powderfreak Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 +1 is the new below normal that's exactly what I was thinking. Pretty soon we'll need to change how we think about it... even a month around +/- 0F should be termed "cool" these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Does climo remember what a below normal season is like? Much less two back-to-back months? Haha. Its going to be pretty easy to win any argument going "warm" these days... forecasting colder than normal seems like an uphill battle. This week is going to feel great, though. Someday it'll cycle back around to some degree...even with gw. People in the 70s were worried about an impending ice age...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 We had the last 7-10 springs rather lousy overall, so I guess we were due for a few BSE. Lousy, being typical Spring weather to even worse than typical weather, so I guess we are owed some nice Springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 With the 30yr normals updating every 10yrs our demise will be sooner than anyone imagined if we never get a sustained BN streak again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 The cool spell appears to be an island of cool in a burgeoning hot summer. This week from Wednesday on were intolerably hot in the city. Today and tomorrow a tad above and a good amount below Monday though Wednesday. Thereafter all guidance brings less impressive heat back in but above normal just the same for next weekend and beyond for a spell. NNE may escape and even in Boston we may get some nice cbreeze days but above normal is the theme after this week's trof lifts out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 68/54, -rn, just a brutal heatwave here in GC, looks like it will only be getting worse with highs in the 60's this week. Tuesday will be particularly bad as it may stay in the scorching 50's for highs. What an unrelenting torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 wrist slitting stuff man, 87 degrees here not a cloud in the sky with zero humidity, bbq and firepit will be epic tonight! Nah, played 18 this AM in Stockbridge,Ma in full sun and low 70's. Now back home in GC and it's awesomely cool. A quick drink of water for gardens and then BBQ tonight in a sweatshirt. Perfect. It was 59 in Peru when I went through an hour ago. How awesome is that!!!! Way better than sweating your azz off in stagnant heat. So glad summer is flying by and I love how the EURO continues the theme of troughiness over New England. Looks like any heat stays out of here. Maybe a warmish day here and there but overall the theme is for cool and unsettled. So sweet. I'm beginning to think you'll never PM me with a date for golf.

ORH_wxman Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What a disaster this thread was this morning...lol. BOS and PVD just came off a 3 day mid-90s heat wave in June and are still -2F for the month. Guess facts are tough for some. ORH and BDL are still below normal and will finish there for the month...BDL has a slight chance to finish positive if Saturday is a huge torch.

Lousy, being typical Spring weather to even worse than typical weather, so I guess we are owed some nice Springs. We had a stretch from 2002-2008 where 6 of the 7 springs were below normal. We've gotten some climo payback in the other direction the last 3 years. 2009 had a slightly above average spring but a very cool summer. I remember we had a period of warm springs too from '98-'01 after a bunch of cool ones in the mid 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK.. sans March. 1990: -1.9 1991: +4.4 1992: -1.9 1993: +1.4 1994: +0.7 1995: -1.6 1996: -0.5 1997: -2.4 1998: +2.1 1999: +1.0 2000: -0.6 2001: +1.0 2002: +0.4 2003: -2.9 2004: +1.3 2005: -1.4 2006: +0.9 2007: +0.3 2008: +0.8 2009: +1.4 2010: +4.9 2011: +1.7 2012: +3.7 I think spring '02 is my BSE benchmark. I remember a stretch from mid-April through most of May that was very dry, lots of sun, 70-ish by day and cool by night. In fact, April-May 2002 was the last time we had a spring with above normal highs and below normal lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
