Torchageddon

Another 30C/86F day here, I'm racking up so many. Great strech of wx. The storms formed south of me weds which was nice. Heard the tree frog for the first time.

My boatload of rain expected for today was a huge bust, 1 inch turned into a trace that dried up within half a hour. There were modest storms all around. Our temps keep over-performing every day too by 3C.

Got another 30C+ day, now 31C humidex 35. The wild swings in temps continue. Thurs had a minor windchill after all this heat and then 20 hours later we're back 4pm: 33C/90F on my station, humidex of 41 or so. 24 hr ago it was 16C/61F with a chill!

Transcended the point low by 1C - 24C/76F. Tues I was peg to be 26C high, every check it's increasing: went to 29C, now 30C. I'm soaring the last hour as I'm not far from 30C now! The last 3 night lows have been 25C (more like 26C, 80% of that overnight), 23C, and 24C. WUN nailed yesterday's details with exact high/low/full sun/RH, etc. from a forecast 4 days before on Fri. I noticed Toronto at 9:30 last night was still a insane 33C/90F Humidex 43C/110F.

Its nice out there but hotter air temp wise, my station got briefly to 35.3C/95F, humidex of 45C also higher than Sun. RH lower. Almost no clouds at all, and getting windy. I wish I could ken how windy my other mid-30 readings have been because it seems unique.

Yesterday I got to 33C/90F, Heat Index of 50C/122F, Humidex of 44C/111F. Air temp was standard for a heat wave but the humidity is extreme. I don't ken last year getting these values maybe not even for several years. Overnight low under-performed at 23C, clear blue skies already 29C humidex of 37 . Point today also 33C.

This is historic, my low was 25C/77F! I didn't think we would pull that off (I gave it 10% of verifying), extremely rare but the historic part is it was rising in the overnight period to 26C/79F before going back to 25. I'm getting different humidex readings but my station seems the most realistic at 30C at 6:30 am. Other stations around me confirmed 26C, among the warmest in Bruce-Grey. Northern Owen Sound around the bay had 27C/81F. Perfect conditions to achieve this - overcast overnight, breezy to mix things, and very humid. Captivatingly WUN is showing another low of 25C tomorrow - never seen back to back.

Long storm around noon to early aft, just avg. On radar there was a segment of the large MCS that looked to be bowing and racing SE towards me. Just as it reached it fell apart fast and I didn't have any unusual wind gusts. In awe that my station put out <4mm - it seemed to be a deluge. WUN had over 20mm expected during it.

The start of the heat wave here busted; only got to 27 instead of 30C, my current temp is 25C but some showing it rising mid-evening and staying around 27C til early morning. They lowered (WUN) tomorrow's high from 34 to 31C, what a gas! That heavy rain and storm mid-day cooled things but I feel the sultry with the vital breeze.

DTX looks to be at 100F, just about on Mon, I'll be 92F. Top tier lows during the weekend/Mon - so far showing 22C-24C. I'm looking forward to it!

TWN forecasting Tues the most humid day of 2025 yet, 30C humidex of 36C/97F. Similar to last Monday WUN has just a 25% of any precip while TWN is 40% for most of mid-day including strong storms. Will TWN catch another storm WUN misses? Today way over-performed I'm at 28C not 25, a relief from the clouds too.

About 5 years ago during this period, I ken 5 or more days of clear sunny skies in a row; unheard of even during summer months here. Not even 2012 had that kind of streak I'm aware of. We had a couple good days, now back to grunge.

This is a perfect summer day, stiff breeze with the scent of flowers and vegetation everywhere - 27C/81F full sun now after overcast in morning. Fav day so far of the year

I ended up getting my 13th storm of the year, TWN snagged this one with pegged storms but WUN had the amount nearly down to the mm (I got 8mm, basically that was shown) and the 99% which for a squall line makes sense. Infrequent but bright, 'blooming' lightning. My ws didn't detect half of them strikes, I got 75.

I have an unusual hourly setup later tonight - partly sunny at 7pm, then rain by 8, heavy rain of 4mm at 9, then back to mostly cloudy at 10. Like a pop up storm but only TWN has that risk. WUN has 99% chance of rain while TWN is 60%.

Already 26C/79F - I'm thinking I get to 30 and over-perform. Low will be 21-22C overnight!

The most smoky day yet, the sky is entirely blotted out with the modest orange ball. Now instead of streaks of overcast we have this dreaded blight!

My low was 3C/37F. The smoke plume has arrived over me looking at sat. With how dank this May was, at least I wasn't breathing in the smoke with that haze blocking out 25% of the sun. Not sure about these sunny days coming up.

Enjoyed last evening once it was clear, felt better. Then first thing this morning walked quite a bit while it was sunny with the green everywhere established. Now back to overcast as of 10:30, this is unreal. Still feels chilly too.

Another dark overcast day 8C/43F, first rays of sunlight briefly in about 100 hours early in aft. This is the shittiest May 18-24 I've ever lived through!

Haven't seen the sun for 3 days, high of 8 to 10C/46F each time - feels good man. Don't know how often we get into single digit highs this late into May but I know of none. Last week its deep summer of 28C/83F for days on end, now back to fall. Maybe it'll get to nearly 40 by the time my favorite month rolls in.

After scrolling and smash, just make a run for it barefoot! Here's another offbeat clip, Reed throws up in his mouth after a close call: https://x.com/Nerdy_Addict/status/1924982658649543083 I have no idea why and what is happening, Reed doesn't seem to be the type to get shook from a close call. It reminded me how there was a report that during a chase he had a seizure years ago, no closure on that either. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=embed_video&v=1206443284825789 ^ Total bedlam, the others in the car start screaming that they are in danger, to stop recording, after the dominator is spun.

This is a historic tornado that just hit Plevna KS, already seeing homes leveled - not sure how much of Plevna was destroyed as reports are showing mainly the west part was hit. Apparently the gtg got to 250mph just before hitting. What is it with night time monsters this year? Every event.

Peculiar since there is so little lightning illuminating the tornadoes themselves til recently when this monster spun another wedge that was seen a few mins ago. As of 11:38pm CDT, the gtg is 210mph!

So there is a confirmed large wedge tornado heading towards Greensburg KS, north movement, at night, also in May - WTF!?
