Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 1 hour ago, IWXwx said: The % Sun number measures the percentage of time between sunrise and sunset that sunshine reaches the ground. Total Hours is the average number of sunny hours the city normally has in a year. Clear Days is the average number of days annually when cloud covers at most 30 percent of the sky during daylight hours. Hours of sunshine are the means calculated for 1961 to 1990. Indianapolis is the top row of hours and Seattle the bottom.

My chart might be hard to read, but Seattle does beat out Indy in July and also in August. Believe it or not, other than a near-tie in March, Indy wins every other month of the year.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I really shouldnt complain about the clouds and rain. I'm actually enjoying the cool, cloudy weather today. It beats 90 with high humidity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 One of the absolute worst starts to summer I can ever remember. Temps running right around -3.5 for the month, wouldn’t be bad if the damn rain would stop. This pattern has been relentless. Honestly though, I said this back in April, this spring/early summer has been very 2013 ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Thank goodness the 21st has passed. DST just flippin' sucks. Still daylight at 9:30 and twilight after 10? DST wasn't so bad down south but when I moved back here it blew my mind. Especially since IN was a holdout. I don't give a crap about the advantages they spout out. If I wanted to live in the land of the midnight sun I'd be there. Stop f%^&ing with my clock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daylight savings time and time changes don't bother me, but it's ridiculous when the sun rises at 8:00 AM in the dead of winter and sets after 9:00 PM in summer. I feel that if everything was shifted backwards an hour all would be better. I lived in Illinois for a while as well, and the sunrise/sunset times seemed to make a lot more sense there, with the only issue being how early the sun would set in the winter.

janetjanet998 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I wonder if the models will start to trend south with the heat dome for later in the week..it seems wagons south this year so far also that would mean any MCSs will be more South as they turn the ridge and move SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NegativeEPO Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I would take a 9:30 sunset over an 8:30 sunset in a heartbeat. Sucks big time being so far east in the central time zone. There’s nothing good about living here honestly. I seriously might consider moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Absolutely love being in the western part of the Eastern Time Zone, sun comes up around 6am and goes down around 9:15pm in summer and 8AM/5PM in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 As a kid I absolutely loved DST. Most of us had to head home "when the street lights came on". In the summer that was around 9pm. Have fond memories of coming home late in the evening on hot summer days, and watching baseball in the cool A/C after a nice shower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Was driving by a local outdoor fest earlier when the heavens opened up. I mean torrential, blinding rain. There were some tents off in the distance but there was a row of porta potties that was much closer to where some folks were. I was wondering if any of them was going to opt for a porta potty to take cover instead of making a lengthy run to a tent. Wasn't able to see what happened since I was just driving by. If I were one of them, I probably would've settled for a porta potty lol. Always have a plan B. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Miami FL hit 98 yesterday, which tied the all-time monthly high for June. And, this is only the 11th time on record that Miami has hit 98 or higher. All-time record high is 100 on 7/21/1942. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Got woken up in the middle of the night by my phone alerting to a flash flood warning. All for a measly 0.60” in my rain gauge. Just the eastern 1/4 of the county got anything of consequence, but LOT went trigger happy farther west. It was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Just saw some 90-degree stats for Chicago on NWS LOT's page. Not intending to be critical...but I think there are a couple of errors. First, where is 2012 in the list? It had 46 90+ days, I believe. Second, the existence of a "latest first" date implies that every year had at least one 90+ day...but I don't believe this is correct. Chicago Normal First Date 90 deg: June 8 Normal Last Date 90 deg: August 28 Earliest First: April 10, 1930 90 degrees Earliest Last: July 1, 1967 90 degrees Latest First: Sept 14, 1915 90 degrees Latest Last: Oct 6, 1963 94 degrees Average Number of Days with High Temperature of 90 Degrees or Higher May June July Aug Sept Annual 0.5 3.0 5.9 3.6 1.0 14 Greatest Number of Days with Maximum Temperature 90 Degrees or Higher in Any Year 1. 47 (1988) 6. 36 (1954) 2. 46 (1955, 1988) 7. 35 (1964, 1971) 3. 42 (1953, 1983) 8. 34 (1944) 4. 39 (1959) 9. 33 (1977, 1987) 5. 38 (1952) 10. 32 (1934) Greatest Number of Days with Max Temperature 90 Degrees or Higher By Month Apr May June Jul Aug Sept Oct 2 (1930) 10 (1977) 16 (1954) 19 (1955,1987) 18 (1947) 9 (1931) 2 (1971) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
