Ah, not so simple.

 

On point, heat kills, with as much frequency.  Not everyone can "deal with the heat," either 

 

In fact, hurricanes are easier evaded.  One's coming, evacuate. Problem solved.  One cannot as readily escape the scope of a continental heat dome, particularly if they are of  poorer class and/or can't avail of protective structures in general. 

 

Heat is an event in the atmosphere, period.   It should be recognized and quantified.    Btw, I think cold waves should as well.

MWN....they've got a current wind chill of 15F.

Apparently they have a new museum up there.  It was constructed off site in Massachusetts and then moved on-site.  Pretty interesting!  I wonder if anyone here was involved with that?

I actually think that's pretty good for atmospheric events...  Given the intrinsic chaotic nature of atmospheric dynamics/emergent process, it's harder to get a .3 correlation (I think) than it is compared to mere dice rolls.

 

But ur a better gambler than me ;)  ha

 

 

Agreed...it is definitely a decent correlation...even the NAO correlation for places like the Mid-Atlantic in winter is only around 0.5...so ENSO giving us a >0.3 correlation for summer temps is pretty useful. Of course, we have summers that buck the trend...2002 comes to mind. Perhaps this one will be another, but its too soon to tell yet...though if we're trying to buck the trend, its a good start...June looks like it may come in around +1-ish at many sites in our region.

I know heat kills. Worst American wx disasters have been heat related. Every city (today, not in the past) sets up cooling stations in big heat events. If you are unwilling to avail yourself of these, I don't know what to say. Mostly elderly perish in these, and poor, but what else can be done?

Well one can also say the same thing about stubborn coastal yokes, too, when the more urgently you warn them about the impending disaster ... the more iron-hulled and undeterred they become -- then of course the rest of us get the envious pleasure of fishing out their bloated corpses as they bob in the flotsam choked surge waters.   

 

Same thing.  If they are not going to head warning and take cover/evacuate when advised to do so, they goose storm-statistic casualties.   Point is, heat and cold wave ( and mind you, it's just my opionion) should be included;   called the big six:  blizzards, 'canes, 'nadoes, flood, heat and cold.

Folks I would take that heat signal showing up on the latter operational runs as more than mere flitting chaos in the latter operational runs...

 

With the PNA officially into its 'useful as teets on a bull' time of year, and the best summer correlated teleconnector, the NAO, flipping phase, the natural tendency is to establish more subtropical ridging and an expansion of the heat girdle around our side of the hemisphere. 

 

Can't say which model is righter or wronger in this vision, but Euro was pretty mammoth in its circumvallate of +20C 850mb air.

Looks like another night that will wind up in the 40s here.  Just an awesome stretch of weather!

 

The thought of 90s in July is shocking (sarcasm)...I don't understand what the big deal is.  It'll probably wind up just being a period or warmth but we'll find out soon enough.  Within 30-40 days most places will reach their climatological peak so getting weather 10-15 degrees above normal only balances out the 10-15 degree below normal that we've had.

Somehow I think we will get a pretty typical early July heat swarm

 

Making it to July 1st w/o a heat wave makes anything that comes after tolerable.  I'm not a high heat lover but it's tolerable in July and August because you expect it. 

Hell, even as a die hard cold weather guy I appreciate a blast furnace now and then.  Feels good if you don't have to work hard in it.

Chilly day up at home...what a cool shot. Temps struggling in the upper 50s to low 60s east of he Green Mtn Spine and back across NNH.

Champlain Valley warmest in the mid/upper 60s.

Man--that's impressive.  And I thought my 70.2 was cool......

Meh.

 

I have this knack of remembering bad movies.  I remember this one that was probably on ABC's (?) "Friday Night at the Movies" in 1974.  Just horrible.  They have the entire thing on youtube.  Tells you how in demand it is.   lol

Got down to 47.9 at 2:40a.m.  Already up to 57.4/49
