Oh Summer, where art thou?

[Earth_First]

48 degrees this morning in Western, New York.

We've had nothing but mid-seventies temperatures and 4.5" of rain for the month already...

Tomorrow's forecast is half to three-quarters of rain with temperatures next week much of the same.

I have a quarter acre of property I haven't been able to mow this year yet due to being under 6" of water, unfortunately where our firepit sits. Havent had a fire yef this year...



The clutches of Spring just won't let go...

1. We've got your summer right here.

After a long spring, summer has come upon us. At 5:00 am, it's 76°F with an expected high of 91°F. There's a slight chance of rain, but I'll have to water my flowers again today, I'm sure.

2. we arent faring any better downstate

It's a good thing we didn't plant our tomatoes, they would have been drowned & our pool is 72 degrees. Weather is atricious.

3. I'm in NE NY and we've had typhoons almost every day for the past three weeks...

4. i'll swap you that for our 90s

hope you're able to get a fire in the pit soon

[RiffRandell]

6. Me too!

I hate this weather....central air doesn't even feel like it's on; yesterday I hung out at our neighborhood pool and the water was warm.

Yuck!

[RebelOne]

13. Ditto. I'll take 48 degrees rather than the 80s and 90s. I hate summer. n/t

5. The outside temperature gauge on my car hit 100 today

If you're still wondering where it art, the answer is Texas.

7. I feel your pain. It is 54 F. in northern PA right now

Sunny, but more Spring like than approaching summer. Chance of rain from tomorrow and most of the week, too.

9. We are shivering in SW PA too!

I actually like cooler temps, but i don't think my tomatoes are happy.

8. At 8 this morning it was 79° and 85% humidity.

[Solly Mack]

10. It is at my house.

Hot & muggy.

[Dash87]

11. My garden certainly liked it. I haven't had to water in over a week.

[Betty88]

12. Loving this weather in NYC

Only had to have my AC on 3 times so far, we are having a lovely day bright and sunny 67 right now, I think its perfect. We need the water so the rains have not bothered me, I wish it would stay this way all summer long.

14. I like rain - I wish you could send some out here to California

I think we've had even less than half the usually sparse amount of precipitation this past year. It's dry.

[In_The_Wind]

15. I need another 8 inches of water in my pond but it doesn't have to be rain.

Does it? The guys are willing to haul it in.

[nolabear]

16. It's like that here too, but that's normal. Seattle, you know.

We all get a little nuts about this time of year, screaming "WHERE IS THE SUN??? THEY PROMISED ME SUN!!!!" It comes out about mid July and we get all gooey about how nice it is here until about mid-october, when the damned thing goes away for another 9 months.

20. From what I can make of the climate models, this may be the new normal for those of us

along the south shore of Lake Ontario. Instead of snow, we'll get rain all winter followed by a cool summer, just like Seattle. I always wanted to live somewhere with this weather. Sounds strange, i know, but I can't take sunlight or heat!

[TorchTheWitch]

17. not so different in Philly area

This is so weird. We usually jump right from winter into summer. We had a few days of summer weather toward the end of May, so I set up my pool in the backyard. And immediately this crap cool weather with tons of rain set in and has been lasting weeks.

[ConcernedCanuk]

18. 48? heck, 51 here!

Our weather is indeed getting stranger, and unpredictable.

Couldn't have anything to do with our human behaviour,

could it?

19. I wasn't gonna be too sympathetic.

Living here by the ocean in SF, I will see gray days encased in drippy fog till the end of August. I have the heater on right now--in fact I use it more in the summer than the winter.

But the diff is: I expect this from my summer. The weather patterns here aren't weird or unusual at all. You all live where there're actual seasons, so you have a reasonable expectation of a real summer.

Hope you get it soon. And remember, it ain't summer till the 21st and solstice!

[ConcernedCanuk]

21. Only 46 degrees here -

Our weather has gone nuts!
