Our earliest actual sunrise was on Sunday morning. Summer starts tomorrow at 5:44 PM EDT. Also, it looks like these rise and set times are for Cincinnati. Our max looks to be 5:16 AM/8:30 PM. Portland, ME, from when I used to live near there, is something like 4:59 AM/8:26 PM.

Wow remember my post about Caribou, ME going in the upper 90s this week.

This maps really shows the north-south topsy turvy temperatures. The site I got it from claims 96 is the warmest it's ever been in Caribou and that this would be an all-time record today but I'm not so sure of that.

Those of us growing anything in the ground know how fast soil dries out. Within days even 4-6" below surface is dry.

Less than 2 inches in past 5 weeks.
1" this month so far.

Grasses are browning. A site I havent seen since 2016 I think

What a pattern. I asked for it. And I'm not complaining. But here comes the "we need rain" sayings.

2 common sayings in southern New England.

"We need rain"
"Enough with the rain, it's raining so much"

Starting to notice Oak trees having some reddish leaves at the top. Don't know if it's drought related

Still 68 F/20 C for New Britain's 06052 at 1:30 AM.

NBC of Portland was mentioning Caribou, saying how they were flirting with an all-time record. I would link the video from there but need to keep this with Connecticut. (I often talk about things up there, as I've lived there twice.)

82 and a dew point of 65 at 9:50 AM (New Britain). Summer starts at 5:44 PM. Sunset is around 8:29 PM.

Meanwhile, Caribou, ME "only" reached 96 on Friday.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The upper low slides farther offshore on Monday with ridging
building in aloft, setting up a more summer-like weather
pattern for the long term period. By mid-week, the ensemble
means indicate the ridge shifting to the Western Atlantic as an
upper trough digs across the Great Lakes Wednesday and Thursday.
This trough should remain over the eastern States through the
end of the week.

The main story heading into early next week will be increasing
temperatures and higher humidity levels. With high pressure over
the Western Atlantic, the flow will be mainly southerly which
should help to suppress how warm it gets each day. However,
there may be a thermal surface trough setting up somewhere near
or just NW of NYC metro which could lead to a more SW flow and
warmer temperatures. Will have to watch trends in the guidance
in the upcoming days, but for now not seeing any extreme heat.
The warmest days are likely to be Tuesday and Wednesday with
temperatures dropping a bit for the end of the week with the
front and upper trough nearby.

I'm about 3" below normal past 4 weeks
High pressure controlled us and systems and fronts were stuck south of us.
