How's your summer?

It's been consistently inconsistent here in southern New England. Memorial Day weekend was barely 60° and raining. 4th of July upper 60s and again, rain. Moderate to heavy rain almost daily for the first 3 weeks of July, with any dry days being 90°+ with a bazillion percent humidity. I had to dig a drainage ditch behind my chicken coop to divert all the water, as the run was constantly flooded by the relentless water barreling down the hill from above my property. My garden survived alright due to all my plants being in raised beds, but I know a few people whose plants have died from root rot or have simply drowned. Now we seem to have settled into a stretch of perfect, albeit below average temperatures. High 50s-low 60s at night, upper 70s-low 80s during the day.

 

Hope it doesn't tear up the corn crop like that one did last year in Iowa... And worse homes bins and barns. And God forbid kill anyone.

 

Had to check where you were with those temps. I would think those are below average temps even for there!! That's fall temps here

 

Yeah what we're seeing now is what we'd typically expect after Labor Day. Even then, it's not that uncommon here to see a 90°+ heat wave at the tail end of September. Or an Indian summer in late October-early November with highs in the 60s.
This was October 30th last year at my house:


Some years we have snow on Halloween, some years it's 65° at Thanksgiving. Never can really tell.

 

Been around average for temps- lots of upper 80’s to mid 90’s. Been on a long streak of high humidity. Late June and early July it was on the dry side but have picked up 8” of rain in the last 3.5 weeks when we average about 4.5” for the whole month. Have not added water to my pool yet this year.

 

Super wet and low temps. The temps I can deal with, but this rain is getting ridiculous....

 

No reported deaths, and despite a few twisters it appears, the damage wasn't too bad.

Sadly we got like nearly no rain from this. Not at my house at least. Neighbor had a Norway maple fall, but it was in rough shape and should've been cut down last year. It's in my yard, and might end up as firewood for me. Other than that we lost a small Norway maple branch, but really no other issues, but I prepared for strong winds.

 

It did for us mostly. Lake Michigan killed the storm asking the lakefront. Inland, there was at least 1 tornado, just confirmed.

 

It's pretty hot in North. It's down there on the upper coastal plain...they have the super high humidity.

 

Same here not that many years ago we had a snow on Halloween
