First Completely Dry Weekend Across Southwestern Connecticut in Six Weeks

This is the first completely dry weekend across southwestern Connecticut since June 10 and 11, which was six weeks ago. The weather is absolutely beautiful along Samp Mortar Lake in the Lake Hills section of Fairfield.



Each of the last five weekends featured measured rain at the Bridgeport climate station. Measured rain was recorded Saturday, June 17 (0.01"), Saturday, June 24 (0.13"), Sunday, July 2 (0.21"), Sunday, July 9 (0.13"), Saturday, July 15 (0.01"), and Sunday, July 16 (1.47").

Another beautiful Summer day is ahead under a mostly sunny sky and a high temperature in the mid 80s.
