Nice temps, but it requires accepting a breeze and mountain clouds. It’s funny…places to the east/se have gotten more rain and they get less in the way of mountain debris clouds. They may have gotten more snow the last 2 winters, too lol.

I’m ready for El Niño to restore atmospheric order.

Yeah, it's doing a great job so far.  Prepare yourself for another season of coastal scrapers.

Now over the last 3 days the dryness has really began to show in nearby lawns and small gardens down here... Only 0.89 of precip in my backyard since July 20th... Hottest period of summer has turned out to be the driest period of a overall super dry year...

Pretty majestic finish to the day. Decided to bike over at Schaeffer and the trails were certainly of the dry status.

Meanwhile, the desert sw is getting gully washers. The west coast continues to overperform in the “interesting” weather category as they did last winter as well.

Well I found this from a 1996 FWS report...

"The growing (frost free) season averages about 90 days in length. The 
average date of the last freeze is June 1 and the average date of the first frost 
is August 30. Frost can occur on the Valley floor during any month. On the 
average, one out of six Julys will experience a temperature of freezing or 
below. The growing season is too short for most-crops and is about the same 
as Fairbanks, Alaska."

I think this was written before the VaTech station was installed,  but not sure. It doesn't appear to mention first freeze either.
