I feel like we have gotten an insane amount of rain this summer. I hear you OP!

PP's comparison to Florida is apt-- I feel like I now see weeds everywhere. I remember when the area used to be a lot dryer.

There was a summer a couple years ago where we had lots of terrible thunderstorms, there were many houses that trees fall on them, power outages, lots of damage, as a regular weekly occurrence.

There have been some heavy rains and that terrible lightning strike but overall the storms haven't been as severe or as frequent this summer.


Yes, the summer of 2018 had record precipitation. Our house was one of the ones that had a tree fall on it because of the combination of saturated soil and some wind (although not horrible wind).

This summer seemed mild to me. Some hot days, but typically we have weeks where even the swimming pools are not comfortable. This summer there was only a handful of days the water was w really warm.

We did have a lot of rain/storms (at least intermittently- so you never felt safe planning something outdoors).

This is correct. This summer has been pretty much dead-on average, but the averages are now calculated from 1991-2020, so it just keeps creeping hotter and hotter.

Thankfully we escaped another summer like 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2016 which were just awful all around.

The summer was cooler than usual up until the end of June. Then it flipped into one of the most hot, humid, rainy summers I can remember in decades.

If this is what Florida is like every summer, I don't understand why anyone could deal with it.
