After five straight days of clouds and rain Summer seems to be establishing itself now.
Two day rain totals are very impressive with some towns exceeding 2 inches of rain and while the heavy rain has tapered off there are more showers expected through the next two days.
One day in and Summer has taken a mini vacation. Today, the rain came in early and was steady all afternoon and soaking this evening. Many towns have picked up close to 1" already and this is only round one of several over the next few days.
Day one of Summer did not disappoint but it's day three and four that we have to worry about.
Nothing says June in New England like strawberries and roses!

High pressure is currently sliding to our east in doing so it will take this beautiful day with it...unfortuantley. Low pressure is working our way from the Ohio Valley.
High pressure is going to slide to our south tomorrow and SW winds will pump in some warmth...getting strong June sun will help too...temps will climb into the mid 80s except for the Cape and Islands.
The high today was 60 just before 4PM...we should be hitting 76. Basically this is early May weather in the middle of June...not fair.
Wood chips and crushed stones are among the best materials to use for playgrounds.

This week on Gardening With Gutner, Todd traveled to Parlee Farms in Tyngsboro, MA, where he met with bee keeper Andrew Reseska.
Wow, that was a hot one...many weather observers called in today with high temps near or slightly over 90...my blood isn't ready for this it's still thick from the last few chilly weeks of May!
I guess it's time to put the AC units in...things are heating up around here and this warm spell has legs. High pressure is growing off the East Coast...that's a summertime placement for it.
What a day...nearly perfect in my mind and the pattern is taking a turn toward a Summer set-up!
So what happened to Spring...well as is often the case here in New England we jump from mud-season to Summer. Highs today topped 80 for the first time since last October...the high at Logan was 82 set just before 2PM...dewpoints also reached the mid 60s making it very sticky.
