I forgot to add 2023-4 MEI bimonthlies, which peaked at only +1.1 in ND: https://psl.noaa.gov/enso/mei/ @LibertyBell

-The 23-24 season ONI trimonthlies maxed at +1.95 in NDJ: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices/oni.ascii.txt -The 23-24 season RONI trimonthlies maxed at +1.50 in OND: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices/RONI.ascii.txt

Well, just like with rome, good riddance to it.

I didnt do anything. it was like watching rome burn

Maybe we are cycling back to longer and more intense heatwaves in the East now..... it's frustrating for all those records to be from the 40s and 50s and 60s and for a few years in the 90s. We need to end the corn and soy subsidies in the MW, those crops ramp up the humidity.

.59 on the day here. Quarter inch this afternoon and evening.

Congrats you got OT shut down (finally!!)

.61 here

Hi

Total screw job here but I kinda suspected that was the case when it was taking the storm even longer than usual to get into E MA. My internal antenna told me the storm is weakening..Not whining just stating what eventually happened

Maybe that was the reason for some of the scorching summers we had in the 40s and 50s (that and all the nuke testing.) I know this idea has been floated around to explain the extremely hot summers of 1944, 1948, 1949, 1953, 1955.

1.66 of rain in Marysville today. We need a few weeks with minimal rain to dry everything out.

I'm glad we are finally getting a real hot summer here. I can do without all this rain though, I can't stand how bugs overpopulate in the rain.

with the extreme heat we had already in June (matching and even exceeding 2010), I'm optimistic about a -NAO next winter.

I don't know man, we've had massive flooding and a lightning strike just burned down a house near here tonight. I like my summers dry, wet summers mean more bugs and then I have to spray pesticides everywhere to kill them off.

I'm glad we exceeded 100 even with the wetter weather.

no that corn and soybean crap makes it much worse, increasing the humidity and turning the region into a sauna.

Trend south and jump over central/northern MD you mean? Boooooo...lol

23-24 was a super el nino? I thought our last one was in 15-16?

Finally back and late to party but I was scared for first time in many years as events unfolded on Route 32 around 3pm I don’t even want to recount it so let me read the discussions

wow lightning struck a house about two towns away from me and it caught fire and burned down a three story house!!!

Not even that here. I95 force field in full affect. Usually we can get some rain, but not even that today

It’s certainly a warm look

I suppose philosophically you could argue, in the 1930s the central part of the U.S. was a dust bowl, it has been rescued from that condition and probably won't entirely return to it, so highs set in the 1930s all around the country should be modified for "climate continuity." But the fact is, those were real temperatures experienced by real people. Just as Central Park with all its trees is now the new reality there. It is what it is. We can compare values with that knowledge and form conclusions about what they mean about the "real climate." As to the new normal of interior western heat waves, that is not being caused by terrain modification (the terrain is the same as always) but by a weaker upper flow at those latitudes as the jet stream migrates north on average further into n.w. Canada. This is why we're seeing more frequent super heat waves in the west. It did happen in the past too but not as frequently. As one person told me, a national forest in Nevada is where you can see a tree from the shade of another tree. Lightning finds it pretty easy to pick those trees off one at a time, I've actually seen it happen. 98F here today, but the dew point in the 50s makes it relatively tolerable.

Not even enough to wet the ground here
