A quick scan suggests that since 2010, no summer has finished below 55th out of 135 on the warmest summers list. If you take being in the bottom 50% as a "cool summer", they are literally history for now. The last time we had a cool summer/bottom 50% of the totals in MDT history was in 2009 unless I missed one in scanning. Every one of the next 14 summers has been above the 50% line.

Sorry to the climate alarmists on this site.....you won't appreciate this info.....but only 4% of USHCN stations have reached 80°F so far this year, which year-to-date, is fourth lowest on record since 1895 behind 2011, 1995 and 1935, and is about the same was 1924. The peak year was not surprisingly 1934. The top five years are 1934, 1936, 1969, 1939 and 1914. Why no such years in the last 55 years??

Oh we’re you saying “too long, didn’t read” - I thought it was some sort of city or county abbreviation but couldn’t figure out what it could possibly be.

69/46 nice evening by the grill. Finishing May with 2.5" of precip...high of 89 on the 22nd.

I said it in reference to the forecaster who almost always taints toward being warm. Look back to 2021 when both June and Aug were over 3AN at MDT. 5 of the top 8 warmest summers are over the last 10 years and are close to or warmer than MU's forecast. For this year take a +1 in 2 months and a +4 in one and that is a +6, which is near (within a degree or two) or below all of the 5 summers referenced above. It is not cool of course but norm for the new reality. Once of these years we are going to have all 3 summer months break anomalies of 4 or more each month.

What a freakin day. 100% COC sorry for the humidity humpers, as it doesn’t get much better

Sure looking like middle of June is going to be cooler than normal.

77 was my high. It actually ended up warmer than I expected.

‘Really kind of doubting that’ll happen for at least the next 2 weeks. Especially over NTX/ETX where there’s been lots of convective stuff going on quite persistently since end of April. Even starting June now, there’s still lots of significant influence from SS still in place over all of the state. Which isn’t typical on summer’s doorstep now. Especially down around here. Models (especially Euro & ensembles) just got way too excited on the typical, controlling furnace 500Mb High this time of year really taking over the state a few weeks ago. And we’ve been basically getting the exact opposite of that.

Steined through next Thursday?

Doesn’t get any better. San Diego weather.

No choice once he realizes he installed it backwards.

Actually, just speaking from personal observation, it's the Sun. Does higher CO2 deplete the ozone to make the sun shine brighter to ground heat?

67/44. Beautiful night Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

What? I don’t know what TL or DR means, but those monthly anomalies would result in one of the hottest summers on record surely.

Killington was pretty fun this past Sunday. Walking required, but not bad. Chance of rain seemed to keep the crowds down. Skiing was fine with a few decent icy trough bump lines to be had. Met some pretty hardcore riders on the lift, one guy had skied 194 days this past season. Day 100 for me, I’m probably done. Good to end on a nice round number.

Watching evolution & southward progression of the new MCCs ongoing in the hill country (northwest of Austin), and in NM going into tonight, as of typing this. Looks to definitely effect San Antonio area this evening. - - - Got a strong outflow front from the MCS moving through Houston area and out over the Gulf earlier this morning with some 50 mph gusts and heard some nice CGs, along with some more modest rainfall. Things are probably too stable now over NTX - SETX for much of anything else through tonight from this morning’s sharply organized system. But would think it’ll pick up again in those regions by later tomorrow/night. Especially with some better ML shortwave energy projected to track through the state at times this weekend on both Euro & GFS.

With apologies to May 30th, Mike Vecchione is turning into Mr. June.

76 today. Beautiful

WGAL throws down the gauntlet and says you may need an umbrella for Sunday golf in Lanco.

Right now, SPC has a Marginal Risk for west/middle TN. As BB tweeted earlier, if we can get some instability tomorrow, the kinematics are there. One must wonder if this is a sleeper threat that should be upgraded to a Slight Risk sooner rather than later?

A Historically great end to May weather wise

May 2024 averaged 69.3 degrees at DCA, tied for 16th warmest in DC history (2015 is warmest at 73.2 and 1882 is coolest at 59.2). January-May 2024 at DCA averaged 53.2, 4th warmest in DC history, behind 2012 (54.4), 2023 (53.7), and 2017 (53.3).

This is how you draw up a Saturday to start June. BTV is certainly enthused. We can look forward to a warming trend as we begin meteorological summer. Saturday looks to be gorgeous days for outdoor activities, with highs 74-82, plentiful sunshine and comfortable humidity. Area waters are still on the cool side with water temperatures in the low to mid 60s. Given that it is the weekend and with sunny condition and temperatures reaching the low 80s, cold water safety should be exercised for those taking advantage of the gorgeous weather. While upper ridging builds in from the west, we do maintain a light northerly flow below 850mb level so the air mass will be continental polar in nature. Dew points will be in the 40s so the weather will be gorgeous to be outdoors.
