Sunday started out somewhat cloudy, but not foggy like yesterday, though still muggy. We had a muggy, warmer PM with late afternoon storm cloud buildups that finally led to a light shower between 1945-2000 (0.01″) […]

Thanks for your excellent post, Harry on your recent (lack of significant) weather and that you will be using your new thermometer for charting upcoming daily variations (or lack thereof) in your climate. It will be interesting to see how well your new thermometer performs. Have you been able to find a hook or nail to hang the thermometer from? I…[Read more]

Hi Harry! It is still preferred to have your thermometer in a shield facing north, but the most important thing to have it sheltered, even when it stays in full shade, as radiation still comes down on the unsheltered thermometer.
I don’t know how much, if any, you can see of this web page, but this is the link to the Taylor “sixes” style…[Read more]

Thanks for posting the link to my article on the Ellicott City flooding. I hope to add to it sometime as more information comes in and I get a chance to.

On May 27, 2018, training thunderstorms severely affected the Ellicott City area with torrential downpours over a short period of time, causing the historic downtown area to flood severely. Main Street turned into […]

Hi Harry! Here is the text from the following link, in case you can’t open it for reasons you found a few days ago… I can vouch for this source, I know the founder and head of “Weatherworks” very well – Mike Mogil of Naples FL, but who used to live up here in this part of Maryland.…[Read more]

So good to hear from you Harry, I presume at your new location. The thermometer looks really nice – nice digital readout at the bottom, otherwise the unit looks much like the old Taylor max min (sixes) thermometer many of my fellow local observers and I used many years ago. It had mercury in the tubes and you reset the max min with a magnet. We…[Read more]

Monday was a mostly to partly sunny, hazy, hot, humid day with clouds coming in during the later stages of the afternoon that put a lid on the increasing temperature. The clouds resulted from a line of storms […]

Thanks for the explanation on the Welsh name of your new town. Will you be placing your new thermometer behind your north facing wall? Even though it is north-facing, the thermometer still needs to be sheltered in some sort of radiation shield. I assume your rain gauge will be giving you readings in metric units. Here is a link to start with on…[Read more]

Thanks Harry for your great reply update. Good luck in your move to Llanrhystud (what language is that BTW?) and I hope I can help you set up your weather records. I am working with Nathan on that. Amazing about the source of the maps not being from the government! I will have to tell my Norwegian friend about that website!! He may not know about…[Read more]

Thanks for your post Harry. I just love the weather maps your government produces. Such clearly drawn and labelled isobars! And great collaboration between the surface map and the radar overlay! I shared your post with a friend of mine over in Norway, esp. since I believe your map does show a bit of the Scandanavian coast. I am trying to get him…[Read more]
