Hoosier Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 1 hour ago, beavis1729 said: Interesting that ORD has only had 4 days with high temps of 82+ so far in 2019, with zero days of 84+. Not sure what the average # of 82+ days is for ORD by June 13th in any given year, but it has to be significantly higher that what we've seen in 2019. Normal high this time of year is 80, but it ramps up quickly to 85 by the end of June. Strangely enough - despite all of the whining about how chilly it has been this Spring, the overall mean temp for the period April 1st - June 13th at ORD has been essentially normal. Just not a lot of excessively cool or warm days. To me, this apparent contrast illustrates that it's still fairly early in the warm season for NE IL, given the lake influence. I generally consider "consistent summer" at ORD to be June 10th - Sep 10th, as opposed to May 15th - Sep 10th in other areas of IL away from the lake. No complaints from me; even with the excessive rainfall, temps have been fairly pleasant in May/June so far. The average number of 82+ days by now is about 10 days. Rough and dirty estimate... could be off by a day or so. In any case, definitely running behind the average for those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 While the relatively cool weather continues here, the southern plains are baking. Laredo TX hit 109 yesterday, with a peak hourly heat index of 116 (temp 107, dew 69). And, today will set a daily record high min of 83 (old record 82 in 2011).

Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Is there any time of year where sunshine dominates in the midwest? Seems like winter, spring, and summer is primarily cloudy and rainy. Maybe fall ? I'm convinced that the midwest is even cloudier than the Pacific northwest.

I grew up on the Kitsap Peninsula, just west of Seattle. All 18 years of my child/early adulthood! It rarely rains in the summer. We would get the occasional onshore flow bringing us clouds off the Pacific, and maybe a bit of drizzle, but there is sunshine galore from about May-October. Not only does Fort Wayne (where I live now) get more annual rain than Seattle, it is far cloudier. Fall in Indiana, however, has proven to be the most reliable and pleasant of seasons. Lots of sun, stunning color, and an occasional severe threat to keep things interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The % Sun number measures the percentage of time between sunrise and sunset that sunshine reaches the ground. Total Hours is the average number of sunny hours the city normally has in a year. Clear Days is the average number of days annually when cloud covers at most 30 percent of the sky during daylight hours. Hours of sunshine are the means calculated for 1961 to 1990. Indianapolis is the top row of hours and Seattle the bottom.

My chart might be hard to read, but Seattle does beat out Indy in July and also in August. Believe it or not, other than a near-tie in March, Indy wins every other month of the year.

Chambana Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 One of the absolute worst starts to summer I can ever remember. Temps running right around -3.5 for the month, wouldn’t be bad if the damn rain would stop. This pattern has been relentless. Honestly though, I said this back in April, this spring/early summer has been very 2013 ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thank goodness the 21st has passed. DST just flippin' sucks. Still daylight at 9:30 and twilight after 10? DST wasn't so bad down south but when I moved back here it blew my mind. Especially since IN was a holdout. I don't give a crap about the advantages they spout out.

Daylight savings time and time changes don't bother me, but it's ridiculous when the sun rises at 8:00 AM in the dead of winter and sets after 9:00 PM in summer. I feel that if everything was shifted backwards an hour all would be better. I lived in Illinois for a while as well, and the sunrise/sunset times seemed to make a lot more sense there, with the only issue being how early the sun would set in the winter.

janetjanet998 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I wonder if the models will start to trend south with the heat dome for later in the week..it seems wagons south this year so far also that would mean any MCSs will be more South as they turn the ridge and move SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
