August 2020 Observations and Discussion

No rain up here today. A lovely albeit humid day.

GFS says normalcy to some below normal temps for the remainder of the month of August?? Time will tell. Looks like a SECS to HECS pattern shaping up LOL!

Steady rain here .25" so far. Grass and vegetable garden enjoying this.

63* here now beautiful temps

68° With steady light rain perfect day to make tomato sauce . Typical old school Italian parents I told my parents why do we wait till next week no We have to do it today because it’s cool outside

After watching lots of Rodia channel I am learning the strange beliefs of older Italians, some are hilarious (no offense meant, everyone has their beliefs), Frank I highly suggest you subscribe to his channel. I hope it stays cool, I cannot take these ridiculous heat anymore. Fall is right around the corner but I know it will be hot through the fall at least on and off.

Overcast all day and was windy about 2 hours ago

High temp 69*

Rain .55"

Wind 12mph

Late September day feel

Seeing the first splashes of color in the early maples up here that turn first.Noticeably shorter days as well.Little over a month to Fall.Looking forward to the end of this relentlessly hot summer.

Yes sir. Looks like the 500mb pattern is one that should keep here or around here for less humid and lower high temps for a bit. Yesterday, even though rained all day, was mid to upper 60’s all day. August 15th and felt my first taste of fall. Not bad.
