Hurricane Agnes Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 My low this morning managed to get to 70, but at some point with a dp of 62. Big difference from dps in the upper 70s. Currently 76 and sunny with some scattered clouds, and a dp of 64. Really nice out for a late July summer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had a couple of them living on the deck railing at that time after never having observed them. I had put a water bowl in an old unused open style wooden bird feeder and the frog stayed around for maybe a month. Very strange. Could it be a "beneficial" Chinese invasive species for a change?

I did a little research, they seem to be native to the US east coast and se Canada. Couldn't find anything about a big migration or population explosion or anything like that, so for now it's a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Through 1st 18 days of July this is the 11th warmest (75.1 avg. temp) start to July in Western Chesco with the top 5 being 78.3 (1988) / 76.7 (2012) / 76.6 (2013) / 76.5 (1994) / 76.1 (2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently a hazy (wildfire smoke?) 80, with dp 68. I know there is an Air Quality Alert up for the area for tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicadas jamming today as well... 80F / DP 64F Been hearing katydids in the nearby woods for several days. Tree frogs are silent tonight. Saw a tiny one trying to climb outside wall, thinking that it's a tree no doubt. Cicadas are around, but not noisy. Maybe this will be a quieter year, after their more numerous cousins had the stage here. Waxing moon is appearing spooky in tonight's sky, due to the fires out west, perhaps. Gonna be a good night for sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Low this morning was 71 and I expect to maybe get closer to 90 today depending on what the wildfire haze does... Currently sunny with some haze and 74, with dp 67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Day 2 of 4 of working outside this week. Yesterday was hot but tolerable; today was hotter with less breeze but at least the sun wasn't too harsh (due to clouds and all that smoke). I think we got up to 88 at work (with a forecast high of 92). Looking forward to possible afternoon boomers tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 The setting sun is a big orange ball, due to the smoke no doubt. Pretty cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
