I did some digging and turns out it’s something called “rain”. It’s a relatively common weather phenomenon across some parts of the world. Exciting to see it so close by!

Getting the first glimmer of leaf change in the usual low lying, wetland area.

There are a lot of green, yellow and orange returns showing up on radar in southeast Wisconsin. I’ll investigate what it could be.

MPO made it down to 41° at the end of August which was the coolest since 2000. But not really that cold prior to 2000. The drier conditions allowed them to make it to the 11th coldest reading for August.

What a week coming up.. Next week looks dry and unseasonably warm with highs in the 80s inland! Summer is not over yet! Keep the pools open and the boats in the water.

Lol

haven't mowed my lawn in probably two weeks - it would be mostly running over walnuts anyway. seeing lots of trees starting to pop with color, especially near the lakes on my way to work in the morning. patchy fog has been the most exciting part of the past five days otherwise.

Upstate heatwave

We’ll get it briefly in early nov and probably early April as a few mangled, fat flakes and as usual, everything in between will be variations of chilly and warm rain, mixed in with occasional periods of 65 degree mist and fog. Of course, northern New England is a whole different realm so you know they’ll have their many moments of glory.

Ha...sentence about proofreading wasn't proofread

The top 5 analog years are all in the last 5 years. How have you done in the last 5 years? The next two weeks should have a trough in the NE N. Pacific. If people are freaking out about warm SSTAs there, there really shouldn't be a strong, persistent trough developing but the atmosphere comes first and SSTs 2nd. In 2 weeks the warm water in the Gulf of Alaska should cool..

Lol. I didn't notice that. Should or proof read.

I’ve had less than 1” rain since June 20.

Especially since Capital Region Water is gonna start drawing out of the river soon. They will shut down Dehart supply to fix pipes I think for about 2 weeks.

I dunno,dont shoot the messenger,but it seems to be more related to the ENSO,IN 1980 our subforum into NC and the east coast would be saying bring it on,maybe a coincidence,i have know clue,planetary waves can take weeks if not months to have effects in NA, but both of these years i stated above seem to be more of developing ELNino,not NINA with a SWE in the SP https://www.weather.gov/mhx/Mar011980EventReview

I was going to say...see you around Thanksgiving. Regardless, have an amazing time!

Yes it does.

Yikes days lol 5 in Copenhagen, 5 in Stockholm

the only real dip we had was in 2020 during the pandemic, when not coincidentally, air and water pollution also got much less.

whats causing the increase in consumption Don? something that no one likes to talk about but is a fundamental problem with society today is population growth. I know it's not as much of a problem in Westernized nations but it's most definitely a problem in the Developing world. The UN estimates the population will stabilize around 11 billion in 2080 and they'd better be right, one of the major reasons for all this usage of energy and resources is the earth simply cannot support a human population more than about 11 billion-- it's the carrying capacity of humans on the planet.

averages dropping quick now

Wow, where are you heading? Iceland?

I wish we had this weather April through October.. its been perfect!

Ha, dummy bet. Yet watch there be a BARREN basin of nothing 9/15-10/5 , beyond these posts
