Today’s Featured image is another from Thursday afternoon at my rain gauge site, looking east. Still dry with mostly sunny skies – first time since last Friday. The air was still humid, but not as humid as it has been the past five days with the constant cloudiness, frequent rain, light fog, drizzle that keep the air temperatures and dew point temperatures just about the same (usually 1° from each other). I was outside for a while in the early…

2018-06-Rockville-2.8-WNW   June 2018 featured near normal rainfall and temperatures at my station, extrapolated from statistics compiled at the three major airports in the DC area and published in the June NWS PRESTO report. There were a few short hot spells with max temps of 90 or more (18th-19th and 29th-30th) but generally pleasantly cool temps most of the other days, particularly during the first half of the month (7 days with maximum temperatures less than 80° with 1 day…

Once again I just barely have time to post this abbreviated report. Once my birthday passes this coming Sunday, things should calm down hopefully. BWI Airport continues to really pile up the rain, currently over 15 inches for the month and well over their old July record of about 11 inches (Thanks Jeff for the updates). All time record for any month is 18+” in the two hurricane month of August 1955. More statistics will follow from Jeff or I…

Once again I am using my cocorahs report just posted on the cocorahs website to post a brief report here. Precipitation totals throughout the Maryland region varies wildly – I just heard that BWI airport has about 11 inches of rain so far this month, which will establish a new July record for the station. Rain still falling, and will do so today and tomorrow (at least). We might get a dry break late in the week but by late…

CoCoRaHS report for Sunday July 22 2018. Regular reports from my station coming soon, I promise. Trying to catch up and also still recovering from my recent leg infection, which is getting better with continued antibiotics being taken.  Birthday celebrations (actual birthday a week away, on Sunday, July 29) commenced this Sunday – life goes on. Had a great brunch at a local seafood restaurant “Nantuckets Reef” with my friends Laura and Chris. Picture of the three of us having…

My apologies for not reporting for over a week, I was in the hospital for 3 days with a leg infection (cellulitis) and have been recovering at home since. Saturday’s incredible rainy day (my rainiest ever since starting obs at this location in January 2017) was so noteworthy I wanted to get at least a brief word out on it, not in my usual format, but copies of what I just posted in my CoCoRaHS report for Saturday.  Update as…

Thursday was still quite warm, but a tad bit cooler than Wednesday, and generally dry but getting a bit damper late, with mostly sunny skies but some fair-weather cumulus dotted the sky during times in the afternoon. Overnight into Friday skies were mostly to partly clear with static dew points in the mid 60s. Lows at sunrise were warm, in the upper 60s but with more still reasonably comfortable dew points in the mid 60s. The Thursday maximum temperature was…
