Temperatures made it to near and above 70 in most spots this afternoon, despite plentiful clouds. I did see a few hints of blue, so I know it’s still up there. Gray skies are in no hurry to get out of here, which means more of the same is in our future. Or — more of the same but with continued slight warming.

       Clouds rule: As the forecasts recently show in abundance, clouds are our thing at the moment. Sometimes you wonder if it’s real or if it’s imagined. In this case, the data backs it up big time: Sixty percent of lunchtime observations have been cloudy this May. That’s compared with an average of 33 percent. Every month except February has featured above-average cloud cover in the midday. The story is similar at other times, as well.
