Less humid so far than recent summers, but still above avg.

90 here.

There is nothing redeeming about the smoke. It is more annoying than a dry slot in winter.

I’m including spring which was very cocky and even brutally cold/raw at times.

Canada needs to get it together

Temps through 10AM are running 3 - 5 - 7 behind the 100+ heat from Jul 1-4.

High ? It’s been a very humid summer . And top 3-5 warnersf

86/72 in central Calvert and the sky is blue for now. Our daughter is in Alpena in northern MI for work and sent this picture. That is BAD

looks like smoke will hold down temps today

Accumulating ash

Friday morning looks the worst for us?

Nasty

115° Miles City. 102° Thunder Bay That was a pretty good ridge with the ring of fire well up into the prairie provinces. Days and days of storm complexes with CGs over the boreal forests. Then we advect it around the ridge into our region.

I was down in you area this weekend for a lacrosse tournament and pretty much all full sun lawns were pretty brown, I'm sure its getting worse every day. Still mostly green here, but its definitely starting to see the the initial stages of drought stress. I don't water my lawn or have irrigation, but watering my new plants much more often than last month.

My ice fishing spot, near the forested island about 1/4 mile from the Rt 41 boat launch. Three whiffs and we struck out yesterday. (Or got smoked out) Had a sprinkle at 10 AM but the opportunities at 6 and 10 PM offered nothing except some grumbles to scare our dog. All 3 passed to our west.

Enso does not respond nor produce same effects as 20 years agob

massive bust. so it goes

Following the+10F rule of thumb for DCA from 10am temp, DCA high today will be 98

Meh... 8.5 billion almost guarantees that it would take something just shy of the planet disintegrating into a new asteroid belt around the sun to get rid of everyone. More likely, there will be upsets in the constructs of civility as we know it, part of which will be population correction event(s). Whether that comes in instantaneous calamities or generationally, it's forced one way or the other. Some remain though. Ironically, this whole disclosure phenom sweeping society has this huge abstraction of "ontological shock" - talk hyperbole! geesh. But, ironically ... probably it won't be about technology that's been hidden from the machinery of civility since 1947... like harnessing 0 point/quantum blizzum blazzum, or gravity propulsion... whatever the fuck I suppose it isn't impossible. No, no more likely any real ontological shock over the next while is going to come for the vast majority that couldn't or would believe it, now ... can't believe they are actually dying because of decades of impudence to the crisis. Anyway, if the 0 point bs and anti grav is true... that would help save this thing. problem is, the Earth has not caught up yet... Even if we immediately stopped adding and forcing,... the apex of the crisis is calculated geo-physically to be still out there decades off. There needs to be a offset/correction plan. Otherwise, the temp will continue to rise faster than species adaptation rates, and humanity is betting its future on hope. Heh, you know ... our species figuratively sold our souls to tech ... now, it appears tech is going to have to save our souls.

That, or you’re in love

Mostly mid 80s on the mesonet. So will take some work to hit widespread 100, especially with some smoky skies

Ten years ago was when the 2016 nino altered our base state to be warmer thanks to climate change. Since then we’ve dealt with that consequence by having often warm winters which lack in the snowfall department, so I’d imagine the base state change is probably a major player for the fires as well.

Thick smoky sky in Rhinebeck currently with a light smell of smoke at the surface. Flashbacks to 2023. Can’t even feel the sun at the moment.
