BuffaloWeather Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Nice wood burner there. Fantastic evening with temps in the 70s and low humidity. Only negative are the mosquitoes, which have become quite terrible lately. Almost making me look forward to the first hard freeze lol. Took a few test shots outside of town with the new ultra-wide lens shortly before sunset. Can't wait to use it on storms. Do you pass these fields on the way home from work or drive out to them?

BuffaloWeather Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 This is a screencap from the video I took last night of that potent storm. My first CG strike caught on film. Possibly won't be my last, though. Awesome! So hard to snag lighting shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Damn Geos, must have been one hell of a lake front come through this afternoon, eh? Yep, that's why I said sitting next to a wood stove sounds really good about now! Lol More like 61° at that time. Your field sunset pictures are spectacular!

cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Do you pass these fields on the way home from work or drive out to them? Pass by a lot of fields to and from work, but this one was after I had got home. This was northwest of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few spots west of here are 31 degrees. One more cool night tonight before more typical summer weather for the holiday. Normals are 74/52 June average temp was: 68/46, which was -2.5 for the month.

mjwise Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I know someone else on the forum was tracking this, but the skycover this June in Detroit had to be some sort of all-time high for a met summer month. Even though the temp departure was only just negative (-0.6), it almost didn't feel like June because of the low amount of sunshine overall.

Hoosier Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 June temperature departures If we pull back to the national level, the torchiest conditions relative to average were in the PNW. Been crazy hot there lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 This cool pattern has really lasted more than two years (with only an occasional warmer than a average month and no torchy ones). The law of averages would seem to indicate it will break soon, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law of averages would seem to indicate it will break soon, but I'm not sure. After not having any real +/- ENSO signal for a couple years, we seem to be shuffling things with this developing Nino. If it can fade by early next year and transition to a Nina by summer, that may help the chances for real warmth for next summer but that is very speculative. If we do reach very strong Nino thresholds, it's going to take time to fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 A wet and moderately cool June for here. Didn't get nearly as much rain as areas a short distance away, but at 4.69" - still pretty wet. Highlight was definitely the storms on the 8th that rode out of the W/NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 While Detroits temperature departure of -0.6F is not startling, the cloudy skies holding up temps. The avg high temp was -1.6F while the avg low temp was +0.3F. While I do not have positive confirmation, seeing Chicago snagged the cloudiest June on record, I have no doubt that Detroit did as well. The average June skycover was 7.9. This is about normal for December (8.0), which is Detroits cloudiest month. I could find a few Junes with over 7 skycover, but none near 8. Does anyone know what major climate sites stopped recording sunshine data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 MLI had almost 11" of rain for June, which was 3rd wettest June. Last year was 2nd wettest June, and it only beat this year's June by 0.01" lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Ended up with 6.44" of rain IMBY this June. More than at DTW, but much less than at Monroe where over 11" fell. Very moist and cool month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Indiana did set the record for the wettest June on record with 9.03", beating the previous record rather easily (8.13" in 1958). The highest individual total I could find for the state was the CoCoRaHS observer in Rensselaer with 18.06" in June. In Illinois, the highest CoCoRaHS observer June total was 17.29" in Ashkum...in Missouri, 18.11" in Truxton...in Iowa, 15.45" in Saylorville...in Ohio, 17.27" in Celina...in Michigan, 11.93" in Adrian...in Kentucky, 13.98" in Owenton.

hawkeye_wx Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I forgot I was going to discuss just how wet June has been around here for the last decade. Someone had posted that the old June record rainfall total for Ft. Wayne was 8.55", until broken this year. I started keeping precip records in my yard nine years ago. If you take out the big drought year, 2012, the other eight Junes AVERAGE 8.66". June 2014 and June 2015, combined, totaled 24.74" in my yard. When the calendar turns to June, we always seem to instantly go into a stalled-front-over-Iowa pattern. I'm pretty much guaranteed to not be bored, which is nice.

Geos Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Damn. I second that! Wow, Hawkeye. June is the wettest month of the year here - at least in the last 15 years. 4.80" average over those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
