powderfreak Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Awful awful thought. Remember that one Oct like 6-7 yrs ago when it was in the 80's most of the month? Leaves were green into Nov . That was a nightmare No such thing occurred. That month in 2007 had plenty of 80 degree readings at BDL. That was what we were saying,Not everyday There were 5 in October 2007, or 4 more than normal despite turning in a +7.6 for the month. I don't know how 16% of days qualifies as plenty or most days. 5 out of 31 days in a cool weather month is a ton lol. Nearly 1/4 of the days reached 80 plus when normals are in the 50's to low 60's. That is downright eye popping Blizz loves these semantics arguments. Snowman was right, no such thing ever occurred in reference to the "remember when it was in the 80s most of the month."

snowman21 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 5 out of 31 days in a cool weather month is a ton lol. Nearly 1/4 of the days reached 80 plus when normals are in the 50's to low 60's. That is downright eye popping 16% is not nearly 1/4. It's a shade under 1/6 (in other words closer to 1/7 than 1/4), so there's no reason to round up other than to exaggerate which I know you would never do. The October average high is 63.1. Most of the month is in the mid to upper-60s, and only the last handful of days of the month have a normal high in the upper-50s. Your characterization of October normals "in the 50s to low 60s" is wrong unless you are just ignoring the first 17 days of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so hot that we saw +7. Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 No October has ever been "in the 80's most of the month." October 1963 had the most 80+ days at BDL with 8. Furthermore there have only been 3 Septembers (with 16 days) where you could say it was in the 80s most of the month. Oct 1963 was notable for having 80s into the month's final week as well as earlier, so the perception of "80s all month" isn't too far fetched despite 3/4 of the days having less warm maximums. That month was also incredibly dry (0.14" in NYC), and in NNJ a forest fire burned all month, with fire following the roots underground and occasionally blazing up behind the firefighters.

CoastalWx Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 October 2007 was definitely a warm month. But the hammer completely dropped heading into December. It was a "Dumbfounding December" for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Can the big island handle this much rain in such a short period? 06z HWRF is spitting out 12"+ for 3/4 of the island. Would think it will be orographically enhanced as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Oct 1963 was notable for having 80s into the month's final week as well as earlier, so the perception of "80s all month" isn't too far fetched despite 3/4 of the days having less warm maximums. That month was also incredibly dry (0.14" in NYC), and in NNJ a forest fire burned all month, with fire following the roots underground and occasionally blazing up behind the firefighters. Like I said, 5 days in Oct. '07. That's not "most of the month" by any definition. We get several mornings in the 20s in April, so is it OK for me to claim that most of the month was in the 20s because we had several sub-30 mornings scattered between mornings of 30s and 40s throughout a transition month? It's one thing to be ignorant of the facts or to be too lazy to do a minute of research to educate oneself, but to continue down the twisting semantic path rather than admit the error diminishes the scientific value of these discussion threads in my opinion - summer or not. Meteorology is still a science, so if one is going to throw out numbers, they should be prepared to defend their assertions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
