hmmm well it is Colorado, maybe was trying to put an order in for edibles

It looks like +9C is about to pop in the subsurface on TAO/Triton!

Joe Bastardi got rich off that with snowstorms and winter weather fans in the late 1990s and 2000s.

lol at moral and ethical issues; moral or legal boundaries are fungible in our economic system

Board has been sluggish and loading slowly today. Had to double check there wasnt a 48" nor'easter modeled for NYC...

unprecedented

We've now had a tad over 3 inches of rain over the last seven days. We're in the Falls watershed near Laurel Creek (a couple of miles SE of the NC50/NC98 intersection) so we drain into Falls Lake. Hopefully a trend ...

Briefly hit 60 around 1 pm. Temps dropping again, with rain on the doorstep. BTW, is ev1 else having a slow time of it here today? Site seems to be running heavy.

Warmer for sure here today, and earlier, and sunnier- also less of the chilly N/NE wind we had yesterday. DP at 1 PM here was 62, the highest I've seen in a long time when it wasn't actively raining. All we need is lift.

I agree. Indeed, one location in coastal France beat its all-time record that was set just yesterday by 4.0C (7.2F).

Same problem today, particularly slow loading.

I don't know any specifics but it seems like an EM tried to issue a non-weather related message (like an AMBER alert or the like) and got it real wrong.

Is anyone else intermittently seeing “bad gateway” error code 502 messages and sometimes having trouble with long delays in reading and posting with it saying the problem is with the host, AmericanWx BB? It’s the worst I can recall here! I’m not seeing this with any other sites.

First full week of July looking cool-ish

The code 502 errors are really bad today with big slowdowns here! OHC climbing back and may soon reach April 20th highs for 2026:

sort of a secondary statistical remarkable nature here in that since these records in some cases are back-to-back consecutive days warmer than the prior record means that the aggregate exposure of this is unique. It'll make the integrated heat wave energy probably a GOAT

fine but hype-clickbait isn't changing

Thanks for doing this. Are you also asking for max July temps like you did for June?

Long range looks super hot and mostly dry. Not good.

Not contesting that. It still does not change that it is detrimental to the public b/c of misinformation or gross exaggeration, or the ethical and moral issues.

Hype = revenue. not changing

Heat is coming

Something to keep in mind w/ the fcst upcoming heat and big ridge in the CONUS, and a good FYI b/c I have found the MSM and others had no concept of perspective and context, let alone wx history. 600 dm 500 mb height is often used a benchmark for record heat. But it is *far* more common than one would think, just by RAOBs alone. Attached is a .txt list I got some years ago of all 600+ dm height for NAMR RAOBs. It has occurred 199 times from 1957-2006 - hardly a rare occurrence overall. In recent decades, we tend to see 600 dm height on model analyses and forecasts more b/c the resolution of the models has increased significantly, so that's not really an apples to apples comparison as to change in frequency over time. RAOBs are in situ, directly measured, not model output. Of note in the list: 604.5 dm Adak AK (ADK) July 1980 That high that far N?...wow. But it makes sense, there was an intense heat wave/drought in the CONUS that summer, so upstream was also quite anomalous! What kind of sigma deviation value would show up here I wonder? You know, those 500 mb height values used by climate alarmists -- e.g. "a one in a 75 million year occurrence!" Which is obviously bunk. The wx in the real world doesn’t follow a Gaussian/normal distribution curve. Extreme events are far more common in a non-Gaussian distribution that reflects the physical world we live in. This is a case of lying or conflating an issue using statistics. 602.6 dm Wallops Island VA (WAL) July 1986 Make sense, SEUS very hot that month. 609.0 dm Chatham MA (CHH) Sep 1989 This was the very strong ridge that flung Hurricane Hugo into SC, and the highest on record for Mid-Atlantic or NEUS in the period. I do recall this ridge, and seeing Sable Island, Nova Scotia RAOB 600 dm. Somehow I missed the CHH value! And it was *not* record heat anywhere on the E Coast. Very tropical and warm for mid-Sep, but not that hot. 612.2 dm Peachtree City GA (FFC) Sep 1994 For a lower elevation location, relatively speaking, that is amazing. Most 600+ dm values are found in high elevation sites. 11 instances of 610.0 dm or higher in the data, enough to suggest that this is attainable w/o equipment error. 601.0 dm Whitehorse YK (YXY) Feb and Oct 1996 Again, that high that far N?, and one in Feb no less! Goes to show it is not always a warm season phenomena, let alone associated w/ record warm temps (why heat done is misleading). In early Feb 1996 there was record Arctic outbreak in the CONUS w/ Tower MN dropping to -60 F. namr600hgt1.txt

"Intense heat destroys even the temper of steel..."-George Prentice. It was that kind of day in France, Spain, and the UK today. In Paris, no relief was found under the trees of Jardin du Luxembourg as the mercury rose to 42.2C (108.0F). The UK recorded its hottest June temperature on record with a high of 36.1C (97.0F) at Gosport. As a result of the ongoing heatwave, which is France's worst June heatwave on record, 2026 already accounts for the second most all-time record high temperatures for any calendar year.
