June 2025 Obs/Disco

[TheClimateChanger]

Anyways, what I actually popped in to note. Looks like Fryburg Eastern Slopes AP tied the Maine state record high of 101F for the month of June yesterday. It previously reached 101F on 6/18/1907 at Millinocket, and at Grand Lake Stream on 6/17/1988.

Yeah the sensor is malfunctioning. It just did it again.

[CT Valley Snowman]

BDL is the cool spot in this area at 3 PM.  BAF 96, CEF 95, HFD 95 BDL 92. 

[ROOSTA]

Bogus, ERROR, Sensor malfunction, bad data reading.
My Davis recorded a "blipp" on wind speed once: GUST 238mph.

I have a TWI-8000 in the carport, never assembled and put in the field.
In the past it is the most accurate equipment I've ever used. 
Two Davis because of convenience is enough

Bizarre. Who ever heard of BDL running as the cool spot? They've really neutered a lot of these ASOS sensors. Ever since Trump took office, all of these big warm spots have suddenly disappeared. Makes it difficult to compare to recent past heat waves. They have them set on hard mode for this heat wave, and we're still throwing up big numbers.

BOX fixed the sensor. It was running a clear 3F too warm. It's been pretty good lately.

Hopefully the Euro wins.

We sad but we know we’re not Vegas or Phoenix. Couldn’t last forever. Some nice 85-90 days around the 4th would be good. Hard to believe but that’s just over a week away. Time flies. 

It used to drive me crazy when the older generations in my family would say “after the Fourth of July July summer is practically over”

That's how I remember it and found an old document from the EPA that has the same value.  With that said, Daryl Herzmann and IEM is an extremely reputable source, which would suggest it may have been changed at some time for consistency with wind measurements. Not sure. The WMO standard is for 5-minute averaging, but not all jurisdictions use that. The UKMET Office uses only 1-minute averaging for its platinum resistance thermometers, which I only recently learned from some complaining denialists from across the pond. These guys are always the biggest snowflakes. Oh, there's too much red on the weather map. The temperature is illegitimate because it's based on only a 1-minute average instead of a WMO 5-minute average! Etc., etc...

Wind changed in the 2000s when ASOS transitioned from cup and vane anemometers to the ultrasonic ones. That change only affected gusts as the averaging period was reduced from 5 to 3 seconds to match the WMO standard made possible by using a more responsive instrument.

@CoastalWx

Got a date of a good screen door slammer at BOS within the last 2 years?

[Chinook]

this was a historically hot day for Maine. Augusta got to a high of 100 with a low of 68. 100 shattered the record of 93. The 68 was not the warmest of all time

It's 2-meters keep nicking off degrees every run though - it may be that a collapsed model solution is nearing. 

It's an odd looking surface synopsis for 18z in these Euro runs, too.   That much damming just looming from the NE, yet no BD coming down, is atypical climo to say the least.

I don't trust it, but it would be interesting to see that.    

GFS-like solutions are climate friendlier.  On the flip side, the Euro is typically not that grossly inaccurate at < 4.5 days, whereas the GFS has made more gaffs in that range. 

hard to say or sell either way

Bye BOS

You sound disappointed.

97F here in E CT, hoping some of those showers just north of me make down here to cool things off…Some decent outflow boundaries visible on radar moving this way from the east

[bristolri_wx]

Woo hoo coastal sea breeze front movin through...

[WxWatcher007]

Just had a bird somehow hit the solar panels on the roof. The other birds went absolutely crazy—they were incredibly loud for a few minutes.

I think they did over correct the sensor the other way...I'll have to put a call in to the ASOS techs.

My hot tub I mean pool is a record 96 today.  Not bad for an inground pool

It's fine. It's back to what it used to be.

Seems like we're a degree or two less than Barnes and Brainard. Is that how it was before?

HFD and BDL are both 80.5F for the avg high in June through yesterday.

Oh ok, I just meant the last couple days of the heatwave but I guess the difference is negligible or literally zero over a longer time period

[powderfreak]

Dews are finally dropping... from 63F to 55 in the past couple hours.  You can feel the relief finally.

82/55 now.

Didn't realize the dews were in the upper 30s in parts of Maine, wow.  What a gradient.

That makes me think of the first time I got in the pool when living in Little Rock three years ago. No need for a heater as the sun turned the relatively small pool into a bath.

I mean we're talking 100F vs 99F

 

I just picked a random hot month...July 2011.

HFD 87.9
BDL 87.3

Both hit 103F on the hottest day.

Yeah, it doesn’t seem out of step with the surrounding areas. A little surprised it didn’t get 100 yesterday, but like you said it was literally a degree. Anything can happen when trying to achieve 100 around here.
