NorthHillsWx Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 We haven’t had a meaningful rain since June 4 (a brief but heavy shower). Looks extremely dry here through the week now. I think this is going to be our first month below 1/2” total since I have lived here. Add on the brutal heatwave and this is turning into a serious drought situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Low this morning of 79. Heavy cloud cover has kept temps from ballooning this morning but sun just came out. Expect temps to respond in kind. Going to be a long hot summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 We have ended up with .32" from 3 different rainfalls today with the biggest being .16". That ends our streak of dry weather. Areas to the east and west of me got much more rain. High temp was 94 with a real feel of 111 before the clouds moved in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occluded Front Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Topped at 100F Tuesday and was the 16th day of no rain. I absolutely despise summer months and today Wednesday is forecast to be the hottest in this wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 RDU is over 100. We are nipping at it here. 99.7, hottest reading of the year EDIT: we have cracked 100 for the first time this year imby. 100.2 at the moment. May still be ticking up. Please make it stop. This is the most brutal summer I can remember for it being only June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Check this out for something fascinating at Augusta, GA (Bush): -noon was 93 with a dewpoint of 76 on a SE wind at 9 -1PM was 99 with a dewpoint way down at 58 on a SW wind at 13 gusting to 22!! That’s a heck of a boundary, a dry line of sorts that went through Augusta last hour! And it came in on SW winds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantom X Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 101.7 high here today. It's days like these that I question the accuracy. But it's the highest reading since I got the station in 2019. I use an ambient ws-2902 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's the highest reading since I got the station in 2019. I use an ambient ws-2901. It’s the first time I’ve recorded triple digits imby since I have had a station (~5 years). I have an ambient ws-2902. My station is away from concrete and in the open sun 80+ % of the day so I think it’s in an optimal spot for maximum temp readings 100.2 was the max for the day. It was above 100 for less than 15 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsman Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Trace of rain this morning, didn't even register on the station. Only enough to move the dust/dirt around and increase the humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Got .06 overnight, first rain in nearly 3 weeks. More could be on the way today, but the overcast seems to be keeping it too stable. The radar to the west showing mostly drizzle and light rain. We all need steady downpours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
