Way too early to be confident about anything, but those who predicted all to be over have to be seriously rethinking themselves.

After May? Most places don't average even 1 90 degree date by this point.

 

I wasn't quoting his post to respond to it specifically, moreso to keep the conversation going.  Sorry for the confusion, I was more alluding to the trends looking naso good for those who expect most of the Midwest cities to record above their normal 90 degree days.

Once again, it is the 3rd of June, lets start talking about trends of below normal 90 degree days when the summer is closer to be half over instead of not having started yet...

lets not be so confident or say cocky of avg or above avg amount 90's occurring this summer either before summer has even started, road goes both ways and the pattern as of now doesn't scream region wide torch but, I'm sure we'll see enough heat but nothing sustaining like the past few summers.  I'm with Deedler.

I am not saying I am confident in the sense that I am 100% sure it will be all above average, note I did side that way but I am not thinking it will be grossly above average. That being said the problem I have is saying definitatively that it those who picked over are in trouble when it is June 3rd. Honestly it is asinine to even say something along that lines and it just shows the lack of climatological knowledge, as I stated most places on the list don't even average a single 90 degree day in May so there is really little basis to say it is above or below average to this point.

Agree with the sentiment....but we see the same thing with snow in winter. People speaking of snow futility by mid December when there's 4 months of snow potential to go.

That said I believe 90F days will be below normal, but probably not in 2009 territory.

It's not the sentiment that's the problem, but the fact that he based his entire post on nothing more than what happened the past 3 years with the drought and that sentiment.

It's like the folks who expected 2011-2012 to be a snowy winter simply because of how snowy the past 4 winters were and because they made their predictions before winter officially arrived.

And yes, I'm sure he and a few others will have some douchebag reply to this post. Whatever gets them through the day...

  • 4 weeks later...

ORD has had two 90+ days this year, second one happened today. But even if they didn't have one at this point, it's not that rare.

Indianapolis doesn't have one yet this year, and will escape June without one. That's a bit more rare.

Looks like Milwaukee, Chicago and Detroit are all going to go through June without posting a 90F high yet this year, the odds in a typical year are pretty slim for that, though like last year this is far from a typical year weather-wise.

 

 

just a quick glance going back to 1998 there was only 4 Junes in Milwaukee without a 90 high temp.

My mistake, I thought they just missed it today, and I admittedly only looked at June, but I see they had one on May 14th.  It's still probably a 1 in 10 chance for both Milwaukee and Detroit to go without a 90F day through June (and not out of the question the search will continue through the first half of July given it will start seasonable or below).

The 90 degree thing and heat is kind of funny.

For several Great Lakes cities, if the high every day was 86 and the low 68 from June through August, it'd be the hottest summer on record.

This month will go down as having below average 90 degree days. But was it below normal tempwise? Most places will end up normal or a degree or two above.

Detroit will make it to July 1st (and beyond) without yet hitting 90F for the year. How rare is it to not have a 90F+ day in June?

Since 1887, which is 126 years, 36 of them did not hit 90F, which is a 28.6% chance. When you account for the occasional 90F days in May, the overall historical odds of not yet seeing a 90F+ day by June 30th are approximately 25%. However, if you want to use the 30-year "normals" mantra that is what they deem is the average these days, then the probability plummets to just a 10% shot of not seeing a 90F day through June 30th. (I personally am not a fan of such short data sets for norms, but if your going to use them, then it makes it even more impressive that DTW hasnt hit 90F).

 

Also...since 1887 here are the low water marks for 90F days at Detroit (I do not have access to 1874-1886 temps so I didnt include those years in the rankings). Twice Detroit has gone a year without a 90F.

 

Top 20 LEAST 90F+ days in a year at Detroit, MI

0 days - 1907 (max 87F)

0 days - 1915 (max 89F)

1 day -- 1979

1 day -- 2000

2 days - 1992

3 days - 1889

3 days - 1902

3 days - 1904

3 days - 1905

3 days - 1909

3 days - 1982

3 days - 1985

3 days - 1989

3 days - 2004

4 days - 1896

4 days - 1912

4 days - 1958

4 days - 1975

4 days - 2003

4 days - 2009

 

Note: the 21st century is really making its mark in the top 20 most AND least 90F+ days list. Just 13 years into the century, and 4 years already made the LEAST list (2000, 2003, 2004, 2009) and 3 made the MOST list (2002, 2011, 2012).

True...but 90F is the benchmark for heat just like 6" is the benchmark for a snowstorm, and a lot of people look more at the extremes than the averages.

 

Side note, based on projected temps the next 2 days, DTW looks to finish June exactly normal, with the avg high being -1F and the avg low being +1F.

With the impressive heat building to the east it is just a matter of time ... As for the 90 ++ drought as of late I'm not surprised for everything has been late to develop this year. By the end of it I'm with Spartyon with over on all counts. We haven't broken 90 to date but on the humidex level it has been very sticky out there.

I am quite surprised by how many places are above the pace, I honestly thought all of them would be below pace. Also those that are below pace are not really that far behind their average. Should be interesting to see how the rest of the summer plays out.

5 above pace right now, with 1 keeping pace. The other 17 are running behind. But it was May and June. July of course is the peak for the highest number of 90+ days, so those that are "over heavy" need hope for hot times. First week of the month won't be adding much to the totals, but we'll see where it goes after...

Yeah usually the last 3 weeks of July and the first 2 weeks of August would be the wheelhouse for 90 degree temperatures.

Its uncomfortable, absolutely. I hate it as a matter of fact. But the bottom line is it has not hit 90F and thats the threshold everyone looks at when looking at summer temps. Gotta love how anything under 6" of snow is stat padding in winter yet summer temps in the 80s is heat :lmao:

It will be interesting to see when DTW finally gets a 90F. We are in rare territory as it is, and theres really no 90F in sight. Then again....the last 2 years make it easy to forget that average for an entire year is only 12 days of 90F+

July is the big month for sure. Actually...June and August are about dead even, with a negligible edge going to June.

 

Per NOWdata...the avg at DTW for 90F+ days

May- 0.4

Jun- 3.1

Jul- 4.9

Aug- 2.9

Sep- 0.8

Year- 12.1
