Usually by Mem DW it's an atonal chorus of shrieking whir out there but I haven't seen a single mosquito. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably more for the tropical thread, but originally I thought the pattern (with a propagating CCKW) would set the EPAC off first. Crickets so far there. I’m not sold yet, but we may be seeing the first signs that the historically warm basin is screwing up how the Atlantic shear profile looks in what we would normally see in a strengthening niño. I mean this isn’t what I’d expect to see for the last half of June into July. Especially not in this ENSO profile. I think the other critical thing that’s being overlooked is that unlike past years—even the active ones—we are seeing far less stability issues and more moisture in the MDR as SAL has been anomalously low when it would be peaking climatologically. That’s a huge red flag to me. This is great stuff...thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In March 2021 we had a 75-foot-tall fir destroyed by a strike just 55 yards from the house, with a 4-foot splinter blown halfway to our place and smaller pieces (plus one 30-footer) scattered around. Ruined the genny-to-panel connection, which we only found out a month later when the lights went out, the generator started as usual but no juice to the house. The strike also cooked the DirecTV cable. Our poor Lab mix was still quivering 45 minutes later despite my near-constant affection and now gets scared by the first distant rumble. It was cloudy and cool today but I thought we might escape without rain I thought wrong. Quick shower while I was in the grocery store. Only .03 but still enough to annoy. The high temp was a summery 57.5°. 58/48 yesterday after 59/53 on Saturday, 7th sub-60 this month, tied with 2015 for most in June. We're 2.3 BN thru yesterday. June '15 at -4.0 is our coolest of 25 and followed our mildest May - only year with June cooler (by 0.3°) than May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean us disc golfers aren't being harassed by those Green Heads on blood recon, either. You gather a couple of them f'n bastards and you own 'em the whole day. They tirelessly fly mobius loops around your head - they're so much fun when you actually swat one with a disc. They're usually pretty bad by late May and we haven't seen any of those, either.

Maine the critters peak in June, usually 1st half. That's for the blood-licking species; there are other species that appear thru Sept (Oct if it's especially mild) that don't bite though they are good at flying into ears/eyes. Exception is north-central Maine, Medway/Mattawamkeag area, where there's species of biting black flies thru most of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look like a June anomaly where it's kind of stuggling ? ya know - this thing demonstratively looks like an apex seasonal bomb is about to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Maybe we'll get some improvement later on today but these temperature stumping pancake skies aren't the most pleasant out of doors.
