I don’t think so. I’m concerned that the will for concrete action is weakening in Washington. No matter how it is spun, the bipartisan infrastructure bill’s being decoupled with climate change-related legislation is a major step backward. While it has a few modest climate items, it is not a credible downpayment toward net zero emissions by 2030. The youth demonstrating outside the White House yesterday have legitimate reason for concern. Absent credible legislation, U.S. COP26 commitments will be hollow. Promises not backed by concrete substance are wishes.

On Sunday, Hoquiam hit 103°.

The most extreme record yesterday was the 110° temperature at Quillayute, WA. That smashed that location's previous all-time record of 99°, which was set on August 9, 1981, and was an almost unfathomable 6.183σ departure from the normal summer high temperature (1991-2020 climate period). An equivalent standardized departure at Central Park would be 126°. Hoquiam’s record on Sunday was an even more extreme 6.196σ departure.

Morning thoughts... After a warm night with low temperatures starting near or at daily record high values, today will be variably cloudy and hot. There could be a widely scattered afternoon shower or thundershower. Temperatures will likely reach the middle and upper 90s in most places today. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 94° Newark: 100° Philadelphia: 95° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 83.4°; 15-Year: 83.6° Newark: 30-Year: 85.7°; 15-Year: 86.0° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 86.8°; 15-Year: 87.2° Daily Records: New York City-LGA: 98°, 1959 and 2012 Newark: 100°, 1934 and 1959 Much above normal temperatures will likely persist through tomorrow. The extreme heat that has been melting all-time high temperature records in the Pacific Northwest will ease its grip on Oregon and Washington as it moves further to the north and east into Canada. Parts of eastern Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, along with Alberta could see numerous record high temperatures.

Weather summary for Yukon issued by Environment Canada at 5:36 p.m. MST Monday 28 June 2021. Discussion. The following data is preliminary and will be updated later tonight if there are any changes.

