forkyfork Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 My early guess is above normal, but not certain. You overall have to think warm summer with the AMO and PDO the way they are...although that is a very simplistic way of looking at it. The NAO also has a say too. I think this summer will be cooler than the previous two summers...but probably still end up on the + side. I don't mind that as long as we get some nice cool shots to relieve us from the heat. That's why our summers are the best while those poor souls in DC just fry. They can keep that. your climate is awful outside winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 JB says MJO heading into phase 2 and 3 means calls for warmth will bust and tropics will come to life... Well there is warmth and there is torch. Of course he leaves it in a way where he can't lose...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 your climate is awful outside winter I love having those cool shots. The heat gets old and many times goes all for nothing as far as getting good severe to break it. Spring you can argue, although the past three springs are making up for the awful ones during the 00s.

When I was a kid, I loved the hot weather. My neighbor had a pool so it was great. Then I worked outside for 9 summers and came to realize how horrible the heat is.

Ginx snewx Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Summers are best with warm days and cool nights, cooling sea breezes, lakes, oceans, pools. HHH is useless and makes people miserable and stay inside in AC. Looking forward to a perfect sunny cool weekend chillin and grillin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 august 02 was brutal... it's been a while since we had an august like that 2nd hottest August on record at BOS. We've had some warm Augusts recently, but they all seem to be that high dewpoint/warm minimums type airmasses versus the real scorching airmasses like we saw in 2002 or in more recent years during July. August 2006 had a hot airmass right at the beginning of the month the first 3 days, but then it broke and the month actually finished below normal up here.

Typhoon Tip Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 I wondered if this might happen, and we'll see if the next runs stay the trend, but the 00z operational Euro backed off on it's -2 to -3SD looking, 850mb temperatures, from D6 to 7. Even the chilly GGEM has backed off on that. It is/was getting too late in the season for that kind of anomaly, particularly when the source region of that air mass was a home grown southern Canadian confluence behind a slowly dampening trough. There's no longer a snow pack over those areas, and post May 15, they are getting pounded by insolation there. I got my tomatoes in yesterday, and beginning to feel less leery about putting peppers over Mem-day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The record is 9 days, though it wasn't at the Logan Airport site, so that's why I couldn't find it. Its interesting that 3 of the top 6 are in August even though August is about 1.5F cooler than July on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 wow, those are some pretty short stretches... ewr had 11 in a row last june/july Well I think EWR averages nearly twice as many 90F days per year as BOS if I'm remembering correctly. BOS averages 13 per year. EWR was around 25. I'd be interested to see what the record consecutive days at BDL is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was that weird day in early August, when the DPs suddenly left a 102/44 in FIT, while it was still 102/70 down along the South Coast? Anyway, a lot of sites posted their all-time high temperature records that day. I remember driving east down Rt 9 from Westborough through Framingham around 6pm and it was 104F pegged on my car thermometer. Did anyone in Massachusetts break the all-time record? Or for CT and RI for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
