After an exceptionally dry May-July we're being quite wet here in September. The skies have been many shades of grey and some impressive clouds and rainbows. Summer is nice around here but the sky sure is boring when it's always blue all day.
Fixing a temperature curiosity
Our weather gage was receiving a lot of late-day sun, which likely had a great deal to do with our very late high temperatures.
I shifted the system further into the shade, where the sun shines very seldom - and the bell curve has definitely shifted to the more-reasonable side of 6PM for our daily highs. Note the sunrise spike though, when the sun can reach the gage this time of year.
Now I need to do some more tree trimming, as rain falling at a sharp angle will be blocked
from the precipitation bucket. I think this will do a better job overall.
