jrips27 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 At least I'm smart enough to know there are 54 days until fall and not 76 !! That's right, in the weather community Sept 1st is the beginning of fall, not Sept 23rd !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Dewpoint and HI is very subjective. I live on Hilton Head, and it hasn't had a DP below 70 it seems since late April. Many early mornings are temp of 81 and HI of 88. Not very hot because of the breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherfide Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Thunder all around,light rain at the moment, about .20 thus far. Looks like most of the heavy stuff will slide just to my south. Congrats Peachtree City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 This summer is blowing past hot summers away in terms of 90+ temps in Atlanta. This is a comparison of this summer to 2 other really hot summers ( 1980 and 2010) # of 90+ days through July 9: 1980: 21 2010: 24 2011: 39 Just to keep things in perspective, Atlanta only averages 40 or 45 days of 90+ for an entire summer and they have just about reached that number on July 9 !!

On top of that you don't state if you are using meteorological summer of actual summer solstice from a starting point. Regardless there has only been 39 days in Meteorological summer so far ,so I doubt your numbers are even close to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless there has only been 39 days in Meteorological summer so far ,so I doubt your numbers are even close to correct. I went to the NWS website to add the number of 90+ days for 2010 and 2011 and I went to wunderground.com to find the info for 1980. This is the # of 90+ days in Atlanta this year by month: May = 6 June= 24 July = 9 I know I said "summer", but I was looking at any month in the year in which there were 90+ temps.

dsaur Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Thunder all around,light rain at the moment, about .20 thus far. Looks like most of the heavy stuff will slide just to my south. Congrats Peachtree City! Ahem....you forgot TonyLand It is definitely hit and miss time around here. Got .2 in over a week, then I've gotten 2 inches in the last 3 days. A nice 1.2 in the last hour or so! At least lately even if it doesn't rain, I get the clouds, so...though I may see the 90's I'm also apt to see the 70's too. I'll take that! Heat Index is all very subjective and based on human perception. As different people perceive heat index temperatures differently it is not very technical and why you should just look at temperature in general. There are numerous variables that go into calculating a heat index and not every person fits them exactly so a heat index value will have a different effect on different types of people. As to temp vs skin feel......If you want to freakin' kill yourself because of the heat and humidity, ...It Is Too Hot!!! Please, winter...come swiftly, lol.

T Was not sure it was going to hit you, but glad it did! I got about .50 out of it. Many and frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes south of me. There must have been a structure fire as right after it calmed down, I could smell the acrid smoke blowing in from the southerly breeze out of the storm.

FoothillsNC Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 same here. At midnight it was still 80. The wicked dewpoints are coming for most everybody, but slightly less in the lee of the Apps and the mountains, but not comfy anywhere. Downright dangerous in west Tenn and Kentucky for a period, with GFS predicting dewpoints anywhere from upper 70s' to MID 80s. Parts of Alabama as well on Monday afternoon and night. Then eastern Carolinas and part of GA may get the 80 dewpoints at some point Mon or Tuesday. Never experienced that, and don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Wxkid/folks, Fwiw, the 6Z 7/9 gfs has backed off further on the very intense heat with "only" +22 C at 850 and 98 F at the sfc for 7/12-3 for KATL. Compare this to just 24 hours earlier when that 6Z gfs had 26C as the hottest at 850 and 103 F as the hottest at the sfc. The 0Z 7/9 Euro also has its hottest at 850 at ~+22C. Even the Euro has cooled about 1 C in the last 24 hours. http://wxweb.meteost...shtml?text=KATL Folks, Compared to 24 hours earlier at KATL, The 6Z 7/10 gfs has cooled a tiny bit more at 850 with ~+21.5 C for its hottest. vs. ~+22 C 24 hours earlier. Also, this compares with ~+25.5 to +26 C just 48 hours earlier (~7-8 F cooling at 850). At the sfc, it kept KATL's 7/12 high at 98 F but lowered 7/13's high from 98 F to 96 F. It had KATL at a whopping 103 F for those days just 48 hours earlier. The 0Z 7/10 Euro has also slightly cooled at 850 with it now at +21.5 C vs. +22 C 24 hours earlier and +23 C 48 hours earlier. I'm now thinking that the highest KATL will get this week will be ~96-97 F. That's still quite hot and uncomfy, especially considering the humidity, but it isn't the ridculous 103 F that had been predicted for the second time this month by the GFS (1st time was for very early July). By the way, the 6Z gfs has KATL's high for today at 95 F. With its noon temp. at only 85 F, I see "only" low 90's for today. Also, it has TD's of ~66-67 vs. the actual TD of 73 F. http://wxweb.meteost...shtml?text=KATL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 87 temp with a DP of 78, giving a HI of 100. Like everything, you get used to it. I think one day in the last ten weeks had a DP under 70, and that was a 69. Unlikely to see another for another eight weeks or so. If it wasn't for the sea breeze, it would be more ridiculous on the body. The breeze helps a lot. Still beats the seven month winters in the north though.

Itunis Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Some of the first >70 DPs of the year here and it's brutal outside, even with temps in the mid 80s. Most of the time this summer we'd have dew points in the low to mid 60s during the afternoon, making it somewhat bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Lol, the 12Z gfs per MeteoStar has KATL at 96 F at 2 PM and 97 F for a high! It is only 86 F at 1 PM. So, it will obviously be way off as of 2 PM. It also has the TD at only 69 vs. the actual in the low 70's. This model is in lala land at the sfc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 We have been seeing temps in the 90s or higher everyday since like the beginning of june and dewpoints have been in the 70s and yesterday was 80. Overnight lows are always around 73-76. It was 94 with a dew point of 79 earlier with the heat index near 110, now its only 87 with a dew point of 78 and HI of 101 because of the storms around. It still hasnt rained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
