Stars of August are here, but so too is persistent evening cloud cover. Predictions for the week upcoming are not promising, and it’s very possible we’re going to miss this one. Nevertheless, check here for daily updates and let’s see what the weather has in store. Charts for the month are linked below, along with a self-guided commentary. Give them a look if you find yourself somewhere in the clear. Fingers crossed we have better luck in the days ahead.
