Probably an error but t'storms can release heat at odd times, Sacrus had a historical note a few days ago about a decaying storm near Pierre SD that created a rise to 104 F in middle of night. I have never seen it happen in eastern regions however. Or, a brush fire could be raging near the sensor, creating very hot gusts. If so, I don't know if it would count as a "real" climate stat or not. There again, I don't know of any actual occurrences.

If you're not a golf fan, be aware Golf Channel could become Weather Live later on, golf tournament in progress near Hartford CT. No sirens yet.

Final Scoring for June 2024 Scores are based on end of June anomalies.

SEA is a win for DonS (lowest forecast +0.5) and also for Normal. ====================== Annual update will follow near end of June ...

These last two forecasts will be added in same way as earlier late entry (see post on June 8). Ineligible to win contest but will be ranked. If let's say one ends up between 7th and 8th, it will be rank 7.5 ... but will cap possible ranks at 2.5. Any entries after today's post will not be noted in table, sorry ... first named storm Alberto is up and running.

Snow fell as low as 4,000' southwest of Calgary earlier today. It has been very cold and unsettled up this way since Saturday, and I was over in Alberta on weekend, hail and thunder in locations now snow covered, and readings in 40s F all day. Not a lot better back at base, 53F and passing rain/hail showers. Forest fire potential is very low which is the one good thing about this recent spell.

So far 91F EWR, 86 NYC, LGA, and 80F JFK, ISP are reported maxima. also... 91F PHL, 94F DCA CLE ORD, 92F IAD, BWI Looks like a "bog standard" June event so far, very similar to a spell in 1929 at same point. I accept NYC is reading a bit lower nowadays but an adjustment to 88 or possibly 89 is probably "comparable" to past data. I suppose it's better to see trees growing in CP, compared to alternative of steady state urban warming environment. After all, a lot of effort is going into cooling climate, so every little bit is good (except for our academic interests). Based on extensive studies of Toronto climate, I see a similar but less dramatic effect on downtown Toronto temps in a parkland setting similar to CP, it may be a fairly widespread situation in large cities in parks created a century ago and resulting planned tree canopy spreadouts. So it raises question, is it really "wrong" to take NYC as measurement, or is it just reflecting a new (and improved) environment in midtown locations? Probably a bit of (a) and (b). But if we all agree, NYC +1 or +2 is directly comparable during April to October warm spells, and closer to zero adjustment required outside of warm spells, we all understand comparisons to past events.

June 3-day (or greater) spells of 90+ at NYC Listed in order of total departure above 90 deg Ties are broken by duration, and if equal in duration, by max value, and if equal after, by earliest to latest.

Counting group two, 79 spells of 3+ days averaged > 90.0F so, on average, they occur every other year, but several years have two or three, so frequency of years is about 70/155. This is one cli-stat that is not increasing in frequency, in fact, it appears to be dropping off (and it is likely not only due to tree canopy issue at NYC). June hot spells have not been very frequent or impressive in past three decades really.

I will add you in, would be ineligible for a contest win but will rank it anyway.

I will be getting a table of forecasts together at the deadline, no extensions are foreseen, but edit away if you wish, I won't be collecting any data until after the stated deadline a week from now. Luckily it's not 1925 or we would already know outcomes.

__ Table of forecasts __ 2024 N Atlantic tropical season contest __ Scoring rules at base of table, order of entry breaks any tied scoring ranks. NOAA, expert consensus, UK and contest consensus will be ranked independently (won't affect your contest ranks) ... a few entries were posted on Net-weather (UK) and boards.ie weather forum (Ireland). ... ranks will be (a) overall and also (b) for each forum. Order of entry is for American Wx Forum entries, separate coded order of entry is given for guests. (e.g. NW-1 indicates first of five Net-weather entries). In event of U.S. and guest forecasts being tied, I will determine from forum posted dates relative order of entry. Contest consensus is a median (not a mean) of (not-specific-expert-group) on time entries.

Scoring for contest will follow same rules as previous years. Errors for named storms (S) are applied at 50% compared to errors in H and M For H and M error deductions (from 100 points) are an average of error and error squared. For example, a forecast of 11 H and outcome of 13 takes a penalty of 3 (average of 2 and 4). An error of six takes a penalty of 21 (average of 6 and 36) ... etc. Errors for number of storms will be calculated in similar way but will be divided by 2, so if you predicted 30 storms and 24 occur, error deduction is half of 21, or 10.5. Scores around 95 usually win this contest. Note: If you discover your forecast is a duplicate of an earlier submitted forecast and you want to alter your forecast to nearest available different forecast, post by June 10.

Difficult to edit above post, basically, NOAA will go into contest at 21 10.5 5.5 and expert consensus will be 23 11 5. I will note UK 22 12 4 also. Working on table of forecasts, will be available on June 6. Contest is now closed to entries but I would accept any posted before table appears.

Based on runs of top one-third of all data (bold in table), closer to median Nov 2023 disqualified recent interval of Sep 2023 to present, and on basis of top third, longest runs showing the gradual increasing duration were: 3 (Dec 1889 to Feb 1890, Jan-Mar 1898) 4 (Aug-Nov 1900, May-Aug 1908, Oct 1912-Jan 1913) 6 (Sep 1931 - Feb 1932) 8 (May - Dec 1953, June 1973 - Jan 1974) 11 (Oct 1990 to Aug 1991) since then, longest run was seven months, on two occasions, Oct 2001- Apr 2002 and Mar-Sep 2010. The current interruption (or disqualification) by Nov 2023 is similar to 1949 losing a run of eight (Jan - Aug) to a near miss by May 1949, or ten if you also count Dec 1948. Also April 2015 to Nov 2016 was broken up by three relatively average months. Against some normal values it could be a 20-month period of warmth.
