Today's Weather in Your Garden - 71

Not enough superlatives for today. High was 72. 71 now. 5 mph breeze. 33% H.

Stayed in the high 60s all day, breezy, mostly sunny....some towns in CT had showers with large hail...the town next door to us did. Many frost warnings out for northern NY & NE tonight!

Getting close to solstice - sunrise 5:22; sunset 8:27; 15 hours, 4 m of daylight; max sun elevation 71.68 degrees.

Forecast low of 45!

brrrrr


We need some rain, was going past some farmland and with the wind today looked like a sand storm.

It's 43 at the moment and I just turned on the heat....just to get the chill out!!

not much better here.. 49.. high of 64... rain later.. poor coleus

Clouding over. Supposed to rain later. 59.

In the 50's here right now, & turning on the heat sounds mighty good, Pixie!

62°, wind NNW calm, Rh 68%, cloudy

65 cloudy

61° at this time this morning. Easier to garden than when it is hot.

Started out with cold temps in the mid 40s this morning but temp is up to 67 degrees now with bright sunshine. Light NW wind. Clouds moving in later today followed by rain tonight and tomorrow.

It's been cloudy all morning and now....yes, I hear something....wait, could it be? Have to check it out....yes, it is ... RAIN Just spritzing though. Hopefully it will settle in and do a good soaking. 66 now.

66 here on Nantucket. Patti

Just started raining

Raining lightly.

Rain just started here as well. Temp is 59 degrees and light wind has shifted to the SW.

Been raining steadily. 0.18 inch so far.

Light rain and 59. Feels colder, had to put socks on. Patti

Raining pretty steadily, 55.

0.5 inch. Raining hard right now.

Rain predicted. 60s most of the day so could get grass & weeds out of flower bed. Not much result from the effort.

raining

raining here too. A nice rain, no drama!

Poured this am, cleared out in the afternoon.

Okay guys & gals; what's flippin' going on? Heavy 80's or maybe higher 10 days ago, snickering rain a couple of days in between that didn't amount to much. Then this past week of heavy downpour, super high winds, and an isolated, super extended storm cell that created an actual NY, VT, NH into Maine serious freakin' tornado touching down (damaging) in all 4 tops of these states. Along with high winds .... much damage there as well.

Then blessed soft rain in my smallest state cap. twn in VT. Dry as a cork leg like all over NE, and 2 days ago, serious talk from weather folks about a very serious frost for certain north-mid counties of Vermont where our home is and a bit north where my Tomatoes, cukes, peppers are planted. At home covered up tender annuals and a few favorite perennials about to bloom,which
turned out to be not needed as it was 39 at 7 a.m. Not sure about my tomatoes, peppers,
or cukes and tiny lettuce/chard/radish plants in raised beds at our camp. (I hate this that I can't be at both places at the same time!!!)

Global warming or what; this has been one hellish spring of March in the 60s, April in the 70s and May in the 80s (or severe combos of each in all those months) and June being a total "wing-nut" w/ 'meeze' thinking I'm getting more than a "tad" too elderly to deal with all this overwhelming
el-crappo!! Cheers for more normal weather!!

Bless us all who love our gardens and think of them as our pets ~

You're right, crazy weather!

Wish I lived where it's year-round 76 degrees for day, 55 degrees at night.

There's a mountainside in Hawaii with that pattern.

Hope all your plants up north are okay Vt Roots. We got down to low 40s here but that is cold enough for June. The weather last spring and this year has been really strange and unpredictable at times for sure. Most plants are ahead of schedule this year, last they were a bit late. Maybe next year they will be back on time or maybe this is the new normal.
Overcast , 52 degrees and looks like the rain has stopped. Might not see much sun today even if there is no more rain. At least it was a normal just wet steady rain with no lightening and wind. Nice and the garden likes it. Will check later to see how much we got.

54° raining. We need the rain, severe storms hit south of us when we flew home from WI, a few minutes of driving rain so you couldn't see the road, then we were out of it & easy drive home. Nothing like tornados although straight line winds can be damaging. The garden can use this rain & replanted some species irises & added compost yesterday.

Me too, Boston!

61 and overcast. Ended with 0.65 inch of rain yesterday.

does not look like we received the .7" we were supposed to get and i am not surprised

Still raining here--the area of rain seems to be patchy.

Went out to check rain gauge and looks like we got around a half an inch here. One nice side effect of clouds and wet is that I found and smushed a half dozen slugs. Brightens my day.

63°, wind North (calm), cloudy

You have the weather we had for the last 3 days. Hopefully when I get home from work it will still be clear so I can catch up in the garden. I plan to put the leftover seedlings in those fiber potato pots from Gardner supplies and see how it goes. I also have an extra large raised bed my late husband built that I am going to put some things in a see how it goes. It used to get full sun in 1997 when Jim built it; not now. I already put some spinach and Broccoli in it and will put another sowing of lettuce. I am playing with corn in the sunny end of it. I am going to throw in some beans & squash and try the "three sisters" thing.


You guys east of WNY seem to get our weather a day later. All we had was rain since Saturday.
