SFO hit 99 and OAK was over 100. Both of those must be records. Both also reporting dewpoints in the mid-40's so it's probably very enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck friend It’s hilarious how any time someone posts about a break from the heat (Dendy even said break from excessive heat), you make it sound like they are calling for a below normal pattern or cold crisp autumn air masses lol. When I said 70s/50s you made it sound like I was talking about frosts, ha. It can just be normal sometimes, as un-exciting as that is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year will be part of the 91-2020 normals as well. It’ll be fun when an 85/65 day becomes BN at BDL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Tolland, CT seems like a dangerous place to live. Excessive heat, overwhelming humidity, dangerous tropical storms, and extended power outages. I applaud the brave pioneers who attempt to tame that savage land. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much are the normals going to change when 91-20 becomes official? 1.5-2F for most 1st order stations? Or more towards 1F? Guess its going to vary a bit.

powderfreak Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Max of 82F with dews in the mid-50s was just about perfect today. Given dews getting down to 54F this afternoon, we should have some great sleeping weather tonight. Even been able to turn the fans off the past few days.

Driest and hottest summer on record sandwiched between 2 horrific snow winters at ORH. At least for me, I like HHH summers so the sting of belly to belly ratters offers a fun break in between .

Typhoon Tip Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 2 hours ago, HIPPYVALLEY said: My buddy in The Mission said San Francisco was over 90 today. Thats rare. Just coming in here to say that... not very "foggaust" -like there today. "The coldest winter I ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco" said Samuel Clemens once ...a saying that is well known to the locals around the Bay area. The climatology is that the local Hadley cell intensifies in late July through early September, and that draws a perpetual marine jet in that keeps the region quite chilly. Today, they were 100 to 104 at many sites around the Bay and down town, which is exceedingly rare for this time of year there. In fact, this ridge in west is extraordinary, with hypsometric heights exceeding 600 dm!! ...it's the shear exertion of this phenomenon ... so extreme it actually counters said jet and by shear thermal wind component forcing. Really amazing... What's interesting is the 00z GFS and the 12Z Euro try to progress this R-wave back east and pulls the heat out with it ...probably would be the last cycle of summer before the hemispheric fold turns the page if so... But it's unstable and new - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Finally more hours of 90+ at BDL than BTV, but it's still been more impressive relative to normal at BTV. I think MHT has had more hours of 90+ than BDL too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too often I'll say that (I hope), but I'm still fascinated by that. Given how some other summers this decade have been like pulling teeth to get 90F+ and all the heat maxes out at 85-89F.

Do we mean like we’re gonna get into an extended period where is below normal? I ... no. Not to be a dink but I‘m doubting that’s happening - we are hockey sticking the climate and people just have to get their heads around we are not turning back -imho ... Concomitantly with that it gets harder to see the machinery of the atmosphere of the planetary system producing an extended period of below normal blah blah blah beyond so long as humanity continues to pump industrial farts into the environment I mean sure we can get a day like that here and there because there’s no discounting anomalies. By the way ...look what happened in San Francisco today ... what an alarming heat wave. - that’s going to put some climo grad student on the map. Special climate report last year just put out precise statistically guided study that showed world over that extreme heat wave frequency is increasing and then this happens… And finally happens in the United States it’s been since what 2012? We’ve been hotter than normal this summer but as usual our hotter than than normal contribution to the global thing has been coming in last place - we’re like the Napolis in the 400 m sprint at the Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
