I've just realised that it's been over a month since I last mowed my lawns.. they haven't grown much if at all. Very dry. No rain in the forecast either, bar the outside chance of an isolated storm on Saturday.
A tree in my front garden suffered in the long cold dry spring and didn't leaf until mid-June, and now just a third of the way into July its leaves are actually turning yellow and falling off. Our willow tree seems to be doing OK though.
On top there's 3 model choices. Short term RAP, Me Term NAM, and GFS.
On the left you'll see the green forecast hours. Reds mean its not loaded yet(still updating)
You can't zoom in with them but if you click on a location you'll get the sounding from there.
Any break we get is a reload. Meaning this is the pattern to August. Any break should be short. HHH comes right back
Looks like dew points around 70°F will be the norm (with a short break in a few days) until Tues the 23rd. From the GFS. I'm thinking we will break a record in monthly mean if not that monthly min.

Some wasteful types at my parent's were running sprinklers. They have automatic ones. I don't think my parents have watered theirs all summer. Worst I saw were people with the sprinklers in the morning when Tropical Storm Irene arrived later in the afternoon. Get your watering done before the storm hits. I guess it doesn't matter much, since there isn't exactly a water shortage problem here.

I'm wondering if this fairly similar to a summer in East Asia?
here's what the NWS in Gray, Maine has to say about Northern New England:
THE RIDGE SHOULD BUILD IN FOR A DRY AND WARM DAY ON SUNDAY...WITH
A FAIR AMOUNT SUNSHINE...AND SLIGHTLY LOWER DEW POINTS...IN THE UPPER
50S TO LOWS 60S. THAT RIDGE SHOULD BUILD JUST TO OUR SOUTH ON
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...MAKING FOR MAINLY SUNNY AND WARM DAYS...WITH
INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AGAIN. MODELS HINTING AT A WEAK 500 MB
WAVE TRACKING JUST NORTH OF THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER...AND
SUGGESTS A COLD FRONT TRIES TO DROP DOWN INTO FORECAST AROUND THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE RIDGING...AND THE
FACT THAT ITS MID JULY...MODELS MAY BE OVERDOING THE EQUATORWARD
PUSH OF THE TROUGH...AND ADVANCE OF THE SURFACE FRONT.

I don't see the point in watering the lawn. My yard is too big anyway, but even if it were feasible I wouldn't water the grass. Only plants.
The Met have heat health watch - I think 30C on three consecutive days is possible for some places. 30C on Friday and 29C on Saturday here seems possible. Looks like normality has returned - east is hottest.
Current watch level: Level 2 - Alert and Readiness
Issued at: 0859 on Thu 11 Jul 2013
There is a 70 % probability of heatwave conditions between 1200 on Friday and 2000 on Sunday in parts of England.
Temperatures are expected to climb close to heatwave thresholds across the East Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber regions during Friday and Saturday, then the highest temperatures transfer southwards to affect East of England, Southeast England, London and parts of Southwest England during Saturday and Sunday. West Midlands may also get close to heatwave criteria, mainly towards Birmingham and Warwick, with the warmest temperatures on Saturday.
An update will be issued when the alert level changes in any region. Alerts are issued once a day by 0900 if required and are not subject to amendment in between standard issue times. Note that the details of the forecast weather are valid at the time of issue but may change over the period that an alert remains in force. These details will not be updated here unless the alert level also changes, the latest forecast details can be obtained at the following link: Weather and climate change - Met Office
