Boston’s Summer Bummer

This had been the worst June (weather-wise) I’ve experienced in recent memory.

Look at this:

-June 2009 saw sunshine just 27 percent of the time, making it the second gloomiest June on record behind the 25 percent mark in 1903.

-The highest temperature recorded in June was 79, making it just the second June on record and first since 1916 that failed to reach 80 at any time.

-There were 19 days of measurable precipitation in June, second only to the 20 from 1916.

It’s supposed to rain until Saturday. There goes tomorrow’s beach plans! :-(

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE WEATHER?

I like cooler temperatures and I even like rain. Or I did, before this month. Is a day of 80 degrees and sun just too much to ask for? I don’t want a heat wave…I just want to wear my flip flops and sunglasses!

And now I’m concerned that once we warm up, we’ll have 90 degree humid weather straight until October, while I’m hippo-sized.
