July 2025 obs

[suzook]

Truly amazing how much rain has gone around me where I live. We have accumulated .40" of rain in the last 30 days, while just a few miles away have gotten 2 to 4 inches. Getting crispy out there especially with the constant 90 degree days. Not really seeing any break in the future.

Day 1 of heat wave and we hit 96 with a heat index of 116.

[marsman]

101.5 at 2:40pm. First 100+ since 6/25 when I hit 101.2. 

[NorthHillsWx]

98.7 today and honestly it’s sad that it didn’t even feel that bad. Just used to it at this point 

[yotaman]

High of 98. At one point our dew point hit 83.7 which translates to a HI of 126. I was inside napping.

[wncsnow]

Got up to 96 at the house with a max heat index of 104. Thats one of the highest heat indexes I have ever had here. 

 

We have been pretty dry the last 10 days but next weekend looks wet and cooler 

[yotaman]

Ughhhh. Currently at 1:12 pm it is 96/86 for a feels like of 130. Walk out side and my glasses instantly fog up. It feels like walking into a wall of humidity. Storms are starting to pop up so hopefully we get at least a good outflow boundary if not a good rain.

1. Fayetteville, NC, already hit 100 at 1PM! The HI was 114!

2. Tampa has on record never hit 100 with records back to 1890! Other than the Keys and St. Pete, all other major FL stations have hit 100 with most several times. Even Miami hit 100 in July of 1942.

Edit for correction: I forgot to check Naples. Their alltime highest on record is 98, which they tied today.

Tampa was 97 at 1PM today, a whopping 7 hotter than 24 hours earlier! Unlike yesterday at 1PM, winds today are from a hot inland NE direction. Skies are mostly sunny. They’ll have a chance to barely hit 100 though the forecast is for upper 90s.

There’s a 597-8 dm H5 high centered over S GA.

[marsman]

Clouds and showers in the area keeping the temp down a bit. 95.2 just before 2pm, high so far was 98.5 at 12:15. HI shows 120. 

[GaWx]

1. Thanks to a popup thunderstorm, FAY plunged from 100 and an HI of 114-5 at 1PM to 83 at 2PM!

2. Tampa hit 99 at 2PM. 99 ties the alltime record hit 6/26/2020 and 6/5/1985!

There is an earthy funkiness in the air this afternoon in Garner

Is spontaneous rotting from heat  a thing ?

That’s the date that records began in Tampa, not the date of the prior record high.

[NorthHillsWx]

Only 95.6 here today. Got an outflow from a cell a couple miles south and timing kept us from maxing out

 I earlier had forgotten to check Naples. They like Tampa before today also hadn’t on record reached 100. Their alltime highest on record (back to 1942) is 99, which they missed by just one degree today! But they tied their alltime record July hottest with their 98.

[GaWx]

 Highest I saw on my thermometer today was 98.7. It’s still 96.6. 

 Highest at Hunter was hottest of the year so far with ~100 w/HI of ~110. Highest at KSAV was 97 with HI of ~107.

[yotaman]

Our high was 96. An weak outflow boundary hit us and dropped temp to 88. At 5 pm we had a very nice thunderstorm come thru and dropped .99". That puts us at 5.88" for the month.

And 113 for peak heat index.  

Summers are getting unreasonable here.

[GaWx]

 Jacksonville (tied daily record), Hogtown, and Leesburg (new record for date) joined Tampa at 100 for yesterday’s high.

 Based on hourlies, it’s possible that either or both of Augusta and Columbia had lows of 80. If so (we should know later this morning) and if convection doesn’t bring lower temps than 80 the rest of today, this would mean:

-at Augusta (Bush) it would tie the warmest low for any date since 1945 and would be the warmest July low since 80 in 1990

-at CAE it would tie for the warmest July low since 1893

Edit: CAE’s lowest this morning was, indeed, 80. Let’s see whether or not later convection at or near there cools it to below 80 before midnight.

But Augusta’s low turned out to be 78.
