It's like a freezer door that stays open all the time, huh? Makes sense why the UK stays so cool in summer, especially N.I.
Eh. Maybe Greenland makes it a bit worse. But nothing more than latitude and oceanic position is needed to explain the cool summers of the northern British Isles. Coastal B.C. and Alaska is the same or colder at the latitude. There's a lot open water in between Greenland and the British Isles.
Couldn't find the drought thread. Dry conditions developing here in the northeast, but nothing serious at this point.
Yup, when there's reds on the map it spikes my interest.
One of the most hyped things out there I find is drought talk. Unless its years worth like California, ect I don't see it being a big deal in New England. We always make up for it.
Northeast goes from saying "we're in drought conditions, I need rain, where is the rain, why is it so dry".... to " wish it wouldn't rain so much, why is it always gloomy and rainy, enough with the rain, I got over 5" in couple days"
My forecast. I'll probably be complaining about too much rain soon.
I'd rather it be dry for weeks on end then rain few times a week.
Todays rain came 25 days after the last rains. It was awesome to go over 3 weeks without rain. Lots of chances to get some outside work done.

I don't like it especially this time of the year because pollen is all over the place. During the summer the grass turns ugly and brown. Everything feels fresh and clean after a good rain, though I don't care for the heat and humidity that often accompanies it.

It's hard to get extended periods of 70s dewpoints here, and late spring drought is a nail in the coffin.

In a climate where May averages the most days of rain.

Muggy here today and I'm looking at the models to see when the dewpoint 60s are done, here you are looking for 70s.
Saw a Met tweet about that, that we had no rain in a period when we get rain. But then I looked at the averages... Every month is basically 3"+/- so every month is rainy then, no?
I don't take too much note in precip amounts, not exciting enough around here most of the time.
