Apparently the ole temp sensor in the backyard station needs some work. It’s warm, but 90/81/108 at 10:55am seems a touch extreme

The latest estimates I have seen is 2.19C-2.26C (3.9F-4.1F): European land temperatures have increased even faster over the same period by 2.19 to 2.26°C, depending on the dataset used. https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/indicators/global-and-european-temperatures

Lakeshore Keepers is a non-profit organization that maintains five lighthouses along the West Michigan shoreline. We have recently installed live-feed cameras either in the lantern rooms or just outside to be able to give better access to our lights. These cameras can be found here! Lighthouses include: White River Light Station (Muskegon County), Little Sable Point (Oceana County), Ludington North Breakwater (Mason County), Big Sable Point (Mason County), and Manistee North Pier (Manistee County)

I don't know if I would necessarily bet against it, however, I would put forth some caution into the extent of what some of the forecasts are in terms of its strength. I think its just way too premature to start tooting around x,y,z are happening because we have a super-strong that is developing. I still don't necessarily see how a lot of comparisons can be drawn to how the atmosphere is responding to something developing, particularly when it comes to the ocean. There is quite a time lag between ocean-atmosphere response. It's not like the atmosphere is going full EL Nino mode because the ocean is warming...there will be some time before that warming in the Pacific has a full-fledged impact on the atmosphere. For example, most EL Nino's, particularly stronger ones will tend to peak during the Fall at some point and begin to weaken moving through winter, but its not until the winter months in which you see a much stronger correlation to the impacts of EL Nino.

Update: 22 inches as of 9:00 local time today at Darkhorse Lake. I bet if this was July it could be a state record for the month.

Usually the Tuesday before Labor Day. So last yr 8/26. We also don't do the week off in Feb.

Correct

Absolutely, Don. It still would have been another historic heatwave even without AGW but not near as historic as it got due to the added effects from AGW. A larger portion of this extreme heat was very likely due to the pattern, itself, as opposed to AGW, itself. But AGW means a higher baseline as your quote said. The global baseline average has warmed ~2.5F since the late 1800s and not far from that even since just the mid-20th century if I’m not mistaken with the Arctic significantly higher and the tropics lower. How much do you figure the W Europe climate baseline has warmed?

and it's so small you're in Bridgeport or Stamford before you need to stop

Hey now, don't act like you don't know the type of posts I make.

Would you bet against it becoming established??

some may have a very dry week, too. Stein a possibility

When do you start

Lol... I love it John... Spot on!

The last time we hit 100 in this area was 38 years ago on August 18, 1988. I recorded 102 on that day as I was managing a VDOT paving crew. Try that when the pavement is close to 200 out of the plant.. It will melt the soles on your shoes.

I absolutely believe that we break the 1982-83 all time RONI record and also the traditional ONI record. This thing is a monster. I fully expect the new model runs for July to get stronger with the peak

In fact, El Nino summers tend to be cooler ... ? in 2023, some form of Nino was forecast to onset that summer, the whole planet jumped a half click C ( as poorly recognized geological event) before said El Nino arrived. Yet to this day, I still hear the blame. Wrong epistemic/chronological direction. I think though that people toss around conjecture as though it were more substantive than it is. Some are doing it because that's just how people are in groups. Others because they're divisive. Welcome to the human species. LOL

I think we got one two years ago during the evening in February and it was the most impressive thunderstorm (severe warned too) than in many years here. And of course that summer was very quiet

Agree 100% about the volatility of Nino 1+2, but I’m talking about Nino 3.4, for which the latest CFS has a record obliterating high in Nov followed by a record rate of cooling afterward. The CFS’ volatility is not unlike how 1+2 can often be! But it is out on its own with that rapid a cooling of 3.4. And I agree about the atmospheric lag, regardless.

He's convinced now - forecasting 100 on Thursday and 103 on Friday...

Miniature landphoon? Pretty wild whatever it is.

It's more of the fact that everything is being blamed on something which has not yet become established and its not like these episodes of heat and large ridges are solely a response to EL Nino.

Dang it man just why? Lololol

That's late. We ended around 6/10
