We’ve had one week of what I’d call typical summer weather and the rest has been rain, rain, rain with below normal temps, sometimes well below normal. I’m in NC.
Same here in Colorado. Temps in August hovering around 65° and rain every day. We average 12” per year with last year being below that. The forest fire were amazing. Since the fires we have had over 30” of rain, often 3” per hour or more. A few towns over is having flash flooding that is wiping out parts of the town and killing people. We went from bone dry for several years to more rain than has been seen in decades.
Affecting the grape harvest at wineries and grape growers with potential fungus. Very difficult (friends) for hay harvesting which has locally been non-existent for them— no way to cut then dry the hay to bale it. Also, excessive grass growth when too wet to cut. And super cool as you say— my friends say it is 63 at night in August, late August at that? Whoah.
Also noticing in the runup to peak of hurricane season— no storms off Africa. Peak is Labor day to 10 Sept.
