That’s an interesting perspective.   Lots of weather.  Some good discussions.  And a lot of :weenie: 

It's insane. Been thinking about it a lot. I am a man of many hobbies, and this one stuck through it all. 

I credit the people on this sub-forum and those who come before I did. A lot of bad posts, misunderstandings, moodiness- but this place is a diamond in the rough when it comes to people of character. 

It's been a true pleasure, and I look forward to welcoming the next generation alongside everyone else. I'm a sentimental person lol.

12th time on record that OKC has reached 110, and the first since 2012.

So I’m not sure which day in the last few this happened, but a passerby I encountered on the trail said it was a couple days back. A strong microburst occurred and knocked down a ton of trees on a leg of the Connecticut Greenway here in Willi. 
 

I forgot to take photos until I was almost back from the walk and so there’s much worse tree damage you don’t see. But it was pretty impressive and for all intents and purposes, this microburst trashed my favorite area.
 

I did get something delicious there though.

Yup. Awful in OKC. But I spent enough summers there to tell you that it isn't unheard of. Now if it goes above 110, you're really cooking. Not sure what the all time max is but I think its around 115-117 in OKC, maybe 120 for the state. We complain in NE with a two week stretch near 90 (plus or minus a degree or two) but imagine a ten day stretch above 100 (or maybe 14 days in a month that is closing in on 20 day at 100+). Happened a few years back. The normal high is officially 93 in OKC, so you're pretty much looking at a spell like this that drags on for nearly three months with a few breaks down into the mid to high 80's if you're lucky. And in central OK you also have the humidity to contend with. Further west its drier, but hotter and the wind is just dessicating. Oklahoma is not the UK. They're used to it. Doesn't make it any more pleasant.

"The UK wasn't the only place with extreme/record breaking heat today. Every single Oklahoma Mesonet weather station surpassed 102F today, with Oklahoma City peaking at 110F. This is not "normal summer" weather - it's one of Oklahoma's hottest days on record.

Our area seems like its among the slowest.

In spring to early summer maybe. But fall and winter seems among the fastest. Averaging it, over course of a year we are among the fastest.

What’s really interesting is we are at the tail of a cold water current, from the Arctic, whereas the UK is at the tail of a warm water tropical current. The UK has been seeing significantly warmer summers (++AN) but cold winters (N to AN); we have been seeing significantly warmer fall and winters (++AN) with warm summers (N to AN). The causality (net increase) is quite similar, but the seasonality is flipped.

There may be a cogent physical explanation for this…