Two impressive heat domes acted as "heat pumps" with one pushing hot misery into the Pacific Northwest and the other pushing heat into the Northeast. Across the region, temperatures rose into the 90s in many places. 90° or above high temperatures included: Albany: 90° Allentown: 94° Atlantic City: 90° Baltimore: 94° Bangor: 94° (tied record set in 1941 and tied in 1991) Boston: 97° (tied record set in 1901 and tied in 1991) Burlington: 93° Concord: 97° Harrisburg: 96° Hartford: 95° New York City-LGA: 96° (tied record set in 2010) New York City-NYC: 92° Newark: 99° (tied record set in 1993) Philadelphia: 94° Portland: 97° Poughkeepsie: 95° Providence: 93° Washington, DC: 91° White Plains: 91° Wilmington, DE: 93° Worcester: 91° 90° Days for Select Cities (through June 28): Albany: 2 (2020: 13 days; 5-Year Average: 13.6 days) Allentown: 8 (2020: 24 days; 5-Year Average: 27.6 days) Baltimore: 12 (2020: 46 days; 5-Year Average: 44.6 days) Boston: 9 (2020: 14 days; 5-Year Average: 17.2 days) Bridgeport: 3 (2020: 11 days; 5-Year Average: 13.4 days) Burlington: 6 (2020: 20 days; 5-Year Average: 13.0 days) Harrisburg: 9 (2020: 35 days; 5-Year Average: 30.6 days) Hartford: 9 (2020: 39 days; 5-Year Average: 29.0 days) Islip: 2 (2020: 8 days; 5-Year Average: 9.4 days) New York City-JFK: 3 (2020: 12 days; 5-Year Average: 10.2 days) New York City-LGA: 7 (2020: 34 days; 5-Year Average: 29.4 days) New York City-NYC: 6 (2020: 20 days; 5-Year Average: 18.2 days) Newark: 14 (2020: 31 days; 5-Year Average: 31.2 days) Philadelphia: 10 (2020: 36 days; 5-Year Average: 34.6 days) Scranton: 7 (2020: 25 days; 5-Year Average: 16.4 days) Washington, DC: 9 (2020: 46 days; 5-Year Average: 50.8 days) New York City-Newark Average: 8 (2020: 22 days) ...Expected: 8 (based on regression equation tied to JFK-LGA-EWR data) The hot and humid air mass will remain in place over the Middle Atlantic and southern New England areas through at least mid-week. Under partly sunny skies, temperatures will likely reach the lower and middle 90s in many parts of the region. The hottest spots will likely soar into the upper 90s with a few 100° temperatures possible. A shower or thundershower is possible. Out West an unprecedented heat event shattered more all-time high temperature records. Preliminary high temperatures included: Aurora, OR: 113° (old record: 102°, 2008) ***New All-Time Record*** Fort Nelson, BC: 93°/34.1°C (old record: 86°/30.2°C, 1982) Hillsboro, OR: 114° (old record: 101°, 2008) ***New All-Time Record*** Kamloops, BC: 113°/45.0°C (old record: 100°/37.7°C, 2008) ***New All-Time Record*** Lillooet, BC: 112°/44.7°C (old record: 103°/39.3°C, 2015) Lytton, BC: 116°/46.5°C (old record: 100°/38.0°C, 2008) McMinnville, OR: 114° (old record: 100°, 2003) ***New All-Time Record*** Medford, OR: 115° (old record: 103°, 2003 and 2008) ***Tied All-Time Record*** Portland: 115° (old record: 100°, 2008) ***New All-Time Record*** Salem, OR: 117° (old record: 101°, 2008) ***New All-Time Record*** Seattle: 107° (old record: 91°, 1995 and 2008) ***New All-Time Record*** Spokane: 105° (tied record set in 2015) ***Tied June Record*** The Dalles, OR: 118° (old record: 104°, 1937 and 1948) ***New All-Time Record; Tied Washington State Record*** Troutdale, OR: 115° (old record: 99°, 2003) ***New All-Time Record*** Vancouver: 89°/31.7°C (old record: 87°/30.5°C, 1995) Victoria, BC: 102°/38.7°C (old record: 89°/31.7°C, 1995) ***New All-Time Record*** Yakima, WA: 109° (old record: 108°, 2015) To put Seattle's historic high temperature into perspective, on a standardized basis (1991-2020 period), it would be the equivalent of the following high temperatures: Chicago: 112° New York City (Central Park): 111° Washington, DC: 113° Starting tomorrow, the heat will shift somewhat to the north and east. Readings will remain much above normal in parts of eastern Washington State, Oregon, Idaho, and eastern British Columbia. Portland and Seattle will see much cooler readings in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Climate change has increased the frequency, magnitude, and duration of extreme heat events in the United States and worldwide. Seattle's 107° high temperature was 4.03 sigma above the 1991-20 average summer high temperature. It was 4.26 sigma above the 1951-80 average summer high temperature. That made such an event about 2.7 times as likely in today's climate as it was during the 1951-80 period. Further increases in extreme events are likely in coming decades as the world's climate continues to warm. During the 1971-00 period, there was a statistical 0.9% probability that the temperature would reach or exceed 90° during June 26-28. For the 1991-20 period, that figure had increased to 2.0%. That's an implied 55% increase tied to climate change. Actual outcomes saw Seattle record 90° temperatures on 1.1% of days within that period during 1971-00 and 4.4% during the 1991-20 timeframe. For Portland, the statistical probability of a 90° day during the June 26-28 period was 6.2% during the 1971-00 period and 10.4% during the 1991-20 period. That's an implied 40% increase tied to climate change. The actual outcomes were 6.6% during the 1971-00 period and 12.2% during the 1991-20 period. That actual outcomes exceeded statistical outcomes is consistent with ongoing warming. In large part on account of Phoenix's recent extreme heat event, there is an implied near 100% probability that June 2021 will become Phoenix's warmest June on record with a mean temperature near 95.1°. The existing record of 94.8° was set in 2013 and tied in 2016. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.0°C for the week centered around June 23. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.17°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.20°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely prevail through August. The SOI was -6.19 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) figure was +0.608 today. On June 26 the MJO was in Phase 1 at an amplitude of 1.545 (RMM). The June 25-adjusted amplitude was 1.346 (RMM). In late April, the MJO moved through Phase 8 at an extreme amplitude (+3.000 or above). Only February 25, 1988 and March 18-19, 2015 had a higher amplitude at Phase 8. Both 1988 and 2015 went on to have an exceptionally warm July-August period. July-August 1988 had a mean temperature of 79.1°, which ranked 4th highest for that two-month period. July-August 2015 had a mean temperature of 78.9°, which ranked 5th highest for that two-month period. September 2015 was also the warmest September on record. The MJO's extreme passage through Phase 8 could provide the first hint of a hot summer. Since 1896, 76% of years that saw Phoenix reach 115° or above in June, as occurred this year, had a warmer than July-August in the Middle Atlantic region. The ratio of top 30 July-August temperatures relative to bottom 30 temperatures was 6:1 in favor of the warmth. Overall, the ingredients continue to fall into place for a warmer than normal to potentially hot summer. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 100% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal June (1991-2020 normal). June will likely finish with a mean temperature near 74.2° (2.2° above normal).

