BDL -.2 this month. We had 7 BN days to start the first 10 days. Anyone who thinks back broken means a quick switch to fall just doesn't get it. Great post. We are stepping down.

You had one day of 84/63 daily spread. You'll still get those one or two day blips in the fall but man there's no comparison between having more 90s than 70s. TAN didn't have a min under 60 for the second half of August and now have had 11 so far in September (low of 47F). Just compare the number of 70s/50s compared to 90s/60s.

Baroclinic Zone Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Broke back summer to me would mean an extended period of average to below average temps. A few days does not an extended period make in my world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few days does not an extended period make in my world. Why does it mean below normal? Broke back means it's not 90F every day anymore. You're daily averages so far this month are like 78/55 it looks like. Averages are tanking right now. +3 in August to +1 in September will still yield a fairly sizeable drop off in sensible weather. The TAN temperatures have averaged 5.6F colder for the maxes and 9.0F colder for the mins these last two weeks than they did in August. That seems like it would be noticeable?

weatherwiz Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 You can't compare temperatures in September with that of August...you can still have a summer-like pattern in September but because of the climatological decrease in temperatures, descending sun angle, and other factors, of course you won't see widespread upper 80's and 90's (especially the further north you go). We've been above-average in terms of temperatures for the month. Summer can't be and shouldn't be defined by temperatures either. The pattern we have been in...even this month is more typical of summer, but because we are nearing the equinox and going through the beginning transition phases (especially at higher latitudes) we are more prone to getting weaknesses within the pattern (which is what drives the fronts through and these brief cooler periods)...but at the end of the day after these brief fronts/troughs we end right back into a summer pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it wasn't 90F+ everyday. We had a period of torch for about 4 days towards end of August. The entire month was not like that but had above normal temps and dews overall. The month ended above solidly above normal, but not a torch. All I'm saying it's its right back to that solidly above normal regime over last several days and we are now above normal on the month, so not much of a change in my book.

It was 72/57, which is +8 here and pulled the month to 0.1° BN. Will be AN after today and might reach +2 a week from now. By then the average here will be 66/44 so it doesn't need to be summery to be siggy AN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt it has been much different than August IMO. I was running my A/C consistently and it hasn’t been on once in September and I haven’t been swimming once either… that’s what I think of when back broken. Just because we carry +1.5 in October or November doesn’t mean its still summer. I’m not sure when the cut-off happens but most months are above normal these days. We’ve stepped down a good 5-10F from August on average it seems at most stations. Maybe 10-15F lower than August will break the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few days does not an extended period make in my world. First 5 days this month were all BN and 7 of the first 8 and 9 of 12 going back thru 8/28. Then 5 of the most recent 7 were AN but that's becoming easier to do with the average dropping about 0.3° daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know you are trying to troll but I think most love the weather. 2) The temperatures you posted look like mid-summer up here, so definitely makes sense you are still in summer mode.

We’ve stepped down a good 5-10F from August on average it seems at most stations. Maybe 10-15F lower than August will break the back. I've had it on especially at night almost daily. It's been humid. I dunno....other than a few cool mornings, it hasn't really reminded me of Fall much. It's felt more like mid to late August. Temps and dews too have shown this as well, and by end of next week..departures go up significantly. I could easily go swimming at the beach. So to me, it's been more summer-like. But, that is different comparing departures in October. I'm not going there as 70s doesn't exactly scream beach wx....but I suppose it could be argued. I mean more as it stands today and especially by end of next week. After that, it's probably it for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August was 81/59 for +4.8 September so far 72/50 for +0.8. I just have definitely noticed that almost 10 degree drop in the means between August and September. I'm not thinking it's felt like pumpkins but I'm not comparing it to fall... I'm just comparing the two months and what the feel has been. That 10 degree drop in the means has been the difference in just Top 10 COC days every single day and summer weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The more I think about it, I do think it's that threshold for when A/C runs more consistently and not at all. I think that's back broken. If you guys are running your A/C's at night and being all locked up with artificial air, yeah that seems like summer. I think we crossed that threshold and that's what's flipped a switch for me. We now close up most night's because it's too chilly outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair, many nights it was needed. I just don't sleep well even with dews near 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
