If we are going to do heat then give me ‘95 over ‘88. Unless you’re looking for an extreme air temperature then you should want to take the humid summer of ‘95 to at least get a derecho or two.

 I was only 5 but I actually remember 1988 a little bit. That year clearly reigns supreme for extreme heat. I honestly do not know how they survived the 1930s to 50s with much less air conditioning and so much extreme heat

No A.C. in my childhood home at that time. We slept in the basement quite often that miserable summer.

It’s kind of funny how we can remember certain events from a young age. I can remember the warm Christmas of 1982 even though I was only 4. Although I can’t remember specifics, I can remember it because it was the main topic of conversation that day.

I don't remember being affected by the heat as a child.  I was skinny and didn't really sweat.  I got bigger after puberty, and only then started not liking heat.

I remember the basement flooding in September the same year, but I don't remember the heat so much.  September was extremely wet for some reason that year.  I think it was hurricane remnants tracking through.

Was a newlywed in '88. Had an older mobile home that baked with a western exposure all afternoon. Was broke after wedding and honeymoon so not even a thought of buying a window a/c unit. Night-time sleep temp inside was 88F with little circulation. Lost a ton of sleep that summer, then had to drive in an old car without a/c to a job on the top floor of an old building with skylights and zero a/c. Had an extreme case of heatwave fatigue when it was done. 113F heat index at KFNT and freeway grass fires in Genesee Cnty. Yeah, nothing will touch '88 for my personal misery index!

We're now in phase 7 of the MJO, but it's about to fall into the COD soon.

enlighten us as to what this means.

For this time of the year, Phase 7 into the COD would mean cooler-than-normal temperatures and equal-chances for above-normal or below-normal rainfall for the foreseeable future.image.png.455861193d840e584f927bf9710d42cf.png

With no signs of siginificant heat in the forseeable future and the potential of drier-than-normal conditions, these outlooks say ZZZZZZZZ.

was exactly the response I expected, copy and paste of maps.

 

the MJO in the summer does not have the same impact it does in the winter (or even spring/fall). so it’s fairly toss worthy.

Only time it matters is when it has decent amplitude which this current MJO wave doesn't.

The snooze-fest since the Feb snows shut off appears to continue unfortunately.  What an unfortunate stretch of weather we have here for weather enthusiasts.  Drought talk is of course relevant in the areas where it's festering, but it's sad that it's the highlight of the sub's weather discussion this summer.  A garden variety thunderstorm would be the highlight of the year if it were to occur for most of us lol.  Fu cking pathetic.
