Lucky you, it takes me weeks to get 3" or more. Another dead and boring summer and no canes again. 2 more hot insane months to go with mid 90's till the end of Oct. I no longer count Oct as a fall month since it is no longer nothing it used to be in the 1970's and 80's.

66°F at 3am, headed to 88°F this afternoon (Riverside, CA)

Today's averages are 94°F/64°F

This month will go out dry. Not even 2" since Aug 14th. My get a inversion line with the fetch of the cane on Wends and maybe get lucky and get some rain.

Sunshine to start the day but scattered showers possible this afternoon. Then we dry out for a while again. While temps will only be around 80 today the dewpoint is still near 70F so it's still pretty awful. In some ways, I think cool and humid and worse than hot and humid. But the humidity goes away starting tomorrow. Highs go into the upper 70s with dewpoints back into the 50s where they should be.

Last day of Meteorological summer will be pleasant here with only a very slight chance of a shower in a spot or two. Humidity levels way down.

I won't see a 64f for months. Still hope that kink in the upper levels holds out for Wends as i really need 8" to make up for a dry summer.

Tampa averages a coldest temp of 55°F in October, so you should see 64°F within 6 weeks statistically, that's not months

Ya did. Look at the last 5 Octs. I used to see 30's and 40's in Oct in Tampa back in the real falls in the 1980's and before. Look at Oct of 2019 and get back with me on Tampa lows.
