Some rain might be on the way

There are multiple types of stations reporting, not just the airport ones. There are GCN and COOP stations that aren't at Logan that report to various networks. The trick is that, even with nearly two centuries of observations, there are not any comprehensive things that aggregate all this. Some states have longstanding records from their own state met offices - which MA doesn't really have. Scraping Google Earth Engine and processing in R is possible if you want modeled data for many areas of the state, but geotiffs are a beyotch to deal with - I'm likely going to hire an intern to put it together so I can have not just Tmax but also humidity and heat index data to work with. It's a tedious mess and there is no one place just putting it together. Forget NOAA - that's a fucking joke with PDF files for each month in nonstandard formats - and you can only pull down a handful at a time.

To read more carefully, and react only after reading.

If you look at the precipitation projections in the 2023 ResiliantMass Plan, we can expect longer stretches of dryness in the warmer months to continue and become more common.

We can expect more WEATHER like this because THE CLIMATE is changing.

I think that was pretty clear in what I posted, but you had to pretend that I said something that I did not actually say so you could spew your little talking point and "lecture" an actual scientist.

Don't quit yer day job, JDjr.
