Question is - who and when will people receive rainfall? Seems like some water is a good bet for some folks, but then again, many might not get anything until the weekend at least.
After reaching 92 yesterday, today looks like it'll be close to 90 again. Rest of the work week looks like 90 is pretty much a given, with highs later in the week reaching the mid 90s...at least.
I reached 92 today as well.
Great info on the tornado outbreak on 7/29. It was quite a day across the Commonwealth...of course, nothing like 5/31/1985. I have such vivid memories of that day watching the killer twisters in western and central PA and wondering if we were going to get in on the action here in the LSV. Fortunately, we did not.
I found this from the World Meteorological Organization: (this is more in line with your idea)
No formal, standardized definition of a heat wave exists. The World Meteorological Organization defines it as five or more consecutive days during which the daily maximum temperature surpasses the average maximum temperature by 5 °C (9 °F) or more. Some countries have adopted their own standards.
"Official" designation is what - 3 consecutive days above 90?
I agree with your thought process...reaching 90 has become almost routine. (save for a few cooler stretches like we've enjoyed this summer) but still...many days at or above 90 this year.
Yawn. I was outside all evening enjoying myself. 89/56 here today. You know, me and @mahantango#1are usually almost identical on high temps every day. Lows are a different story.
Humidity is still tolerable today, which is a good thing...it's up to 87 here already. Well above the projected high, and it's going to be a close call to 90.
Haha, yeah, well I won't let my wife see your post.
That's in part why I invested in the weather station.(s) All I need to do is spit out what the numbers are. No more guess work.
Speaking of the station, it's 74.8 here as I post this.
Agree 100%. In the past, it would take a week or 2 to fill a single page in this thread. If someone new comes in, that doesn't present a very friendly environment to start posting if they feel like the members don't even post much at all.
