Drink?

I called this snoozer.

So much for everyone saying we can't have Super Nino's so close together. That's what I want to stress with a lot of this ENSO stuff, historical data isn't extensive and different periods of time have different conditions that are not universal constants.

54 and rain at 0z on the 22nd of June would be something.

I'm just tired of the Debbie Downer attitude from CoastalWx. Might as well call him EEYORE!

Everything is always green. We haven't been in a true drought since 2002.

I know this heat index sound impressive, but did you know that in the Middle East, it can go *far* higher? Every July-August at Qeshm Island, Iran (METAR code OIKQ), dew points routinely get into the 90s, and on some mornings, the heat index exceeds 150. A few years ago in August, they had 100/97 for a heat index of nearly 180! This is in the Persian Gulf. These very high readings occur in the morning w/ fog is present and light winds off the water. These readings are accurate looking at the daily observations, where the dew points are very high overnight and in the morning, only to mix out quickly by the afternoon and drop quite a bit. Population of the island is 149,000. Takeaways here are that it goes to show humans can endure far higher heat indices and do just fine, and what happens in the Middle East makes heat indices in the U.S. look like a walk in the park, relatively speaking. Context and perspective are important when discussing wx extremes and impacts.

I have been researching this for my upcoming blog....2015 had it somewhat, but it was much more pronounced in 2023.

Wait what?! 3-5” around here.

Today worked out pretty well. Performed as it should have

Decent drink in this general area - I didn't look but guessing .75" to 1" or so

lol....Stein won out for some, he's always lurking

Beautiful sunset! NAM sounding expertly shows the distribution of the mid/high level clouds needed to make this sunset work

This is comical……in a drought….severe for most and y’all looking months ahead like our moisture problem is just going to magically disappear

Amazing stuff - well done

You can't make this up...the entire system looks to be drying up compared to earlier today. Wow

El-nino is really paying off.

There's a big chunk of rain coming up from the SSW on radar. I can actually trust this sort of setup to reach us vs. coming from the West. Unless it finds yet another new way to fail after dark.

Another deluge this morning. .11"

The Weather Forums is the best: https://theweatherforums.com/index.php?/forum/3-the-weather-forums/ Here, you have pretty much unlimited attachments, and discussion is much more civil.

We got a smudge of rain today. Now the cells are going around Wake. One cell is going north the other is going south.

Look at the current radar! Can't make this crap up...southern wake missing again...sigh

Rain literally died before reaching the foothills
