It was stormy and rainy overnight as well. Picked up an additional .40” which already puts me well over an inch on the month. Of course, June rainfall is usually heavily skewed toward the first 7-10 days of the month.
Ended up with a cool and wet 60/56 spread yesterday. Picked up over .70”of rainfall, the heaviest periods being the early afternoon and later in the evening with steel gray clouds, light rain, and a breezy SSW wind throughout. Just a great day.
I always find the dark clouds bring out the stunningly green landscape better than almost anything else this time of year. Probably helped along by the light of the high sun angles far above enhancing the color. It is very beautiful, if only you have the eyes to see.
