The sun played peek-a-boo with us for most of the day, but it finally gave up late this afternoon as the cloud deck rolled in over us with some rain threatening. There are storms ranging around us, but it has not rained here this afternoon. The temperature has fallen from its high of just over ninety to around 70 degrees. The goats and sheep are outside enjoying the results of all the rain we have had in May and June, which is grass that is over 3 feet tall all aver the pasture. They are all certainly losing their winter coats as a result.

This morning there is a ground fog which has reduced visibility to between .25 and .5 miles. It is so humid that it feels like everything is just sticking to you. We did not have a great deal more rain last night, only about .05 inches. We will see tomorrow what the totals for the month were, particularly if thundershowers pop up again this afternoon and evening like they did yesterday. The instrument readings certainly indicate a repeat of yesterday.

This morning I took a hike with a friend up Bald Mountain in Washington Township (between Wilton and Weld). The view from the top showed just how hazy it was today, which was the prelude to the storms that followed. The thunderstorms that have been threatening the area every afternoon have finally gotten their act together. At about 17:00 hours they started with a crash and a bang. The temperature has dropped from its high of 90.5 to under 70 since about 16:00 hours. Now at 20:30 hours it is still raining, but the thunder seems to have dissipated. I will say this, our goats and sheep appeared to be quite pleased that they were allowed to come inside the barn before the rain began.

About 21:30 last night there was a shower that produced about a tenth of an inch of rain. Despite that the lightning bugs were still quite active. This morning the predominant feature is the high thin cirrus cloud cover. The sun is shining right through this, but it is definitely not as bright as it could be.

Filtering clouds this morning

Once again the clouds rolled in late this afternoon, and although it was humid the breeze made it quite bearable. We did go through periods of sunshine and clouds until this evening when the sky became completely overcast. The grass was dry enough to mow and the pepper patch got weeded. With the temperature hovering in the mid-eighties it was definitely warm. I also noticed that there are strawberries getting ripe.

It certainly is steamy this morning between the fog and temperature in the mid-sixties. The visibility is down to about a quarter of a mile, and motorists are driving with their headlights on. Once the fog burns off and the grass dries out it should be possible to do just about anything outdoors.

We are approaching the carbon copy report of Hazy, Hot and Humid for the observation. It is almost hard to believe that 8 weeks ago there was almost no color on the trees and now everything is a verdant green and flower gardens are in full bloom. Clouds continue to pop up during the afternoon, but we still have had no rain. Just to note after yesterday's report was submitted some of those clouds did generate some thunder and lightening, but there was no rain, and they passed by without incident in this area.

The sun rose this morning behind a fairly heavy overcast. There was very little if any dew on the grass. It was a bit oppressive. There was no rain overnight, but that says nothing about today. I guess we will see what happens. It is interesting to note that this is the highest barometric pressure we have seen since I started keeping these records nearly 2 months ago.

It has been sunny and hot all afternoon, and although there have been some thunderheads around I have not heard any thunder or seen any rain. It is not quite as oppressive as it was yesterday, but it did get hotter than it did. I have a thermometer on the sunny side of the house, and while it was not in the direct sun it did register 111.6 degrees. So, if you were standing in the sun and complained of the heat you were justified. There have been rumors that it may be cooler tomorrow.

At 11:00 it is already hazy, hot and humd. The temperature is over 90 degrees, so it is time to break out the shorts and short sleeves. A day at the beach would probably be in order. When the weather is like this only "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun". I hope no Englishmen take offense, none intended

After a low of 57.6 degrees by 8:00 AM the temperature is up to 75. Last night there was a heavy dew again. It appears that we are into a summer day, hazy, hot and humid. This will be a nice day to be outside doing what we do in Maine, be it lawn care, gardening, fishing or swimming at the lake to stay cool.

This afternoon has been mostly cloudy with occasional very light sprinkles, which did not produce enough precipitation to measure. It was warm, but the breeze made it quite comfortable. Right now (17:30) the breeze is still delightful and even though the temperature is around 79 degrees it is quite comfortable.

What an absolutely delightful day. There was a little breeze to keep the insects at bay, which made this, in my opinion a nine. The only downside was the cloudiness that rolled in late in the afternoon, but still a great day.

It was a star-studded sky last night. There was plenty of dew on the grass, the sun was out and the sky was clear this morning. It was a great night for sleeping and right now it looks like it will be a great day to enjoy the outdoors. This is truly "Chamber of Commerce" weather.

The rain came to an end early this morning, the skies cleared and the sun came out. The lawn is now dry and can be mowed, and the garden can be planted. All in all a delightful afternoon. The current temperature is 70.5 degrees and with the lower humidity it is extremely comfortable.

It is raining this morning, but there has not been enough to record in the rain gauge. The garden plot has dried out, and this rain should not prevent soil preparation tomorrow, or even lawn mowing this afternoon. We can hope that the showers which we are now experiencing will stop fairly soon. Just as a note we have had 5.65 inches of precipitation so far during the month of June, and there is still a week left. Can we say soggy?

Description: The weather finally seems to have turned a corner. There was a very heavy dew on the grass, but all indications seem to indicate that today is going to be a great one. I for one am glad to see the end of this very rainy and cool period. If I had to guess I would say that the water table has been replenished and our time of drought is essentially over, but we shall see as the summer progresses.

Description: The weather has not changed all day. There has been nothing but rain drizzle and fog with an accumulation of 0.15 inches of precipitation. This will not make the nearly 2000 bicyclists who are riding in the Trek Across Maine very happy. This Blog will be hit or miss until Sunday Evening because I am one of those Trekkers, and with the proposed weather of rain and cool I am not going to be very happy.

Description: Here we go again, it's raining, humid and overcast. This is depressing because the lawn can't be mowed, and the garden can't be planted, house painting or preparation cannot be done nor can any other outside activity be reasonably attempted. We seem to be in the same pattern we were in during May, with the exception of the few warm days last week and at the first of the month. OUCH!!

Description: This is another in the rainy day column. It has done so all day to a greater or lesser extent. Right now it is a fine drizzle, but it has added another 0.2 inches of precipitation to our total. The grass is getting so tall that it is beginning to short out the electric fence. It is needless to say that the goats and sheep appreciate having a dry barn to stay in. I don't want to go outside in this weather either. It is no wonder that the gardens are way behind.

Description: This morning the weather is something different, RAIN, RAIN and more RAIN. It has also cooled off. With the rain and cool weather the lawns are again on the grow and before long we will be haying rather than just mowing. So, for the month of June we have had 3.5 inches of rain. Gee, does this sound familiar, welcome back to the month of May.

Description: At 5:15 AM it started to rain. It was still quite humid and uncomfortable. The sky is overcast and the rain has become heavier and steadier. All in all this looks like the start of a dreary day, but only time will tell. I understand that the recorded temperature this morning may be our high for the day. At this point there is not enough precipitation to measure.

Description: There was a shower around 10 AM that produced about a tenth of an inch of rain. Since then it has been hazy, hot and humid.

It was reported to me that the storm lasted about a half an hour and produced an inch of precipitation. There were trees down in the area and some broken branches in my own yard. Our next door neighbor had two trees down in their yard as well. Again the temperature exceeded 90 degrees. Wow!

In addition there were 17 days that had rain for a total of 8.00 inches of precipitation. This did not allow the bees to get out to pollenate the fruit trees, and anyone wanting to plant a garden has certainly been delayed. The lawns have certainly enjoyed the water, and have shown it by growing to excess.
