michsnowfreak Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 DTW hit 91 yesterday, first 90 since June 12. It's been a very weak summer for heat but still has been warm most of the time. The humidity is ridiculous. It gives a sweet smell in the morning (pine trees and flowers) but it gets old quick! The average number of 90 days in July is 5. Since 1871 there have been 14 julys with no 90s (most recently 2009, as well as 2008). The most was July 1955 when 17 days hit 90+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been more than very weak. It's definitely a crappy one, if you ask me. Hope we're better off next Summer. Given that TWC has now reduced the high for Saturday to the mid-80s, punting until at least August for DAY's next (2nd) 90 is a lock. Last year was a mild winter followed by a hot decent Summer. This year, we're paying for the double-dip mild winter with a cooler and active Summer. So many underperforming temperatures this "summer".

Spartman Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Currently at 74 under overcast skies from the decaying MCS. NWS did quite a job hyping up on the 90s this week for nothing to several areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only saving grace for the rest of this "Summer" is if any more 90s Dayton would see would be backloaded sometime in August and/or September. Currently at 77 and still under overcast skies, despite the deck from the MCS slowing decreasing and pushing east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Seems like we've had some extreme wet summer months somewhere in the region lately. Last year it was Kentucky in July. June 2015 was very wet over a larger area. Now this July, some areas will finish over 12" and not out of the question somebody ends up in the 15-20" range.

Yeah, they did touch 32C on the 5 minute obs, which would round up to 90 after converting to F. But it looks like it was a rounded up ob (maybe it was like 31.8C) which you always have to keep in mind with those. So the official high goes as 89.

Very wet out here this year. Not biblical proportion rains in a single month as you allude to, but well above average for the past three months. In fact, at 38.51", we hit 100% of our normal precipitation total for the year yesterday, with over 5 months to go.

Supposing if the wet pattern was to remain in place pretty much through at least the remainder of this year, anybody want to bet on several areas going for the top 5 wettest years ever by December?
