Yep - sun is out in NW DC. Here we go.
-
some locations have broken all time maximum temperature records... IN WINTER.
-
Not remotely our region, but folks need to know what is going on in southern South America right now. Temps pushing 40C in the middle of winter at mid-latitude locations, some with elevation (1500+m). Hard to contemplate.

Phoenix Registers Hottest Month on Record for Any U.S. City
pazzo83 replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
The South American heat wave ongoing is one of the most insane weather/climate events I've ever seen. Temps pushing 40C in the middle of winter at the mid latitudes. WTF. -
Frost out at Canaan with lows in the low 30s.
-
likely 97F at DCA
-
95 at DCA now - I believe this is the warmest temp of the year there?
-
94/76 in upper NW for a heat index of 107.
-
pretty shitty out rn
-
South wind will screw it up - guaranteed.

I think if you took a period of record prior to the year 2000 and looked at Antarctic sea ice anomalies, you'd find they were approximately normally distributed. Of course perhaps now they aren't because there is rapid change going on.
-
Case in point - today's low at DCA was 75 after a pedestrian high of 86.
-
relative to the rest of the country, we have certainly gotten off easy so far. Although it's just kinda following the theme of the year. Nothing extreme... it's just warm.
-
You're also conflating the raw calculation of std deviation (which is divorced from whether or not the data is normally distributed) vs a recurrence interval (which requires the PDF) - and the latter isn't mentioned in the tweet.
-
show your work in claiming that antarctic sea ice extent isn't normally distributed. and you can still calculate SD/recurrence probability on non-normal distributions as long as you can construct the PDF.
-
that's your new normal i'm afraid
-
what in the fuck is going on in Antarctica...
-
Canaan is like a piece of northern Ontario here in the Mid-Atlantic.
-
Basically year round, the nighttime temps in the urban areas of the megalopolis are not that dissimilar from what you'd see in the deep south.
-
warm overnight lows continuing to do it - mid-upper 70s are routine now, even outside the cities. We basically have a Central FL climate at the height of summer.
-
smells like smoke again - nice.
-
88/77 at DCA - lovely.
-
I think part of that is the expansion of the UHI, but part of it is that our summer nights are becoming more humid. To our south, overnight lows in the 70s are routine even in rural areas bc the dewpoint stays above 70.

it's nice that the Metro stations all have A/C so you don't come close to death waiting on the platform, but man tonight you feel it stepping out onto the street. In NY even on the hottest nights there was a slight relief walking out of a subway station because the station temps would be well over 100F.
