I'd love it if the Brach's Classic Jellybeans came out---I could live on those. While we're still getting a fair number of clouds, we're out to mostly sunny, fresh breeze, and 74 at 1:30. We COC.

moneypitmike Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The lawn in GC miraculously stayed green in the high heat summer. What a world of difference compared to the parched landscape of the Maine Midcoast. 74.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually wondering if they would mention that. On a similar front, do the models account for it as well and what impact might that have on forecasts? We're talking about a large swath of land and I'm wondering if it has a negative or positive impact on the forecast if the model isn't expecting a temperature drop through all the different levels across a 3,000 mile swath.

I was wondering that too. Is that temperature drop a manual forecast change or does the gridded model data do that automatically? Do the models factor in these rare but easily foreseen solar events.

powderfreak Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I can't believe the last time we hit 80F was 10 days ago. In mid-August. Only 5 days this month have hit 80F, and 4 of those were Aug 1-4. The other 15 days have been 70s or even 60s. Hottest weather by far was in June, though even that month was -1.2 on the whole. Departures: June...-1.2 July...-3.0 August...-1.5 That's pretty consistent below normal to even well below by summer standards. Warmest temp in July and August is 84F so far at the ASOS. Warmest temp at the local PWS in town for July was 82.7F The ASOS definitely does a bit higher ranges (warmer daytime, colder nights) than the closest PWS, but that's the field Climo vs. forested area.

Asolo is my boot of choice because they are a great fit for more narrow feet and super comfortable with good support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple things I do recommend are a boot that covers the ankles and one with a firm sole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 A couple things to note as we hear the death-knell of summer: Maximum sun angle is now below 60* (solstice high of 71*) We've lost an hour and 37 (?) minutes of daylight. The rate of daily daytime loss is now 2:38, a rate which will increase to 2:44/day by the end of the the month. tic-toc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
