Something about a frog boiling...

If we had a year that was typical 100 years ago, people would think they’d moved to Boston or Portland, ME.

Another rip current day at the beach.  Longest stretch of ocean swim restrictions in a long time.

Went back and looked at my COOP records for RSTM2. I've only had about 6 days with a high at or above 95°, and no overnight lows above 80°. Compared to growing up in Philly in the 90s with no air conditioning, this wasn't the worst. 2012, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021 were wat worse, IMO.

It’s already 40.6 at Canaan NWR. 50ish at surrounding mountaintops it seems.

I am on a migraine medication with a side effect of being hotter in heat. It was unbearably hot at times.

Overnight runs are bone dry for the next 2 weeks. What a strange year precip-wise. Dryish through mid-late April, then wet to very wet through July, and potentially <1” (or even less in spots) from August 1 through mid September.

Brisk this morning, currently 52

Agreed. Most of our summer rains occurred on 7/19 and 8/1. Too much too fast.

Chilly low of 45.9. Beautiful sunrise.

[WVclimo]

Wasn’t it like top 3 hottest before August started? Yes August will drop it down the list.

I looked and was surprised to see June was just +0.6 and July +1.4 (DCA).  Check out this stretch in 2012 end of June beginning of July.  And weren't a lot of people out of power for days after that derecho in late June?

Low was 48.6 here, currently 48.8/48.1, wonderful!

Edit, checked, not a record, but close. Record is 48 from 1984.

Looks like today might actually be sunny unlike yesterday’s sunny that came with a fair share of clouds. I’m all in.

More from DCA.....

June...18th hottest

July....10th hottest:

DCA only. I would guess the others would be a bit hotter.

Low of 55 this morning here in the swamps of Anne Arundel

What's the deal with the Atlantic SSTs over the past week?  They fallen off a cliff.  Looks like it may be from Erin, pretty amazing to see how much of an impact a tropical system has on that.   

[Eskimo Joe]

Definitely a cool start to the day. Check out the difference between the Baltimore City and Towson sites.

 

 

[stormy]

45.7 degrees at 6:45!!     That would be normal at Staunton on October 10.

The mountain cloud factory is cranking a bit. Still a pleasant day, but kinda lol that the forecast here now says turning mostly cloudy this afternoon.

[87storms]

First time I’ve seen LWX mention the cloud bias…

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

Shortwave-trough dropping sewd from Michigan this afternoon will
result in bkn clouds this afternoon and isold-sct showers across
the mountains. Increased PoPs across the mountains and sky cvr
grids as NBM has a notorious low bias for cloud cvr and PoPs in
W to NW flow.
