July 2024 Observations and Discussion

I will say the relative lack of rain has been great for keeping the mosquitos down.  My neighborhood has been mostly mosquito and deer fly free the past 2 weeks.  Could be the healthy bat population helping with that.  I also have not seen a tick in weeks.

If only summehs weren't so muggy and wet, sure. there’s been a lot of indoor time lately which isn’t any better than a rainy winter. 

This summer hasnt been wet or rainy at all. Couple days of a storm or morning showers . Other than that it’s been very sunny and dewy

You’ve had a couple more big storms sure but there’s been a ton of sunny HHH days there too. Last summer was wet with daily storms and lots of clouds. This year thus far has not been a wet summer

Seems pretty well documented on here that DAW runs a tick or so warm.  No biggie but something to keep in mind when using it.

Is there any site that folks think is accurate? Seems to me I hear complaints about all .

I’m good. 
 

MHT ensuring this streak gets the recognition it deserves.

Really?  There are like 30+ ASOS in the region and we only hear about like 3 of them.  

No one talks about all the ones that are fine.

I hear complaints about Dover, BDL, Worcester, Providence, Norwood, Boston.

We’ve been following the temps at these sites for decades. It’s pretty easy to pick one out when they fall out of line with their normal tendencies. DAW was rarely a daily hot spot in the region going back to when the ASOS was commissioned. Now they’re doing it almost day.

I still feel like it’s usually siting changes and not sensor error that most of these sites are experiencing.

Just because someone questions something to me doesn’t mean it’s a complaint.

DAW and BDL are the main ones… BDL siting issues.  But still, out of like 40 stations in New England that’s maybe 6 that at one point someone might have mentioned?

BOS doesn’t seem questioned, it’s just the siting on the water.

I don’t know, I read the forum just like you and I don’t get that opinion that every site is wrong.  Most of it seems justified when Dendrite and Coastal discuss.

Yeah, it’s easy to spot if a station changes its long term “pecking order”… that’s what causes the questions.

But there’s still the vast majority of stations that never get mentioned or questioned.

The vast majority of stations are not mentioned nearly as frequently as the large six or 10.

Not much difference between a siting issue or an equipment issue. In the end people are going to say it's wrong.

In some cases, it matters. For instance, when Logan was off the rails, they were reporting like 2 in./h. Snow at 34F. Or freezing rain was occurring at 34F. It was clearly off. And what really got me triggered was when they reported 1/4SM visibility in a fog but the temperature of like 40/37. That’s pretty much impossible.

Maybe that’s why they are scrutinized?

All I know is most of the time when Dendy or Scoots  or Will calls them out over the years they are usually right.
