Looks like MSP is off to an absolutely scorching start to summer. Second warmest on record for first eight days of June, and would have been first if it occurred during or before 2020. Third warmest when measured by mean maximum to minimize impacts of growing UHI.

Wouldn't have expected this with the northerly flow and wildfire smoke limiting insolation.

 

It’s been unpleasant working outside. Luckily so far we haven’t had the extreme 70+ dews like last summer. I’m already over this crap, and ready for coastal ridges and central CONUS troughs. 

Dropped down to 61 last night. I love these low dews. We’ve only picked up 0.03” of rain in June. It’s getting crispy out here.

My highs for the day, and my furnace still kicks in. Take a trip my way soon, and you'll be in heaven.  

Might head up to either Gooseberry or Split Rock this weekend. Dews have finally dropped into the mid 50s here which is a big relief. 

Overnight low of 66, which is the coldest it’s gotten in June here. No open windows in our household.

Off to a hot start of summer in Minneapolis. 3rd most 90s through June 5th

The city of Bloomington dumps snow in a field by my office. This pile is remarkably still hanging on. 
 

84/61 currently under cloudy and smoky skies.

Another afternoon in Minneapolis where we have eclipsed 90F.

Overnight low of 71 in Minneapolis.

Up to 90 currently in Minneapolis this afternoon.

gonna head up to Madison to Tyrol’s June Jam tomorrow. Pic from last year, they said they have significantly more snow this year. At least an acre of coverage. I’m not sure how they keep it at Tyrol but usually hay and/or sawdust will do the trick.
 

Trollhaugen in Dresser WI saves a pile of snow under straw and tarps all summer for an early October event each year. I’m always surprised they are able to save anything. 

There was a single 5min obs of 69F which will be the official overnight low for Minneapolis. Coldest temp of the month.

Lots of scattered convection in the area kept the temps down and we only managed a high of 88 today. Did pick up 0.04” of rain!

Didn't your snow just melt off??

Still a few remaining piles around town lol.

Overnight low of 70. Lawns are starting to turn brown. 

3rd day in a row we’ve reached 90 in Minneapolis.

Where's your heat island in January?

It’s quite strong in January. It’ll be -12F at the airport and -20s outside the urban core. In fact we would have probably broken our all time snowfall record if it weren’t for marginal temps during a few event. Our suburban WFO was around 12” higher on seasonal snowfall then the official measuring spot at the airport. 

June opens up with an overnight low of 72 in Minneapolis. Heat Island flexing.

We’ve reached 90 for the second consecutive day in Minneapolis.

92 today both here and at MLI.  Doesn't feel bad at all with dews in the 40s.  

Big difference to the west. Dews are in the 57-59 range across central Iowa. 

We’ve hit 90 for the first time this year in Minneapolis. 

88/39 

Warmest day of the year. Actually not horrible out with dews this low and a breeze. 

Saved by an epic winter.

79/30 with 17% Relative Humidity. Loving rare stretches like this when I get to live in the desert.

As @A-L-E-Kwould say, “the normies” are talking drought around town.  

81/32 at 4pm. I’ll take 80s when the air is this dry. Going to have to water the blueberry bushes and flowers, topsoil is bone dry.
