Wither weather?
Yes! It’s yet another “gripe about the weather” post! Woohoo!
Let’s see:
Today’s high? Was the normal low. That would be 52F. That means that tomorrow there will be another of those red bars in the image to the left, but this one will just barely touch the dark grey area. The light grey shows record temps, the dark grey the average temps for the day.
The number of highs above 59F this year? Thirty-five. The normal average for a year? Eighty-eight.
The number of highs above 64F this year? Seven. The norm? Forty-four.
The number of highs above 70F this year?
Are you ready?
TWO.
Two bloody days above 70 degrees. It’s almost the end of July. Normally, there are 15 in a year.
That’s why I’ve been complaining.
The NOAA didn’t mention “number of sunny days”, but I found an average climate listing, which shows 43% sunshine in July. That means almost every other day should have some sunshine. The last day with sunshine? We had a little bit on Saturday…We had a little bit the Saturday before that…We had a fair amount on the 4th and 5th of July. That would be a sunshine rate of 17%.
Bah. And humbug.
