Rainy, Damp Weather Pattern

☔︎︎ Rainy, Damp Weather Pattern ☔︎︎ Our taste of summer has come to an end. More clouds and cooler temperatures today, with some light rain mainly Downeast. The more significant rain comes late Thursday to early Friday. There is still some uncertainty on the start time of the heavier rain late Thursday and the end time Friday. It's possible the heavier rain could hold off for areas near the New Brunswick border until Thursday night. Even though the heavier rain won't last into the weekend, it does look cool with a chance of showers for the weekend.

	W et Bulb Globe Temperature Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a measure of the heat stress in direct sunlight, which takes into account: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover (solar radiation). This differs from the heat index, which takes into consideration temperature and humidity and is calculated for shady areas. For more background info on WBGT, click here.
