Arent we using like actual sample sizes? Not two weeks? Those maps look fine to me. Drought sample size isn’t two weeks. You don't think an inch and a half of rain makes a big difference compared to areas that received a few tenths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering some spots haven't had 1.5" going back to June I'd say yeah, a local high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain has been just like the snow here....misses to the north and south. Have you noticed how much the climate of Methuen has changed since you moved to Methuen???

dendrite Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Kev's area hasn't been too bad over the last 45 days. It's more E CT into RI and Scoot to the Cape while TAN has had that local max. The Cape has been a desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better representation for me is easton or Raynham. I literally couldn’t be any further from the Taunton site. It’s 10+ miles from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it a local max or whatever, it’s still significantly less than Tolland over a sample size longer than 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall much of that was in the first 20 days or so. .41 thus far in Aug. I’m in the NW portion of town closer to Vernon and Ellington . So 3.23” in last 45 days and most of it prior to July 20th . I’m not exactly sure where that station is on that map , but it’s either far NE part of town or Willington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Local PWS to me has 0.53” for Aug so far and 2.63” for July. I think both are a little low. They recorded 0.0” yesterday when I had around 0.15” in a localized downpour. This has happened a couple of times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, People have gotten real defensive over their drought… you almost wonder if folks wish they didn’t get some downpours so the numbers look “cleaner.” I also don’t get the “but it was convective and happened fast so throw it out.” That’s how summer precip is.

And then a rogue pencil thin deform band gets only you for 14” on March 20th that melted two days later and the whole forum is telling you your winter was fine now and you will not stand for that.

Hoth Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Is there anywhere in the northern hemisphere that is not in a brutal drought? I keep reading about the dire one out west, and the rivers in Germany getting too low to allow barge traffic, and the Yangtze plunging and so forth. Seems like hot and dry is the general rule this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
