Over the years Ive read/seen numerous long range pre winter forecasts predicting a major snowstorm in February ...some have even gone out on a limb and predicted the weather will warm in March......

Please change thread title to either Julorch or Julace .

Lucky! At least you get to cool down to 58 every night. Further south here it won’t dip below 75 at night this whole week.

I find the argument over how to measure temperature so interesting. A big point of my climate near the ground course was the idea of what makes a measure standard and for who is that standard useful. For instance, we take the 2m shade as our “normal” temperature measure. Yet, conditions near the ground are almost always subadabatic during daytime conditions and can be several degrees (even 10+ in extreme circumstances!) degrees C warmer closer to 1m and below. Not to mention we take the shaded measurement when midday in most environments (besides forest) sun is dominant. We also try to control environments to be flat and clear; meanwhile, the majority of lived places aren’t that! Of course, the 2m shade/open areas are the standard due to it accounting for variables, but too often we forget those complications exist in the first place. Makes me wonder if there should be “real feel” weather stations say 1.5m on the street of NYC or DC where people actually experience weather to best capture the experience of how weather impacts people.

What???

It's the overnight temps that bake us. Down south 95/75 or more for months was the norm. But even down there when we had a stretch of night time lows over 80 with dews riding just below the temps it was considered kind of like a heatwave. 25 miles inland and east into central SC is BRUTAL this time of year with Colombia often being the highest temp in the country. I was inland SC when it was 110/87 back in 2012. I mean you couldn't freakin' breathe and I was used to the heat. No breeze at all in those parts lol. This will be good prep for my trip, although I have lived up here long enough that what use to be normal heat for me is pushing it. The big cities in the East are in for it I fear.

Just picked up a quick inch with severe warned storm that popped up. A small break in the heat for this week.

After today's heavy rain, going to be ugly the next 3 days.

91 today

Heavy rains this aftrn. Looks like 2-3" around here. That was most welcome.

A+!

Ray?

Still going. About to take on the upper peninsula.

12Z GEFS has seasonal temps/heat after this current blowtorch concludes. It’s selling this look July 6th all the way till the end of the run. I see a lot of low-mid 80s high temps ahead, which I don’t think anyone will complain about.

Well…the big heat (90+ for me) doesn’t start until 7/1. But tip o the cap to CT Blizz and the others who forecast a bump in temps. today and tomorrow are awesome.

My favorite pre winter prediction is when someone predicts there will be a major snowstorm in February...

I'm consistently 'contributory', but you are entitled to your opinion. I won't comment on your value here......................................................... No kicks. I just tell it like it is. And my 'mental issues' have nothing to do with my age.

Fri-Sun (mostly Sunday) we picked up another 1.6". That puts us at 4.6" for the month of June. Have to go back to last August to see a higher monthly total. Hopefully that offshore lemon develops and gets July off to a good start.

Modeled for weeks.

Day 1 of the heatwave is a bust here. Managed to make it to 70 so far. Socked in all day.

For accuracy measuring the actual temperature, it is important. My station gets "sun soaked" briefly early afternoon this time of year, and I discard those readings.

Some districts have added so many holidays that summer's down to 8 weeks

Big heat is kinda boring as a weather event. Just have to deal. Luckily it wont last that long this time.
