Halfway Through 2010 « NashvilleWX
This is day 182 of the year, the halfway point. its been 120 days since the last measurable snow, 60 days since the flood and the first day in the last 40 the Nashville Airport will log a daytime high below the norm.
To recap the year so far: coming out of the coldest winter in 30 years we had the wettest Spring ever and a 100-year flood. this last month finished close to the top-1o hottest June’s on record and we just had the strongest June Hurricane (Alex) since 1957 come on shore in Mexico.
Makes you wonder what the second half of the year offers up.
We are also halfway through the growing season if we have an average “first freeze” (Oct. 28th). of course the growing season started a full month early this year. We still have about 4 months of growing ahead so don’t give up on those late sumer crops yet.
And if you are growing things the last time we went more than four days without at least a trace of rain at the Nashville airport was the middle of April. But we haven’t had rain since Monday and expect to have our current dry spelll to last at least ten days; it is not until next Wednesday do we see rain chances.
