It was like that Obi-wan Kenobi quote where it must have felt "a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of mice suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced." I managed to make it to 88 yesterday as a high and so far got to 91 today, where it wasn't as oppressive as yesterday. Enjoyed an amazing cloud-free blue sky earlier this morning to boot. The puffy cumulus did reappear not long after and it's currently 90 and slowly falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I ended up getting 0.3" of rain between 11 pm and 1 am (0.21" + 0.09" respectively, at one point with 3/4"/hr rates). So my monthly total is now up to 7.31". Had been watching the front pushing the scattered cells this way before I went to bed and figured I might get hit by some, although I'm surprised they didn't fizzle before getting here. (image below from when the last batch was exiting) It was also relatively "cool" this morning with a low of 69 (had the same yesterday morning). Currently mostly sunny and 78. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Picked up .20" overnight. Despite all the recent rain, the ground is not soggy and my sump pump wells are dry. I'm sure there was a lot of run off on Friday, but just goes to show how dry it's been -- the lawn soaked up the rain like a sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Ran some errands this morning and it was a nice, not-too-hot summer day. Humidity has stayed low (dews in the 50s) and only got up to 83 as a high. I even heard my 1st cicada here just as I was coming back from the store and into the house (had already heard one at my Upper Darby sis's house back on July 4). Currently 80 and partly cloudy, knowing there is an incoming furnace. Will be making some batches of frozen margaritas for the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemwinder Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Heard my first katydid tonight. Yakking in the tree outside my Apartment. Seems a bit early for them, but the times are crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Summers never to seem to fail w/ multiple heat waves while Winters can fail quite easily w/cold snaps and above snow amounts. Frustrating...this upcoming weekend/week will suck. 70F / DP 67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't usually overlap with lightning bugs much, but those guys are still at it, although winding down a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going comet hunting tonight and tomorrow (clear skies permitting), I’ll keep my ears open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually don't hear any until late in the month. Likely the last week.

(That's when I remember starting to hear them) I would imagine after this upcoming hot/humid period they'll start coming out little by little. 81F/ DP 73 (muggy) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
