IDK...I think around 70-75 winter and summer is perfect for indoor temperature. Maybe 79 in winter

it doesn't have to be a freezer. I feel like a penguin. What's wrong with room temperature?

Like I'm sitting with a heavy leather jacket on...IN JULY. This should be tucked away in my closet but b/c the whole world has to live in an ice box I have to carry a jacket.

Speaking of AC's...this is ridiculous. Walk next door to lunch and wearing short sleeves...beautiful...lovely. Go inside and eat there and IT'S FREEZING. I nearly froze. It is NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE THE AIR ON THAT COLD. Can people not really take a little heat? Is a little warmth too much?? wah wah wah I'm a little uncomfortable and I hate it...let me turn up the AC so its a localized ice'd age. I mean my goodness..wtf. It's not even hot out. All this climate control crap is ridiculous

maybe that's why the dinosaurs were so big

I see what you're saying. I'm trying to remember too but I think water vapor in the stratosphere can lead to depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. In Remote Sensing and Atmospheric Physics we talked a bit about this...if I remember correctly there is some type of reaction that occurs between something and it takes something like years (maybe even decades) for it to break down or something. Have to check my notes later

Steve raises a valid point though. In terms of LA the air quality there is mainly due to the emissions of motor vehicles and the build-up of those chemicals in the air. Salt Lake City I believe is due to strong inversions that develop over that area. For us...more times than not our air quality is due to ozone build up at the sfc which results in airmasses where there is little mixing and there is some sort of inversion aloft and below the inversion you have a hot and moist airmass. Thinking about it chemically H20 and O3 reacting...not pleasant.

You do bring up a great point though. Makes alot of sense when you really think about it

I think it has to do more with the fact that there is an inversion above us today (maybe a subsidence inversion?) and with the high temperatures and light wind it allows ozone levels to build up at the sfc,

New Orleans getting hammered right now. If they keep getting this type of activity over the next few days that could really escalate flooding concerns if this tracks into LA this weekend.

I really like it. It's awesome driving into work and watching the sun rise. This really brings me back to childhood and over summer vacation waking up around 6:00 AM and going outside...peaceful and relaxing.

yikes

Yup...it sucks. The worst part about having transitioned to waking up at 4:15 AM is the darkness...started this back in early January and from what I gathered there's about 3 weeks where it's actually light out when leaving at 5 lol

Feeling a little disturbed after the last few pages

12z Euro has 20''+ across a chunk of eastern LA...yikes

they've made life much easier for sure...and more complicated lol

well the Euro is in-line with the other guidance

that's my work schedule

Actually I will say...now that I've become much more inactive the HHH does ware me down much more quickly. When I was more active (my previous job involved doing alot outside) I had a much more tolerance for HHH. As I get older the cold just bothers me so much more though...I cramp up so easily. If i like keep my arm in a bent position and then straighten it out too quick when I'm cold I'll get a major cramp down my arm

I actually do. I never had AC on my own. From 2009-2013 with my mom we were on the second floor...didn't have AC in my room and it was 85-90 all summer and during the hottest periods 95-99 in my room. Then when I got my own apartment with my brother I didn't use AC either. I only got it b/c my girlfriend at the time said it was either get one or she was not staying. On my own I won't use A/C...only time is driving really but I just suck it up and deal with it. When most people walk outside and gasp it'snot a big deal to me b/c I'm not subjecting my body from a 65 room to 90 temperatures.

what a shift with the 12z runs with the system...not good.

hey you asked lol

I would think it would be easily possible. From what I udnerstand much of the data comes from ASOS stations anyway so being able to compute an average shouldn't be difficult. PHI BGM FWD TAE OKX FSD HGX IND VEF EAX MEG LOT LMK PAFC

I agree...we are in a hot pattern and how I guess an individual wants to define that is up to them but at the end of the day there needs to be a scientific distinction of the term. Peak climo at places like BDL (~86 I think it may be?), BOS (maybe 84?) ORH (maybe 82?). So when these sights are pushing ~90+ for BDL; 86-88+ for BOS; and close to 85 for ORH...it's hot.
