Low was 48.6 here, currently 48.8/48.1, wonderful!

names?

59 this morning! Time to break out the solar cover for the pool. Enjoy the cooldown everyone!

Not here. And who says I can't go by climate normals? People who push an agenda maybe?

LMAOOOO IT MOVED OVER ACCORDING TO CYCLONEEYE 3. South of Southern Mexico: An area of low pressure could form this weekend offshore of the coast of Central America and southern Mexico. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this system early next week while it moves generally west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

It didn’t even begin for Gabrielle then

Can’t really go be departures anymore since the 1991-2020 climate normals are so much warmer. This has been a top 5 and top 10 warmest summer for the Northeast. Place like Long Island have seen one of their warmest summers like all the 2020s summers.

I looked and was surprised to see June was just +0.6 and July +1.4 (DCA). Check out this stretch in 2012 end of June beginning of July. And weren't a lot of people out of power for days after that derecho in late June?

58 degree's on another beautiful drive in to work.

Odd. Harrisburg (MDT) is already -1.6 for August thru yesterday and will end the month much lower. June was only +1.3 and July +2.5. The 3 summer months could easily end averaging barely AN.

Solar is accelerating rapidly in Africa. This is mainly due to economics, lower cost of solar panels and batteries.

49 for me.

Glorious morning.

Low of 51

This summer continued the theme of warm to record warm conditions during the 2020s with strong -EPO +PNA patterns. Very warm summers in the Northeast used to be more -PNA +EPO. This is also the strongest Southeast Ridge with this pattern. Warmer Northeast summer composite prior to 2015-2016 Super El Nino

I posted a few weeks ago when this cold snap started showing up on the ensembles that I believe late summer/early fall cold snaps are indicative of a better chance of colder winters. I think I said it wasn't a guarantee, but that colder winters often feature them. Time will obviously tell what happens, but it's at least a reason to remain optimistic at this point if you prefer cold/snowy. September's updated monthly forecasts "should" start to hone in one way or the other.

August 15 - September 15…. Best month of the year?

Chilly low of 45.9. Beautiful sunrise.

We should finish with a slightly cooler August against the warmest 1991-2020 climate normals. But since we have been warming so fast, it would just be average for recent 30 year climate eras. Anytime we get a cooler month in recent years, we eventually see a warm departure of a greater magnitude than the cooler month was. This was the case with the spring warmth after the slightly cooler winter. Also last fall with some cooler conditions early on before we experienced record warmth by October and early November.

Yep it was in my western sky. It was definitely bright for a split second.

Numerous papers on this new summer warming pattern of cooler in the middle and record warmth in the East and West.

I’m driving to work with the windows down. It feels great.
