wxdude64 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Another 1.32 yesterday, turning into quite a wet June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Another 1.32 yesterday, turning into quite a wet June! During 2012 at DCA, we had a yearly precipitation deficit after each day of the year, and that continued this year until yesterday. Now, we have a 2013 precipitation surplus of 1.21 inches.

Now, we have a 2013 precipitation surplus of 1.21 inches. I'd have to go do some digging to see what my records are on that front.... I know last year was pretty dry. Anyway, first 10 days of June I have 5.91 inches, 3.60 in last two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, first 10 days of June I have 5.91 inches, 3.60 in last two days. Your June precipitation so far is almost equal to DCA's of 5.84 inches. Last year at DCA, total precipitation was 32.45 inches, a deficit of 7.26 inches relative to the 1981-2010 normal, with only September and October above that normal. This year started the same way, with a precipitation deficit in each of the first five months, albeit a lesser overall deficit than for the first five months of 2012 -- 3.38 inches this year compared to 5.22 inches last year. So, prior to this month, 15 of the past 17 months had been below normal precipitation at DCA. That trend has now ended with a thud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Feb, Mar and April (by a smidge) below. May and early June WAY above. Last year I had 39.80 inches, so much more than DCA, but still short of my 41.20 average. Had a wet late winter and spring 2012 with Feb, Mar (by just a little) and April above, then Aug and Sept also above, rest below. 2011 I had 46.23 inches. 2010 I had 41.95 inches. But we may be getting slight OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Muggy out there today but not too terrible. Quite comfortable when I left work a little while ago. Mostly cloudy, upper 70s and some humidity = awesome summer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Muggy out there today but not too terrible. Agreed. Took the day off today and just finished mowing the lawn. It could be a lot, lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Agreed. Took the day off today and just finished mowing the lawn. It could be a lot, lot worse. I also just finished cutting the grass. It could have been worse but it had me sweating so it must still be kind of humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 You took a day off of copy/pasting to mow? Had to send the mouse to IT for a tune up. Figured I could get stuff done around here instead of twiddling my thumbs at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 My garden is loving this weather, hopefully the tomatoes will kick into overdrive shortly. My tomatoes are looking better now (finally getting flowers on all of them), but the peppers have been miserable. Those cool days in May stunted them and they're taking a while to get going.

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 79F for the high today. A bit humid, but pretty good for mid-June. Interesting reading all the rain OBS from you guys. Sitting on 2.5" for the month out here. That's a very healthy total until you consider the pattern. Not that I want flooding rains, but it's curious how we keep missing the heavy rains out here.

Sparky Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Last summer was the best summer for tstorms and reliable rainfall. The only summer in recent memory when my lawn was green from wire to wire. Thundestorms once a week or better made that possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundestorms once a week or better made that possible. The storms were kind of spotty though...at last from my perspective. I couldn't tell you how many times other areas got nice soaking rains while I was high and dry. Went on like that for weeks on end. Seems like rains are a bit more widespread this year.
