3/1/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I think i saw 2 raindrops on the pavement during the 8am hour yesterday...or was it an overhead bird that sneezed or had bladder control problems? Hardly worth placing a "T" in the rain column so left it at "zero", since I felt none on my person, while the rain gauge remained bone dry.
3/2/2015 7:00 AM T M M M M mostly cloudy 48F and fine sprinkles falling right now (bone dry inside rain gauge) so thats enough to qualify "T" of rain. No, I'm not going to say it...but I did look up to make sure there was not a flock of birds overhead....was actual precip!

7/2/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M One of the warmest nights I have ever seen last night and early this morning with a low of 76F! Thanks to the monsoonal cloudiness.

7/15/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Yesterdays high was 89F, low this morning was 59F.

Average number of days of the temps being 100 and above per year is 13 days. (we already had 8 such days this summer). By the way my average around 10 yrs ago was still 93/61 and 13 days of 100's so no major climate change here at this station anyway over recent yrs. Rainfall total this season so far is "trace" inches. Total last season was 15.49"

(possibly an all time September high for area). Record high for the month at SAC and downtown Sac is 108 and 109 respectively but thermometers typically read 3-5 degrees too high in the instrument shelters that was used in the old days, so actual highs were probably around 105 give or take a degree or 2. Smoggy day yesterday, smoke layers as well, like we have today. Low this morning was 67 (up 2 degrees from previous morning).
9/13/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mostly cloudy, some mammatus clouds, virga, threatening skies and currently 71 degrees.(update: sprinkles (sizable drops)...lasting several minutes started right after observation....nothing inside rain gauge however)
