I was curious about that too, and AI told me this- Spain’s national weather records do go back much further than 1961, but the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) uses 1961 as the baseline for its official homogeneous national climate series. This specific starting point represents the moment Spain achieved a wide, dense, and uniform network of reliable weather stations across the entire territory.

Lasted 20 minutes doing garden labor before checking out... this sucks. Bring on the 50s.

Nothing burger here. Rainer and great lightning but that’s it

As old as Europe is, records only go back to 1961??

Lazy Sunday and I am being lazy although I should be out in the sauna doing yard work. Drinking a DFH 120- last year's limited release edition. Not sure if this is gonna motivate me to get outside or not. Probably not lol.

As per usual the first round crapped out on approach. Should reform to the east and hit the same areas that usually get it. Next chance will be early tomorrow morning.

Sounds awesome. Gonna need some evidence posted here.

Hard to find a day w/DPs below 70F...

Is it not reasonable to go warm in the GL/NE for a super Nino? That’s common knowledge. It will be above normal in the mean. Sure we can discuss how it might not be an all out torch (and I think it can be prevented given that we might shut down MC convection), but above normal is an easy call.

Yeah I Got a few drops last evening when that storm over Durham looked so powerful and I Was like great we will get some rain, but just enough to dampen the road here. It died just about 3/4 miles to my west. Thunder was nice and continuous though for a little while. MTD: .51" here so far.

Fort Collins had the hottest July on record with 77.5 average temperature and two days over 100. July 26 was an absurd high 101 low 67 with a trace of rain. That's too warm for the nighttime.

Interesting in reviewing the data it is apparently an already altered and processed product and not raw! What about 1855–1892? That's the honest attraction — 462 months, 35 complete years, entirely predating your Source File. But it fails your own standards on three counts: Monthly means only. Your Source schema is daily: High, Low, Avg Temp, Precip, Snow, Sn Cover. There's nothing to put in those columns. It's a processed product, not raw. Your standing rule is raw observations only, no estimated or filled values. This has passed through CRU's pipeline and carries an undocumented adjustment. The 1.32 °C offset almost certainly extends backward. The bias is present throughout the checkable period and drifts at +0.126 °C/dec. Pre-1893 values are probably ~1.3–1.5 °C too cold relative to your network, and there's nothing to calibrate against.

August 9 1948: 7.72 inches of rain falls at Mankato. For Sunday, August 9, 2026 1878 - The second most deadly tornado in New England history struck Wallingford CT killing 34 persons, injuring 100 others, and completely destroying thirty homes. The tornado started as a waterspout over a dam on the Quinnipiac River. It was 400 to 600 feet wide, and had a short path length of two miles. (The Weather Channel) 1969 - A tornado hit Cincinnati OH killing four persons and causing fifteen million dollars property damage. The tornado moved in a southeasterly direction at 40 to 50 mph. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - Florida baked in the summer heat. Nine cities reported record high temperatures for the date, including Jacksonville with a reading of 101 degrees. Miami FL reported a record high of 98 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Tropical Storm Beryl deluged Biloxi with 6.32 inches of rain in 24 hours, and in three days drenched Pascagoula MS with 15.85 inches of rain. Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Southern Plains Region and over the Central High Plains Region. Thunderstorms in Oklahoma produced wind gusts to 92 mph at Harrah. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Evening thunderstorms in Arizona deluged Yuma with record torrential rains for the second time in two weeks. The rainfall total of 5.25 inches at the Yuma Quartermaster Depot established a state 24 hour record, and was nearly double the normal annual rainfall. Some of the homes were left with four feet of water in them. Seventy-six cities in the south central and eastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date. Lake Charles LA equalled their record for August with a low of 61 degrees. Canaan Valley WV was the cold spot in the nation with a low of 32 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1992 - A tornado packing winds estimated between 113 and 157 mph caused significant damage to the town of Chester, South Dakota. Shortly after 7 pm CDT a tornado tore right through the heart of Chester causing considerable damage. Four businesses were destroyed, three others had significant damage, and five had minor damage. An elevator and new grain bin were leveled, and another bin was heavily damaged. Most of the building housing the fire department was demolished. Also, many houses and vehicles sustained damage, and large trees were uprooted or broken off. In one instance a steel beam was thrust through a garage and into the car inside. One mile north of Chester, an entire house was moved off the foundation. The town had to be evacuated for 19 hours after the tornado because the tornado damaged a 12,000-gallon ammonia tank releasing 4,000 gallons of the liquid gas into the air. The ammonia was a health hazard forcing residents out. To the south of Chester, the storm destroyed a new convenience store and blew two fuel tanks over 100 yards.

You know it’s been humid when a 61F dew point feels refreshing… 8-10 lower than yesterday afternoon.

Hmm, not sure. I go to North Wildwood NJ. because the waves are better, versus Dewey Beach and the Inlet here in Delaware. I did hear there were jelly fish at some Delaware beaches, but I have not heard about any at the lower Southern NJ beaches such as Cape May, the Wildwoods and Stone Harbor. I believe Delaware beaches are more prone to stinging jelly fish due to the effects of the Delaware Bay incubator effect. Also, North Wildwood is more exposed to open water and more active currents lessening stinging jelly swarms. The Cheasapeake Bay might be responsible for more jelly fish activity on the MD beaches due to salinity this year because of the drought, calmer surf and warmer temps in the Chessy .

These dudes are crazy rn. Also sorry for spamming the thread but ya these dudes are nuts

August is now too humid to easily produce 100 degree days.

Thunder is crazy.

MD beaches are dealing with a jellyfish swarm. wonder if it is because of El Niño.

Man was it miserable running with this humidity. Just zero evapotranspiration from the skin. I mean the sweat was squelching in my shoes after seven miles this morning.
