Summer Time
July ends on a dry spell, so to speak. Only 0.20" in the last seven days. The two tenths round out the month completing the wettest July in Oshkosh's history. 11.84" were recorded here at OSNW3. More on the record rain in July from the NWS, here. The 6-10 and 8-14 day forecast calls for more above average temperatures and precipitation.
**Addendum : Moister Than Most is a great "top news of the day" entry from the NWS in the Twin Cities. It references the many reasons for the heavy rainfall we have experienced this Summer.

I can hardly believe it's August already. Summer is flying by. It's been noticeably warmer this Summer than last and I am enjoying it. Keep it coming.

OSNW3, That is alot of rain for July. I will gladly share our heat, there is plenty to go around.
ReplyDeleteSuzieE, my want for heat is relative. All I want is max temps to hang in the lower 80's for a couple weeks longer. Today and tomorrow should be real nice up here. Low dewpoints, highs near 80 with lows near 60, maybe even an upper 50. The AC is off for the next 36 hours at least.
ReplyDeleteI was in Muskogee, OK Monday thru Wednesday this week and it was extremely hot down there. I'll take an 85 with high dew points over a 105 with low dew points any time. Temps in the upper 90s and lower 100s are down right miserable.
I hope you are enjoying the Summer thus far.
Enjoy the rain we are lacking it out here. We have those high temps with low dew points running at their maximum currently.
ReplyDeleteGot the new HP up and running without any lose of data from the weather station - I'm happy...
Bob, I am glad the transition to a new computer was successful. I had a server meltdown a few weeks ago. I am 99.9% back up. It's hard to remember everything that was logged after a few years and to recreate that w/o a reminder once it's not there... I'm happy too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference that dew point makes.
I had a dew point of 79° last night (Monday) at 10:00 p.m. Heat index was 99°.
ReplyDeleteWe had a curriculum workshop today at school, and the presenter was a native of WI. Lives an hour north of you. He was dying down here! He says, "your glasses are not supposed to fog up when you go outside". He told me he was happy to be flying home today.
I'm ready for a cool down.
