How does this summer stack up

With only 5 days left in Met summer here are the current rankings for some selected cities. Obviously these rankings will change a little when the next five days roll in but the theme of the summer has been cooler than most but pretty much normal in a historical look

 

BDR 24th hottest    2014    72.3


BDL 33rd    2014    71.4


Boston 44th    2014    71.0


PVD 40th    2014    70.8


CON 45th    2014    67.2


BVT 16th    2014    69.5

JFK 27th    2014    73.7

Fixed, I should have realized that , if anyone asks me for the data I will refer them to you, and what the hell does Kevs video have to do with anything. God Kanye is the worst.

I'm pretty sure he was saying if any poster response with a full quote of your post they are an idiot lol. You know someone would've done it...it had nothing to do with the length of your original post.

Anyway, BTV with 16th warmest on record!? Is that going all the way back to the 1882 climate start time or like 16th out of the last 30 years? Fairly impressive if it's 16th out of like 130 years.

I did issue my first tornado warning. So it wasn't all bad.

 

First one for my particular location (meaning, where I was living at the time), too, though as usual there was not a hint of svr closer than a couple miles from the house.  Nice irony, too, as my wife was on the phone with our daughter in DEC, and this time WE had the tor warning.

 

I'd put this summer in the top 1/4, as I'm not a fan of sustained heat, nor of hauling water to the garden.  Regular TD drops into the 40s, no extended high-dew periods, enough heat and sun to keep the veggies growing, my kind of wx.

 

The data in the OP would offer a lot more info if the years of record were included for all the stations.  Context enhances content.  (Though thanks is due for digging out what was posted.)

It was not bad temp wise, but we lacked in thunderstorms, especially compared to last year. I was hoping for a little more action in that department.

 

We also got spoiled last summer with the thunderstorms and daily flash flooding.  That was record wet and stormy.

 

Like this is one of J.Spin's observations in Waterbury for a period last summer when 11" of rain fell in 13 days... that was daily thunderstorms, especially in the mountains where the airmass t-storms would fire up every single afternoon.

 

 

It was just t-storm after t-storm last summer.  My favorite was the mid-July straight-line wind damage when Stowe/Morrisville lost power for 3 days due to severe blow down. Can still see the tree damage from that.

In general though if you want thunderstorms, you're going to have to deal with at least some heat and humidity!

yea you can't have your cake and eat it too. Growing up in a marine environment in SRI our best Tstorms were warm frontal types directly rolling in off the ocean, we had the humidity but lacked the heat for the traditional CF severe

lol yeah, that's why last summer felt ridiculously humid...but at least we had a lot of action with it.

 

Very true and yes you need the juice to produce. I was just hoping for one or two solid chances at lightning shots like I got last September right as the season ended.

We've had plenty of chances for tstms with fropa, but most either missed or didn't happen. You don't always have to have 95/74 stuff. See 2008.

 

Lol I didn't say you needed 95/74 (although for the real big time stuff it definitely helps) but 72/50 isn't going to cut it.

 

It's difficult for me to even remember how many days we actually had a real unstable air mass.
