Nah, nothing like 94/72. The big prolonged heat is done.

It had to end sometime right? Although August will be 18 in a row.

Normal is being re~written another above normal month coming up region wide, morning lows or afternoon highs who gives a ratz azz. Above normal is above normal and the dog days are almost here.

Dog days is actually a term that is based on the location of Sirius (aka the dog star) in the sky (well, sort of...things have changed in the last 2000 years)

The Romans referred to the dog days as diēs caniculārēs and associated the hot weather with the star Sirius. They considered Sirius to be the "Dog Star" because it is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog). Sirius is also the brightest star in the night sky. The term "Dog Days" was used earlier by the Greeks (see, e.g., Aristotle's Physics, 199a2).

The Dog Days originally were the days when Sirius rose just before or at the same time as sunrise (heliacal rising), which is no longer true, owing to precession of the equinoxes. The Romans sacrificed a brown dog at the beginning of the Dog Days to appease the rage of Sirius, believing that the star was the cause of the hot, sultry weather.

Dog Days were popularly believed to be an evil time "the Sea boiled, the Wine turned sour, Dogs grew mad, and all other creatures became languid; causing to man, among other diseases, burning fevers, hysterics, and phrensies." according to Brady’s Clavis Calendaria, 1813.[1]

The modern French term for both this summer period (and for heat waves in general) "canicule", derives from this same term. It means "little dog", again referring to Sirius.

69/66 - Heavy Rain

Rainfall rate currently 1.50/hr

.25 in the last 10 minutes.

Seems there might be train of these heavier showers setting up along the immediate SE CT and SW RI coast. Heavy rains how back towards New London with a general very slow movement off to the E - maybe ESE.

Nice SW tracked down through the Berks across CT. The meso circulation is very evident on radar.
