I have some health issues which doesn't help, but gotta work, gotta live. Is this something we haven't seen before here???! (and sorry if I've posted in the wrong place here) It's really not and not sure why it's being so hyped. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be pretty hot, the duration will be impressive. We are looking at potentially a 7 day heatwave in some if the urban areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 This never happened on our last week of school. That cold pool south of Greenland won't let up. Just a snowy ride on the bus on the last week of the school year. June 26, 2018 in #Gander. #nlwx #nltraffic pic.twitter.com/hvlDHUeLjh 3:58 AM - 26 Jun 2018 from Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2018/06/26/its-nearly-july-but-this-poor-city-in-canada-just-woke-up-to-snow/?utm_term=.a3366107331b The thing that makes this storm unique is how late in the month it came. According to Rodney Barney, a meteorologist at Environment Canada, Gander reported 2 centimeters of snow at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, which was a record for accumulating snow so late in the season. The previous record was June 14, 1976. Snow depth records date back from 1955, according to Barney. https://www.worldclimateservice.com/sst/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Despite the cloud cover, my UV index peaked at 13 (very briefly), solar irradiance peaked at 1171wm^2, both the highest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Must be some really pretty sunrises and sunsets in the Caribbean.

the_other_guy Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Is this the summer month many of us feared? We were all wondering when one of the +7 months would hit in July or August. Could this be the start or will it fizzle out? I cant help but think how brutally cold January started this year...and how tamely it ended.

bluewave Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 That summer 1988 record 20 day heatwave at Newark was one of the weirdest summer events of all time. July 1988 was the wettest on record at Newark with 9.98" of rain. The 20 day 90 degree streak from 7/29 to 8/17 only had .06 of rain. The .06 of rain was the driest 7/29 to 8/17 ever at Newark. The increase in summer clouds and moisture since then is probably the one thing preventing the 2010's from making a run a 20 days of 90 in a row.

Just goes to show how difficult it is to get a 20 day or greater heatwave. While the summer of 2010 was dry, we didn't have the intense drought over the Upper Plains like 1988.

Wow - the AMM is the most negative it has ever been for June (-2.5 sigma for June), and the third most negative value since 1948. Meanwhile, the PMM is large and positive. The spatial SST structure is "as AMM as it gets".aos.wisc.edu/~dvimont/MMode… pic.twitter.com/h2VApVlZGi 1:14 PM - 2 Jul 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave0176 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hello all, been lurking this forum since 2009, don’t know much about weather except what I learned from you guys. The only thing I’m good for is IMBY updates. I love winter and snow, but I also love summer and extreme heat. The forum has been great to me because of my business. I own DL Mechanical LLC Heating and Cooling. Currently live in Port Reading NJ but am moving at the end of August to Brick NJ. Right now Brick is clear and sunny and 86 degrees 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
