  1. This is as useless as cold/dry. If better end with some good storms at least.
  2. This is true. In fact I read somewhere you could squeeze the entire human population into Texas alone. Everything you said about cities vs rural/suburbs is also true. The fact people travel hours everyday just to get to & from work is insane and very bad for the environment.
  3. How? Our average summer temperatures have been near or in the top 5-10 since 2010. Also the higher dews lead to higher heat indices which is what affects people the most rather than raw temps. This summer will be in the upper echelon with 100+ recorded at several locations this June and possibly this Thursday-Friday.
  4. Unless it's a late day high I'm gonna say no. It starts tomorrow. Overall pattern looks favorable for US hurricane strikes. No troughs to speak of.
  5. It's funny how they think Mars is the answer. Solving climate change on Earth is infinitely easier than building a Martian civilization.
  6. Starting to notice the decline in daylight a lot more now. Plenty of summer heat left though.
  7. It's still gonna be plenty hot. A few mid-upper 90 days are likely.
  8. So I'm guessing if you had your way you would just let the virus do its thing. No masks, no lockdowns, no vaccines right.
  9. That wouldn't be an issue this time. The upcoming heat wave will easily be the longest and possibly hottest period of the summer. Models already showing near 600 heights and upper 90s for next week and we know things tend to trend hotter as we get closer.
  10. If it's gonna be hot I wanna see some records. Let's get widespread 100s next week.
  11. It seems inevitable that COVID will have to burn through the population and become endemic. It's not gonna go away, it'll get weaker over time as most viruses do and we'll have to move on eventually. We're fortunate COVID is relatively harmless compared to previous illnesses of the past. I'll take a 0.1-0.3 percent death rate over 5-10% or better.
  12. Yeah probably but the period before that (5-15) looks like a scorcher. There could be 100s.
  13. Massive NW Atlantic ridge setting up 2nd week of August plus tropics firing up. Could be an interesting period. Very hot & potentially stormy too.
  14. It'll be a dew furnace. EPS has over the top heights to the northeast suggesting a lot of onshore flow.
  15. An unusually cool 53F this morning. Enjoy this week of pleasant, dry weather because there's some serious heat starting 2nd week of August.
  16. I think the peak of the heat has passed and this year it was unusually early (late June). There's nothing that screams big heat into mid August but it should be warmer than normal/dewy & stormy maybe. After August 20 the chance of 95+ temps drop off rapidly but that doesn't mean it can't happen.
  17. I agree. The system does seem to be intensifying a bit though but not thinking more than some stronger non-severe storms.
  18. Yeah deaths were really low in comparison to cases so the vaccines are working. We'll be a little worse off given our lower vaccination rate but I don't see a massive increase in deaths.
  19. Things aren't looking great. CAPE looks weak with all the clouds. Could end up being a high shear/low CAPE type affair. I would be surprised to see severe.
  20. That's ultimately what it comes down to. If COVID acts like the common cold then that's fine but if it leads to hospitalizations & deaths then that's a problem. And COVID will ultimately be endemic and join the other coronaviruses we deal with so sooner or later we'll have to move on.
