Low to mid 90s is typical in the hotter parts of the country in July and August. But dews are usually in the 40s and 50s and there is almost always a decent breeze blowing. Southern Europe goes into its dry season in summer, so I would see rain like twice in all of July and August while there.

the timing is too consistent to be a coincidence

First 70 dews of season. Yes!!’ Go go go !!!

the drop happens slightly before noon and you posted temps from after it

and what about those days it does not happen???

I think maybe he meant the color scheme? That's what I gathered from his post.

nope - see above that is the actual station data

can you show us a photo of your station and its surroundings? looks like some kind of siting issue

Was it hotter but drier in Greece? I wonder if a 100 degree day with a dew point of 58 and humidity of 25% is something which this area can ever even experience again?

DAW 90 84.5° at home

I spent the entire summers in Greece in a lot of our warmest summers in the 1990s here. I wasn't here to experience 1993, 1995, or the 1999 summers.

lmao I told you it looked like an air pollution map from June 2023.... or a map of Mars

I don't know if it's as much of ploy as it is a boneheaded decision. The tidbits colors are ok. The weathermodels map is not so good. But Pivotal takes the cake for worst color scheme. It has deep red for temps in the upper 60s. GTFO with that nonsense.

yes there was

If the climate models were correct, we would all be getting three 100 degree days every summer. Sure some areas are getting hotter but it's not as widespread as we thought it would be and the warming is affecting our winters much more than our summers. These models need to be tweaked to account for what we're actually seeing. Which is higher mins and a blunting of extreme highs in the summer.

what about those other days and why does it happen at the same time

Yeah and I'm driving to northern Maine and then through to P.E.I. Sounds like it could be some crappy driving in spots.

No drop yesterday.....

They actually make it look like things are cooling. Since the more recent climate normals are the warmest on record. Our warmer summers patttern bagan back in 2010. So when we use more recent climate normals they appear cooler than the climate normals did over 20 years ago.

Big move south by the 12K NAM but it's a garbage model so who knows - edit-the RGEM moved a bit south at 12z so maybe it's onto something

Won't have to go far either

Show me the statistical data and reason and reference any station relatively nearby showed the need for a 3 to 4 degree adjustment during those years...

Maybe the heat from the continents is heating the western basins more quickly? The same thing seems to be happening in the Western Atlantic.

Man wish I could go to the beach.

Still a decent chance, probably based more on Kansas and the Colorado Front Range based on climo. Good luck.
