wxdude64 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Beautiful evening, clear skies, temp down to 61 and DP right at 50 with a NW wind blowing 15 mph. Looking forward to low 50's when I get off work in am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Well, after 7 years of service on the top of my roof. I am retiring my Original Davis Vantage Pro station. It's rain gauge is off by 15%+, the humidity never gets over 96% anymore, the wind direction sensor is off by 60° even when calibrated and the transmission range has decreased so significantly that I need a makeshift antenna for it to reach the computer that stores and sends the data to the internet. I would replace it part by part but it is no longer supported by Davis Instruments and spare parts are very hard to find or all gone. Time to go Davis VP1. Hello Davis Vantage Pro 2 with 24 hr fan aspirated radiation shield. More solar panel power, longer transmission range, more accurate temp/dp readings even during full sunshine with no wind and a proper shelf for my solar radiation sensor. Perhaps a retirement dinner?

mappy Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 JT, ill need a recommendation for a good station to purchase. We are buying a house so I'll actually have a yard to put one in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have 24hr FARS, but I'm sure it probably makes a big difference in temp/humidity readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Very dry out there. If it wasn't for the copious amounts of rain we have received of late I would be worried about brush fires on a day like today. My throat gets dry if I spend too long outside on days with such low dews so I will be sure to take a water bottle with me at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to add a little salt to the water so that it doesn't freeze solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Water freezes at 32 degrees Farenheit. It is about 45 degrees too warm today, but thanks for the concern. Be sure to add a little salt to the water so that it doesn't freeze solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately in this area at this time of year we have to have the bad with the good. Revel in the good and hope you're not the house with 7 trees through the roof!

snowfan Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Without looking at any official numbers.....if the long range holds true and we make it to July 1 without any more 90+ days, many of us will make it to July 1 with no more than 5 90+ days this year. I can't remember the last time we made it so far into summer with that few a number of days at or above 90. I don't think we've had more than 1 morning where it was really uncomfortable first thing in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Currently running below normal for the month in Winchester. If we hold it, it'll be 7 of the past 10. Be hard though. June normal highs aren't that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 You are definitely correct in stating that the last few years have messed with people. your average high/low right now is around 83/62.....June really isn't that warm a month, particularly the 1st half.......BWI is +2 for the month....the last 3 summers really messed with people....June can be quite nice....July is vile 80% of the time, but June is a nice month....even last year it was nice until the death wave at the end....
