Busting up here. 0.30” so far and another heavy batch to go so we’ll take whatever we can get, but 1-2” isn’t happening. That’ll be CON-south where there’s already over an inch. S NH be stealin my rain now.
Yeah I never really bought it. The warmest min that month was 93F and they had 4 straight lows of 85F during that 130-134F stretch. That's like 45-50F ranges. Nowadays during record heat the mins are usually 95-100F. So I'd argue that these recent 130F readings are their warmest temps ever. It probably gets a hair warmer somewhere in Badwater Basin though.
Everything will probably come together one of these days like it did for Portland and Seattle the end of June...breaking all-time heat records like it’s nbd.
That happened to me with a liberty apple tree in one of those big October rain/wind storms a few years ago. There was nothing left to the root ball. I ended up ditching it, but it was dormant so it may have survived as a bare root.
Those ORH numbers from the early 20th century were from the previous lower elevation site...not exactly a good station to "thread" in with the current ORH.
I laugh trying to imagine us getting a record coldest July like that…pulling 67/38 type COC days out here. lol…seems like climo from the last glacial maximum.
Over half of the country top 5. And it’s not west vs east either. Straight across from the whole west coast, along the canadian border, and into our region. Hadley flexing his muscles.
