Sorry, kids. Summer is half over this weekend - at least the meteorological summer (June, July and August). How are we doing weatherwise? BWI has reported 11 days in the 90s (June 1 through July 13). It's been warm, about 1.7 degrees above average. That's boosted cooling degree-days (demand for cooling energy) about 6 percent above average. Ouch! Heavy rain at BWI July 10 left official rainfall near average, but most of Maryland remains dry. The good news? No tropical storms since Barry expired June 2. Knock on wood.
