July 2025 Obs/Disco ... possible historic month for heat


Typhoon Tip

Probably this was temperature nadir this week.     With evaporating moisture adding back to anomalous dry DPs that arrived recently ... more WV is like a thermal battery at this time of year.   As the days shorten later in August, this can be offset by dew deposition but it's too early in the season for that.  There'll be dew tonight but it won't ring out the WV in time prior to sun up etc...

Heat wave later in the week?  Heights certainly correlate, but as usual the 2-m products are at the bottom of the potential range.  Except for Friday.. woof.  The front my be too aggressive for CNE but not a pistol to head forecast either.

The geopotential height medium appears subtly to hesitate the receding after Thur-Fri period... This may be the beginning of a trend to retard the frontal suppression - we'll have to see. It's the time of year for that sort of correction.  

But out there in the extended, the EPS is very bullish on a deep -2.5 type SD anomalous SPV up there over eastern Canada ... The GEFs is more seasonally compliant on that... while the operational runs of everything are as usual, deeper than their respective ens means.  So there's some relative moving error potential on that.

45.0° for the low here. Perfect night for astronomy, so I took out the big telescope last night. Took me about 2 hours to figure out why the damn mount kept trying to point the scope at things through the Earth though, which wasn't very fun.

No telescope, I can see Arcturus right there, up in the sky, it's not that patch of grass 10 ft away, ugh.

Wow, in a stunning reversal from the high heat and humidity, Saranac Lake dropped to 34F, tying its daily record low set in 1914.  The all-time record July monthly record low in the Saranac Lake threaded record is 29F, set on July 8, 1919. At the airport site, the all-time record low is 32F, which has been set on more than one day, last on July 28, 2001.

The all-time observed record low for the month of July in the state of New York is 25F, which was set at Allegany State Park, in Cattaragus County, on July 8, 1963.

Edited to remove the reference to Millbrook... I assumed that was a CRN site since xMacis labels it a "WBAN" station and not a "COOP" but it isn't and the temperature data for yesterday appears to be incorrect there. It obviously wasn't 87/32 there yesterday. Lol.

And some say we don't get air masses like that anymore lolz...
