August 2025 Summer Thread

It's finally here, our favorite month, August. 

it seems early month with be dominated by "Coc". Not sure we'll see a return to big #'s, but hopefully some heavy dew days and slow moving tropical rainers to keep Stein at bay. 

And perhaps some TC remnants very late month?

Let’s dew it

No, give me an early 2000s August with 40s at night in NNE.

After a bit of a dew-down, humidity will be back!   

90s will of course be harder to get.

I think 90s can easily happen even for you deep into August.  For you, probably a lot tougher after 8/20 and for the rest of us a few weeks later.  I saw a clown range gfs run enveloping almost the whole country inside of 594 heights at H5.  I don’t expect that but it seems plausible that it will continue AOA normal temperatures for August beyond 8/7 or so.

Yep.  Possible.  But my thinking is that we are moving past the big heat.  
Of course I also thought I wouldn’t get to 90 again this week….

For those thinking the heat and humidity is coming to an end, it’s only beginning

Yeah, it's basically January 29th.  Long hot summer continues.  It won't be long before days feel super short and time FLIES by, but right now it's low and slow!

After tomorrow it's likely going to be about two weeks of normal summer.  Warms back up mid month before another norm down.  The CFS and the Euro weeklies seem to be oddly in agreement about this.

If you were fat like me you wouldn't be excited about it

Good timing....I'll be traveling mid-month.

We've had only 2 heat waves in our 27+ years here, and 8/13-15 is one (other is 6/25-27/03).  August 2002 had an 8-day run, 11-18, that had an average high of 89 with each day at 87-91.  Wasn't too humid as the lows averaged 58, but our car's AC had conked out (at 204k miles) earlier that month.  Then 9/9-10/02 reached 93/92.  Since then, we've reached 90 eleven times but none later than June 28 - 2 in May and 9 in June.  Odd distribution; maybe the taller dews and busier trees of mid-late summer have held down the max temps.

Watch for big heat potential 8/9-15.  Could rival late June and yesterday in the pure magnitude.
