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.

Brrrrraaapppp. Austria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia on the list. Have no idea what time or day it is, ha. The overnight flights get me every time. Looks like it’s raining at home. What else is new.

Yeah it’s interesting how this little part of the country wants to trough whole so much of the country torches. I’m not even trying to troll those who want high heat or dews… if the models showed a monster ridge over NE we’d talk about it too. Zero doubt in my mind we’ll be wishing we had these low height anomalies this winter.

GEFS… man what a persistent troughing in New England. Just any excuse possible through the end of August.

Lol, right? I would 100% expect people to troll me if I was making some of these statements with such conviction and I would hope they do. None of its personal; make so called ironclad claims and live with what comes back. Hey, it was a great July, no one was trolling. Dews in the 70s to Canada numerous times. But it just hasn’t been that pattern and hasn’t looked it on the models since the end of July. And if this 63/62 or whatever it is outside is muggy, then yeah, it’s a great summer day in CT. Live it up. Off to Logan and a flight to Munich for a couple weeks in Europe.

If folks follow the models and say a warm front won’t blast through to central Mass… your response is those folks think it must be stuck over DC? Just take the loss like a man. Its not trolling if we just like to live in the real world sometimes without hyperbole in every single statement. It’s weather. It either happens or it doesn’t and it’s usually measurable. Where is the warm front? Where did models have it?

So it didn’t blast way north like some where saying?

Euro tries to build the ridge into here only for it to get beaten back by more troughing. These models are finding any excuse possible to not let ridging establish itself in the Northeast. Better blocking than we see in winter on some of these runs.

Deserts down there not used to 5-10” lol. Persistent trough up NE through day 10 it seems in the means.

Lol that 12z GFS run. Some big troughs… persistent. Just not letting heat get established. 19th Then a monster trough Day 8-10.

Nice to see a low go out under SNE.

Down in NE CT today, arrived last night. This is total comfort. Windows and doors open all night. No AC needed. Breezy. Its in the Chamber column today.

So sorry Dryslot. Thoughts with you and your family.

Still good summer signal August 18-24th time frame. Probably a bit drier too (QPF wise, before the Dew Dads read into that drier word too much)… but this stretch in there looks the most summery (without rain) we’ve seen in a while.

Just digging into rainfall numbers locally; others south/east of here have had more, but ~23” in the past 10 weeks is 0.33” per day. Averaging a third of an inch of water, every day, for ten weeks. That’s keeping the ground moist.

Quick half inch of water to keep things damp. Fantastic lightning show, very loud boomers and frequent. Only problem is the dog hates it. It does storm when the dew is over 60F. 63/62

Looks like BTV has warned it.
