The Deluge That Is July 2010

In just ten days OSNW3 has recorded another 5.15" of new rainfall. The amount is more than impressive, it's record breaking (rankings). Adding the 5.15" onto the 6.49" recorded during the first fifteen days of July puts us at 11.64" for the month through the 25th. The official precipitation record in Oshkosh for the month of July is 8.40". With a break from it today, Jul 25, temps and dewpoints have continued to be above average keeping things nice and hot around the area. OSNW3 is currently 2° above the official Oshkosh monthly mean for July. Many of the EAA campers are enduring the brunt of the record rainfall and above average temps. I personally hope things dry out and the moist air stays south to help make the fly-in a bit more suitable for being outdoors.

  1. I am absolutely amazed (as you are, I'm sure) with your rainfall totals this month! Is there more rain in the forecast to finish the month? Or will 11.64 be your total for July?

    I'm sure the EAA campers are hot and wet! I've got to hand it to the organization, they ran an extremely organized event. I'm sure the wet weather has kept them busier than normal. Weather when we were there was perfect tent weather.

    Cut #7 eh? We just did #13, with #14 needed only a few days after. Our garden is a little too wet...I'm sure you can relate.

  2. WxWatcher, it is certainly impressive. There is a line of storms working their way across the state as I type and I believe the NWS has a 70% chance of them making there way into Oshkosh. It's gonna be a warm night with forecast low only in the mid 70s.

    The EAA is kicking butt from my perspective. Our garden is not doing well in 2010.
