After another nearly week long dry spell storms built and moved to the coast on Saturday. I was rewarded with three hours of light rain accompanied by intermittent distant rumbles. What a thriller
We haven't got a good, monsoon style thunderstorm here since last september
To make matters worse, on this past saturday (when we got hours of light rain) Doral was blasted with a deluge consisting of intense, close range thunder, nearly golf ball sized hail, gale force winds and extremely heavy rain: mad:
That's one thing I hate about most city's weather records. Records are kept over a period of many decades to over a century. Over these years the city usually grows from a small rural settlement (most cities in the 1800's) to a thriving metropolis full of skyscrapers, cars, people, and endless concrete. People then look at the rising temperature trend which can be upwards of 5F over 120 years and attribute it and every hot day to "Global Warming" when its not global warming at all (which has only been 1F if that so far) that is causing the record war lows and highs, but instead is the UHI. If you look at stations located just outside of big cities you find that most hot temperature record setting events simply DO NOT occur and you find a much more reasonable balance regarding high and low temperature records set thus proving my point.

So you are 1.25 miles from the ocean?
How are you so sure than its highs are incorrect?
