Sound advice. But haven’t we had 80s in March recently? Rarely remember September snows. Feels like March gets closer to summery temps than September to winter temps.

But somehow the reds aren’t washed out, ha.

There is zero doubt that this trough and persistently lower heights over NE turn into an absolute torch as we head into the Fall… without even looking at any model guidance, ha. Because why not? Then we can all hear a poster saying “you all wanted the trough in the summer, now we get a never ending ridge when it’s supposed to cool off… you did this.”

Usual torch spot of the BTV airport at -2.2. MVL only -0.7 and MPV -1.2 with lack of good radiational cooling given clouds/rain. BTV doesn’t radiate anyway (none baked into climo) so very cool departures.

Data can be confusing, especially with a minus sign in front of it.

Bonkers. 6.71” up in Stowe in August.

Looks like 0.69” back home since yesterday evening. This will be the first summer the garden hasn’t had to be watered once. Can go away for two weeks and not even worry… just keeps getting soaked.

Looks like it was 45F back home at MVL and 44F at nearest PWS.

My folks saying it’s a beautiful afternoon in NE CT… perfect for walking 18. Looked at temps and noticed the hilltops are a tough spot for those looking to torch in warm season.

Too much wine each night. Can’t read what’s on any of the bottles, so need to find out through investigative consumption.

It’s sort of funny… millions of people around and literally zero out in the sun in most of the squares. Only people are in the shade at cafe’s and eateries lining buildings… but only on the shady sides. It’s just too hot to even walk through the sunny areas. Ghost cities due to heat. Everyone inside during the day and come out at night.

Or walking around and visiting cities. God, I’d love those temps right now. If you aren’t near a water park, these 90-100F temps in Europe are useless. I know you just like the summer beach vibes but every time this discussion comes up I can’t help but think those temps are great for literally EVERYTHING that doesn’t involve swimming. Like any other activity, not just paving roads lol.

Looked like a nice window open night at home. Still the surface of the sun in Europe. 35C currently. Some might call it “memory making” weather.

Yeah September and March have similar sun angles at the equinoxes… Shadows grow much, much faster in the evening than they do in July. The duration of the peak heating is decently shorter. Even with heat, there’s this feeling of inevitability that the cold and dark season is coming as the days move by.

I saw 38C today (100F) on the car between Vienna and Bratislava. It’s been an absolute oven walking while walking around European cities. It is a “dry” heat with upper 50s dews and 25-30% RH which makes it at least tolerable. Shade is ok just sitting at a cafe, sun is an absolute furnace. Supposed to be in the 90s every day in every city until I leave after next weekend. The NE US just sits nice and relatively comfy.

If only the WAR actually retrograded and the mean trough was in the Lakes instead of further east over NY/New England.

Heat index hit 134F so far. 102/84. My uncle and cousins were visiting CT from there. He’s an atmospheric science professor at University of Kansas there in Lawrence. Those college kids arriving back must love moving in during this.

That’s a lot more frequent than I would’ve thought. Gracias.

And that happens how often? Honestly have zero idea of that climate. Explain it to me like I’m 5 years old .

Wonder what the return time on that is…

Has to be the rainiest summer I can remember in Stowe. Feel like 2011 had it’s moments and there were some months here and there very wet… but not like this year’s multi-month deluge.

Hot as ballz in Europe. Another day over 30C and sweating walking around. Checking in back home, looks like MVL at home is 63F at 2pm… ha. August 19th and low-60s in the afternoon? lol at SLK at 53F. That’s like woodstove weather in August. You know it’s going to be like 85F on Halloween at this point with kids sweating through costumes.

Budapest, Hungary. It’s been hot around here. Today driving I saw 36.5C (98F) on the car dashboard. Ripping around Europe in a Mercedes is like playing Mario Cart in real life in eastern sections. These roads are like the wild west and make Boston driving feel like Vermont.

I remember that… Paul/Wiz said he was having a fun party, and posted a photo of a beer pong set up and one other young guy. Definitely was funny to describe that photo as a party; like when someone posts a photo of a small gap in overcast and calls it a sunny day. Going to get mocked. DIT was rightfully mocking Wiz’s “party”, but there was a stray bullet that came out cringy… saying the only person Wiz could get to come to his party was a cook at a certain local restaurant (like elementary school stereotype stuff). You’d think we’d be a bit past that and probably could’ve just said whoops, my bad, didn’t mean for it to come out like that, I own it. It shouldn’t even be a thing months later, but it’s pretty on-brand that DIT starts mentioning Chinese food after Tuna’s posts, then claims to not know what’s going on lol. Sitcom side of a science forum…err that may be generous, a weather forum.

I’ve heard great things about Budapest. Looking forward to that, but also Vienna. Just resting tonight trying to get jet lag out of the system, 9pm here. I see back home my neighbor had 1.13” of rain today and our next door Stowe Country Club is under water. What a summer for water.
