Just returned from Shediac where they had some heavy downpours but the shower activity has been skirting passed Moncton it seems! Warm and very sticky here again.

With the humidity as high as it is, the rain sure will feel like the tropics!

Rainfall warning has now been issued for Moncton and SE NB.

We had some spotty downpours move through the area earlier today but it has been quiet for the past while. Looks to be some cells inland.

Very convective nature to the weather this afternoon. An impressive cell just pushing through between Miramichi and Moncton. Seems in Moncton we are in a "void" stuck between two bands of persistent convective showers.

[kosh]

Hoping they get the Chipman radar operational soon. Again this evening there are problems. The last few frames are over two hours old.

[kosh]

Lightning to the south and east of the city right now. A narrow band of precipitation is pushing up from the bay of Fundy, looks like some embedded thunder showers are in the band.

[dmi]

We picked up 16 mm of rain here earlier this morning in heavy showers. in fact it was coming down so hard it woke me several times.

[Relliott]

It was wet here yesterday, but not extreme. There were a few heavy downpours and a couple rumbles of thunder. We received 30 mm here yesterday and overnight. Light rain is falling at the moment. It is still humid.

[PGZwicker]

Still raining here, 22.4C/88% humidity. Feels like this should be a tropical storm.

We are now under a rainfall warning. The rain is most certainly needed. Hoping for some thunder!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean.

With the high humidity, rain, high temps.

It almost seem like there is a tropical storm lurking. Luckily there is no such thing. However, I also would not mind an exciting lighting show.
We may still get some interesting weather later on tonight.

Radar at the present time is showing some rain activity in your area in the next 1/2 hour or so, as with here.
A couple of high level clouds echoes but they are well off the coast. Damn!

[Relliott]

The rain seems to be tappering off here,at least for now. I have recorded 52.4 mm for a storm total, 37 mm has fallen here since midnight.

damn! Well, we can't have it all now can we

Really impressive amount of rain though.

What a weather week! I actually weeded the garden in the rain on Sunday because it just felt so good after all that heat. Besides, I'm not made of sugar and as such will not melt in the rain

[Sidereal]

55 mm rain in PEI over the two days. Looking forward to drying out.

[dmi]

More heavy rain overnight and early this morning for a two day total of 60 mm.

[PGZwicker]

Just checked the rain gauge and after getting another 32mms today our grand total since Saturday night is 90mms!!

okay, thanks great for now! I'd like to dry out

[BeefJerky]

We've got about 35 mm coming our way. It'll break all the heat and humidity we've had here this past week.

[cumulusgranite]

We got 60+mm rain yesterday ( with some almost torrential downpours).

Sheesh, 300 cubits by 50 cubits by 30 cubits started to flash through my head at one point....
