Nice day today. Perfect actually.
Hopefully we have a few more like it to keep things nice and green.

Rain
- Thread starter Stonedfish
- Start date
Well, it has been a wet month here in the Poconos; according to the official Canuck Weather Desk, we have received 11 inches to date, with measurable rain on 17 of 23 days so far in May.
Our chief meteorologist has declared an end to the drought conditions.

That is a lot of rain. I know you’re new to that area, but is May generally a wet time of year for that area or just exceptionally wet this year?

There are probably some sad trout fisher people in your area this month with the streams being blown for one of the best hatch months.
Around here it’s been darn dry. Only about 3/4” of rain this May, where it’s normally closer to 2”.
From what I have been told, April showers have now extended into May as well, very wet compared with normal, but don't think any records yet.
@Stonedfish, to further answer your question, average rainfall for May is 4.3 inches. The wettest month is actually September, with an average of 5.4 inches, but that tends to come in a few single-event rainfalls from the tail end of hurricanes that make their way here. So, yeah, this has been a pretty wet May compared with normal.

I RAINED UPON the people trying to get in line at the grocery store!!! They moved because I RAINED upon the line!!!! Then it was just ME UP IN front of the line!!
I enjoyed listening to the rain fall last night.
Mid 60’s today is just about perfect. This coming Wednesday, not so much.

This could go in the humor thread as well….

Sunny, Highs in the low 80s.
A Cottage Cheese Alert has been issued in the metro area.
It has now reached 61⁰, and @Stonedfish has retreated into his solar proof basement bunker.

Adding my 2 cents on this; local creeks and streams have been just under flood stage off and on for most of the month. Here in the center mountains, it's been pretty heavy. Since last Wed. we've gotten an additional 3.4 inches, not including what fell today.
Penns Creek finally greened up for just 2 days before going back to imitating the Puyallup in color. Flows are currently around 800 -1100 cfs, normal is around 450. More predicted rain starting Friday through to Monday.
This isn't the weather patterns I remember as a kid.
AGREED!!!!
Damn, not even June yet and parts of the US are already getting wildfire smoke from up north. I hope we can get through this summer without experiencing it again this in the PNW.
