Torchageddon

Very happy with this opening of Nov, yesterday though was a let down for the first half. I could get to 20C if everything lines up either today or sometime this week . Most insane is the forecast low on Sat of 14C / 57F (Nov 5)!!! Made it to 19C on my station, should also add 23 years ago today I had nearly two feet of snow on the ground but this go around I'm walking around in shorts and soaking up the full sun, green fields remain.

My hourly forecast has been hilariously bad this early afternoon, I'm cloudy with sunny breaks at best but here since 11am it was showing mostly sunny and then by 1pm (not shown) no clouds while I was overcast. Satellite clearly shows otherwise:

I remember it fondly, one of the most extreme events here in years (SON it was more anomalous). Most memorable was how it was balmy at 5:30 Nov 10 after the sun set; it felt like a warm summers' evening, humidex was an insane 23C!!! That in isolation might be a once in a 100 year occurrence. It got very cloudy just before dusk which kept the record shattering heat from escaping. Normally during that part of fall after the sun sets the temp drops by 1ºC per 15 minutes. Getting back to this weekend's great wx, I got to 23C for the 2nd day in a row with mostly sunny skies. My 7 day shows a ton of sun for this time of year.

IMBY. Doesn't get much worse than this!

Getting my typical rain-showers with grapple that Oct brings here. Only 20 mins of sun at 2pm. When another wave of showers came by just now at 5pm I was down to 740 lux. Yesterday for the first time in months I was put under an advisory (for wind), it was just a breeze lol.

I had a pre-payment, last week's and the one before that 6 day dank fest. Today and tomorrow will be good, 20C and sunny but today was 6C less.

A rare bust on the good side, thought I'd wake up to rain and darkness with TWN showing 4-7C temps, windchill near 0 and rain most of the day. Here its blue skies each direction! We got very lucky that the lake effect rainbands aren't quite reaching but I can see them just a few miles away . TWN current condition page is full of it, showing rain instead of clear which is amazing for 2022:

I noticed during Ian's LF that here it was dark and gloomy which isn't something I remember for other landfalling canes especially during this part of hurricane season. Not talking late Oct or Nov hurricanes though where I'm mostly under overcast or dreary wx.

Its was overcast and dark for the 6th day in a row here, I felt cold as well moreso than before. This has been a remarkably horrible stretch of weather that will be remembered/reviled. It was suppose to break up mid-day but not a second of sun appeared. I've been around 11C/52F for 96 hours but its dropped a few degrees. Heat is coming on reguarly as if its winter

Would be a great Canadian Thanksgiving, maybe I could swim in the lake but the last few days probably wrecked the ssts.

The potent low in Georgian Bay was spinning away all day and bands like a hurricane kept feeding off Huron. The spin was easy to spot on sat and even radar!

I haven't felt the onset of SAD yet, but another 1 or 2 days of this I might. I've actually gotten a jolt to the noggin from the change of seasons which temporary gives me more energy, motivation, and ideas even during the first snowfall. This is perhaps the rainiest non-storm day of the year - at least 28 mm or 1.1 inches so far. I got up to a rate of 3mm/h or .12 in/h . The historic rain event of last Sep a year and a few days ago I recall a rate of 5.5mm at one point like a t-storm downpour. As my hourly showed I'm getting brief heavy rain spells. Meager sunlight and rainbows this morning with the ominous darkness to the north at the beginning of this rain storm.

Atrocious wx continues here, this is the earliest I've needed the heat on. Dark, cold and rainy for 3 days already then I see this (normally I don't check this anymore for good reason but something forced me to): Is this a joke? And here I was hoping for a repeat of 2017 during the period. I better stop as its the opposite! As soon as the calendar turned to autumn it was full-on s***.

That was an awesome graphic set by Papin, never seen it explained like that nor the products shown. I can't figure out what the K is for 340-K potential vorticity in the 2nd graphic, searched but couldn't find answer.

Ended up getting no rain and exceeded forecast highs today. The storms were south of me and the sun came out for a few hours this afternoon then more annoying clouds rolled in at 3. I can't remember the last time I was under an advisory/watch/warning.

Had a very warm overnight low of 18C/64F for this spot in mid-Sept, overcast with humidity combo to get it. Inside I didn't drop below 25.5C/78F.

I've been having some bad wx lately, dark and overcast yesterday with cold temps in the low 60s (much colder than forecast) then a bit warmer today however still dark and overcast ugh. It was suppose to become partly sunny at noon and it didn't happen.

I'm up to 107 mm of rain for the month, likely in the top-tier but since my records are incomplete I'm in the dark. The pattern of getting moderate rains and then sunny days spaced ideally maximizes crop growth. I can't recall an August that was this perfect for growing. Morning had a stray isolated shower pass over me then another at noon, followed by partly sunny and very humid. I missed the main MCS that rolled through MI/ON in the evening to the south.

Love the contrasting colours and the mid-day bightness, love that pic. Low was a higher than avg 19C/67F overnight. I'm finally getting a long downpour making up for the misses last week and I'm at 20mm / 0.79in. It was a cluster of heavy showers (minimal thunder) and now this is an unique radar look:

I'm only getting some brief, light showers during these pulse storms nearby this week, my station doesn't even record any amount of rain but I suspect its more than 0.1 mm. Heard some thunder on Weds and today. I missed the heavy stuff very close by.

Getting pretty messy out there, got my first t-storm since April, ah snap. Torrential rains multiple times over the last 45 mins that I haven't seen for a long while. Got 15 mm/0.6 inches in mere minutes. Only had a few bright flashes but randomly at several points I'd see clusters of frequent lightning then nothing for minutes.

At 88F/31C with mostly cloudy skies, not a combo that happens much. Very breezy.

Usually terrible summers like that one have a bit of a balancing out with a warmer Sept or Fall, also some nice Springs like in the 70s. June-Aug climo is good here but you have decent Spring/Fall where here we don't. 3 good months out of 12 still means a sucky climate here near the Lakes in SON.

So glad I was too young to remember the stench that was the summer of '92

Save worthy run, Hr 372 is particularly wicked *chef's kiss*
