    Euro sure knows how to ruin a good time.

    Lived in central WI at the time, so I only have “fond” memories of the days that followed this event. Closest thing to hell I’ve ever had the “pleasure” of experiencing, and I’ve lived in Arizona.

    hopefully they have a different person keeping the records today than they did in 1898. He may be long gone, but his legacy still stands in the form of a record that is possibly not legitimate.

    Another 90 is official now.

    Thank you. I understand that it is extremely hard to get records from the 1800s and early 1900s stricken from the record books, even if there is solid evidence they’re flawed. I would guess that deniers would have a fit if such revisions were made regularly. The 134 at Death Valley is another example of this.

    There’s your answer. KPIT was at 88 at 12:51pm, so the accuracy of the iOS weather app is questionable (as we probably already suspected), though I will say it does one of those Fahrenheit to Celsius to Fahrenheit things where 89 displays as 90.

    I mean we can’t have it all, but 90s most weeks of the summer, no matter how cool it gets in between, can get exhausting.

    Monday looks warm now. 91 at MDT.
  9. TimB
    Contrast that with the fact that we’ve only hit 97 in one of the past 25 years. Part of me thinks we’ve just been lucky (or unlucky if you want heat).

    So what’s the deal with the 119 in Pendleton, OR in 1898? Is there some debate as to its legitimacy? Some sources mention it, but many sources use the 117 as the all time record.
  11. TimB
    From a variability perspective, I really don’t see how we would break our all time heat record by 9 degrees in one go. But now the thought that we could see 105 or 106 one day doesn’t seem too far fetched.
  12. TimB
    That’s 9 degrees warmer than any temperature they recorded prior to this heat wave. A new all time record high for Canada (118) was set, and the official records of 118 for Washington state and 117 for Oregon (apparently disputed, I’ve seen 119 from some sources) were tied yesterday.

    Running a couple degrees ahead of yesterday so far.
  14. TimB
    I’ll drink to that (the contenders part, not the 85 degrees at 10am part). Gotta keep the people saying “Tomlin has never had a losing season.” Side note, I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anyone say “Ben has never had a losing season.”

    I’ll pass on that, but maybe I’ll jump on the bandwagon depending on how bad my team sucks this year. That would require your Cowboys to be good enough to have a bandwagon this year.

    My mother was telling me about how she’s having one done sometime this week so it’s been on my mind recently. I’ll have to ask her if she’s going to Red Robin after.

    I’m still 8 years away from being able to relate to this, but it’s terrifying that it’s that close.
  18. TimB
    Yeah, let’s make it feel like Dallas!

    NWS is suggesting we get to just 90 today, but they also have a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. But I wouldn’t say 94 or 95 out here is impossible if we don’t get the clouds or convection.
  20. TimB
    But we got down to a nice comfortable low of 72 this morning.
  21. TimB
    We did get to 92 yesterday so the HRRR was good.
  22. TimB
    https://xmacis.rcc-acis.org is what I use. Makes finding this data much easier.
  23. TimB
    Here’s the data. Based on current forecasts, MDT would finish the month with an average of 75.5.
  24. TimB
    Astoria, OR topped out at 101. Is that considered “right at the coast”?
  25. TimB
    It’s not over yet. Yesterday they got to 104 and they’re 5 degrees ahead of where they were 24 hours ago.
