The sun is finally out for the first time since I've returned home.

The further south, it is more noticeable earlier. For example, Charlotte hasn't seen a 10-inch snow season since 2003-04, or even an above average snow season since 2013-14.

If this happens, then I think we'll know for sure if the low snow cycle since the post-mid 2010's el nino is here to stay. We'd be heading into a similar pattern as 13-14, 14-15, and 15-16, years which set multiple cold and/or snowstorm records. If we don't get any notable cold and/or snowstorm during such a regime, then it's safe to say that we've reached a point of no return. At that point, we'd have over a decade of evidence, as well as a favorable pattern, which resulted in low snow.

lol at this one getting unpinned before the 2023-24 thread. 2011 was a record wet August and September and 2013 was a record wet summer. Plus, that summer pretty much ended in late July.

Back home now. Miserable and drizzling at the airport and at home. But I can confirm that it never rains in California.

Highs today Downtown LA - 74 Long Beach - 70 LAX - 71 I will return home tomorrow.

Highs today Downtown LA - 90 Long Beach - 83 LAX - 78

I'm on vacation, so I'm posting obs from where I am. I'll be back home Tuesday night. Has it rained since I've been on Thursday?

Highs today Downtown Los Angeles - 99 Long Beach - 95 LAX - 81 All are record highs.

Today's highs Downtown LA - 91 Long Beach - 89 LAX - 71

Today's highs Downtown LA - 81 Long Beach - 78 LAX - 69

I'm heading off to California, and will be back on Tuesday. If I post, it will be the weather conditions at LAX until then.

1988 was actually one of the warmest summers on record at that point. Coincidentally, October 1988 was one of the coldest on record. If the 32 low in July is true, I'd be willing to bet they got a sub-zero low during that October.

The one for PHL is much harder to break. If I remember correctly, the record HI was set three days after my 7th birthday, on 7/15/1995. The high that day was 103, and I believe the HI was 129 and the dewpoint was 82 (which was even higher than the low of 81 that day). That day was just the perfect storm of the heat and humidity coming together. I can't see it ever being broken. We'll either need a very humid 101/102 degree day or a day when the thermometer reaches 108, which is 2 higher than the all-time PHL record (like it did in Newark in 2011).
