MN Transplant Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It's no 2010, but we're racking up quite a few 90s this year. Time to haul out this chart again. No 2010, but holding its own against the rest of the top 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS MAV says yes GFS MEX says yes GFS raw says no NAM MET says no NAM raw says no Just for those of us keeping score, all 3 airports have been 90+ since July 18th, right? Also, I can't find the thread where "heat wave" was defined, but was it that all three airports had to be 90 or above for three consecutive days, or any airport for three consecutive days, or something completely different?

"Heat Wave" is just for one site, and it is 90+ for three days. It is a lame definition in the heart of summer, but that's what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
