August 2025 Summer Thread

[Typhoon Tip]

Nah ..I've witnessed plenty of warm and humid stretches through mid Septembers.  That bears out in climate, too. 

We're just in a low amplitude +PNA incoming, one that in my opinion is uncertain as to it's real impact on our temps and DPs.  There's a chance we'll end up in a EC paralleling flow regime. 

Until this arriving trough axis actually gets east of our longitude, "cold" air will attenuate if wait altogether in actually getting E.  The ensemble means and operational runs are lowering heights but keeping the trough west of us until late.   If add to that to a subtle tendency to also de-amplify troughs when moving their handling through the mid range, it's not hard to see that turning into a Bahama Blue or quasi variant of one as a compromise.  

If the PNA then resonates and a secondary push takes place ( D way out there...), yeah then it's playing with a gun.    

There's frost alerts in the Arrow Head of MN... while there is triple digit heat headlines in the PAC NW.  That concurrency is an anomaly in an of itself.

Honest to God. I’m at the beach just hanging out having a great time and seeing the kids just enjoying themselves….makes me wonder why winter is even worth it.

It really isn’t anymore . Go into winter with a low expectation and more often than not for the rest of at least my life. That’s how they’ll be . .  We’ll all be tracking this winter. But best for most of to expect another bad winter. Especially with that warm Pac pool . That thing is the kiss of death for EC winters.

winter is exactly the reason why the beach is so much fun in the summer

if you could have a summer beach experience any old time, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun

I went from ACATT to cheering on Mowvember through Thanksgiving. Hope for a couple of big events and a deep winter stretch in late Dec and Jan and then start cheering on sun angle and Morch.

Are STDs a pre requisite?

[Torch Tiger]

the first few snow events are genuinely refreshing and nostalgic, but the heating costs, illness/flu, miserable populace doesn't excite me.

You live in one of the few areas left in New England that still gets good winter. I’d be cheering on yore winters like we used to have from Nov- Morch

I know it isn’t the case, it can’t be, but I have this image from your posts that the only time your kids have any fun at all (throughout the entire year) is in hot, summer weather lol.

And for the other 9 months of the year, they just look out the window longingly… as a single tear runs down the face.

ladies and gentlemen the moment youve been waiting for the case study for the may 31st 1985 tornado outbreak a meteorological breakdown

it’s been mud and disappointment for three seasons at least.

Let’s go winter. Let watch lows to BGM and 10:1 maps show a foot at 34F vs this.

Beaches are boring. How long can you sit on your ass ? Different strokes for different folks I guess. A day or two a year in the spring at Clearwater otherwise yawn. Outer Banks are fun too but it takes forever to drive to any good bars.

If there was no water in the background I would have guessed that you were vacationing at @Lava Rock house

I enjoyed this…Very interesting…Never understood (till now?) why as a set up it was incredibly rare for this part of the country 

[KakashiHatake2000]

yeah same cyclone-68 i just gave it a watch too and most definitely is interesting from a meteorological standpoint

Some days I'm only good for an hour at the beach but others I can hang out all day.  I most enjoy swimming in the ocean but I've learned to bring an umbrella and a book if the family wants to hang for a bit. 

Late afternoon, into late evening hangs, on the Outer Cape beaches that allow fires, is lifelong memories.  Didn't get out there this summer but got in multiple Falmouth trips.  Overland Permit at Race Point on a clear night is mind blowing.

That is a pretty dry pattern moving forward.

Some of my best memories as a kid are spending weeks down the cape in harwich with the fam and all my cousins and just relaxing, playing games, hucking rocks at seagulls and doing all sorts of crazy stuff. The days well before smartphones and the internet took over practically everything. It’s something you never forget and it kills me that half my family has either moved south or is no longer with us. It’s not the same without the people you love.