Yes, it would at least tie the Washington record. Pasco might make a run at it tomorrow.

Another day, another Canadian national high temperature record! From Environment Canada: https://twitter.com/ECCCWeatherBC/status/1409655648220958722?s=20 Weather summary for British Columbia issued by Environment Canada at 5:36 p.m. PDT Monday 28 June 2021.

Looking at Figure 3, we see in 2010 that Moscow was in the middle of a large black spot of +3σ, while in 2011 Texas was in the middle of a similar spot. Europe had its time in the heat in 2003. All these outliers were absent from 1950-1980. People who continue to deny that extreme heat is caused by AGW need to look carefully at these graphs. These extreme weather events were not normal; they are directly caused by AGW. They are becoming normal now. In 2010, 17% of the world’s land area was Extremely Hot (data not shown). In the 1960s there were virtually zero Extremely Hot areas. IMO, that's a landmark paper that retains its value today. To put things into perspective, the 102-degree reading in Seattle is just over 3.4 sigma over the 1991-2020 average summer maximum temperature. It would be nearly 3.65 sigma over the 1951-80 numbers. In sum, that event is more than twice as likely (nearly 2.35 times as likely) in today's climate as it was in the earlier climate regime.

The 6/28/2021 12z sounding (500 mb heights):

Yesterday’s 104-degree reading in Seattle was more than 3.6 sigma above the mean June-August high temperature (1991-2020 base). It would be the equivalent of 108 degrees in Central Park or 109 degrees in Chicago.

The evolution of the synoptic features. It looks destined to slowly move east-northeastward through Canada while moderating over time.

Portland could have its 3rd consecutive all-time record.

Morning thoughts... It will be variably cloudy and hot. There could be a widely scattered afternoon shower or thundershower. Temperatures will likely reach the lower and perhaps middle 90s in most places today. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 91° Newark: 98° Philadelphia: 93° Normals: New York City: 30-Year: 83.2°; 15-Year: 83.3° Newark: 30-Year: 85.5°; 15-Year: 85.8° Philadelphia: 30-Year: 86.6°; 15-Year: 87.0° Much above normal temperatures will likely persist through mid-week. Yesterday, Portland (112°) and Seattle (104°) established new all-time high temperature records. Lytton, BC set a national Canadian high temperature record of 116°. Today, Seattle and Portland will likely further increase their all-time high temperature records that they set yesterday. Lytton could challenge its record, as well. Daily Records for June 26: Portland: 100°, 2008 (Forecast: 108° to 120°) Seattle: 91°, 2008 (Forecast: 103° to 115°) *-Forecast range is 1 sigma below and above the forecast mean. The huge model spread suggests a 43% implied probability that Seattle will reach 110° and that Portland will reach 115°.

Seattle finished with an all-time high of 104 today.
