running from Staunton to Morgantown right now, although little in precip, did get a nice 41 mph gust and a couple more in mid 30's.

Expanded south and west, now the western 2/3's of the forum in a tornado watch.

First round of showers just pushed through, about 1/2 way there....

Sun finally broke thru the fog here! It feels soupy/humid as all get out, blah. Supposed to storm later. I am 0.17" from setting a new monthly rainfall record.

Currently 57.6/56.0 here. The sun poked thru around 5 pm and we rose above 60 around 6 pm for the first time in 70 hours. Crazy for late May. Sitting at 7.60" thru this morning, looks like a tenth or so fell so far today (I say that as I'm watching the radar off to the SW heading this way, maybe some more later) and closing in on the record of 8.03 for the month back in 2009.

Not to be.

Still foggy with a heavy drizzle falling. 1.11 in gauge at 7 am reading, the 52.3 degree high held and set a record as I posted earlier. Currently 50.4/49.6. The 1.11 no where near a daily rainfall, that goes to the 2.27 that fell back in 1981.

Almost an inch here since 7 am. Temp still dropping slowly, currently 49.6/48.3 at 8:30 pm. Looks like we will shatter another 'cool max', high so far 52.3 degrees, record is 64 degrees from 1992.

Honest Abe here!! I'm in shorts and a T-shirt now.

LOL, wife couldn't take it anymore, the furnace was turned on. 65 in the house, she put thermostat on 69. Still a light rain and fog with ENE wind at 6 and 50.2/48.9 outside. About .50 in the gauge eyeballing from the window.

LOL, going the wrong way here, currently down to 50.3/49.5 with rain and fog at 11 am. Almost 2/10's in gauge since 7 am.

Was just coming to comment my yard looks the best it has in years with the cool temps and rain, lol. I reseeded back in early April. Then I read all the comments about going native and letting the yards go. I am almost there myself, have to replant 60-70% of the 'yard' (I live in the woods, only real opening is what I took down to build the house plus about 50 foot all around) about every other year, mostly on the edges and what I have going slightly into the woods. Agree 100% on the moss, N and NE shaded spots that get little sun it grows well!
