Summer 2009

We have had an interesting summer. It has leaned to the cool and wet side to be sure. Today is the 41st day of below normal readings since June 1st. There have only been 18 ninety-degree days, 10 of those were in June!

July was the 7th coolest on record in Springfield while other locations east of the city ranked much cooler if not coolest.

The rest of this week should stay below normal.

Tropical Depression #2

The Atlantic basin is looking more active now in terms of possible tropical developments.

There are a few distrurbances over and east of the Leeward Islands but a tropical depression did form overnight west of the Cape Verde Islands. This system is about ten days from any potential interaction with the U.S.

Cape Verde storms are very common this time of year as waves come off of the African Coast traveling westward.
