Paleocene Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Very dry in Silver Spring. The lawn is still green from the late september wet period + weak October sun, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 It's dry but I'm not mad. If we're going to drought we might as well enjoy it. My local hiking trails are in beautiful condition beside dusty. This feel like a normal fall besides the drought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRanger Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 74 after a 41 min here, which translates at BWI to 78 after a min of 12. Two weeks of rain each day, followed by two weeks of near-cloudless skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormy Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 37. 1 this morning. I was below freezing for 6 consecutive nights before the streak broke yesterday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrlg1181 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Very unique pattern, can't recall something like this... Essentially no meaningful rain from middle of spring to early August here, hence the crippling drought - followed by raging floodwaters from Debby... Then no rain for 3 weeks , then no rain first 2 weeks of Sept followed by 2 weeks of non stop flooding averaging about a inch per day... Now making a run at 4 weeks without any precip... Not a heck of alot of rainy days this year here , but well into the 40s inch totals so far... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is a Niña induced blip or if another switch flipped and now it’s going to start raining less like how it’s now snowing less?

I think periods of heavy rainfall and periods of drought are only going to get more extreme. Longer droughts, and more severe flooding when it does rain. by the way, I got to 82 today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 At least on even the warm days the temp can fall pretty fast (unlike during peak sun angle summer). 82 for the high here but already dropped back to 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a 16-18% increase in annual precip at IAD since 1962. But the variance is probably also increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 There was a legit flea/mosquito swarm yesterday at one of the courts I play at. Was actually in the middle of a training session (one of the parents nearby wanted me to get their kid ready for rec league) and we had to end it early. Got bit several times (I'm a mosquito magnet, so that part wasn't surprising), but definitely did not expect that in late October and with it being so dry lately. It did look like they recently mowed the park, so maybe that had something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think December is when mosquito activity dies down unless Thanksgiving gets cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I think it was just surprising how they came out of the woodwork. The court I go to does have bugs on occasion, but nothing like yesterday. I literally received like 5-6 new bites in about 30 mins…and probably more. I could see them on me. Is it gonna snow soon?? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got back from my afternoon bike ride and all week I've noticed nothing but clear blue skies. I don't think I've ever experienced this before.
