What a summer night, cool temps - bright moonlight now with the dissipating high altitude smoke... Spent the last 2 hours on the front porch after work with the cooler air , cheap whiskey , frogs and crickets singing along with classic George Strait music.... nice and peaceful *

Not remotely our region, but folks need to know what is going on in southern South America right now.  Temps pushing 40C in the middle of winter at mid-latitude locations, some with elevation (1500+m).  Hard to contemplate.

Yea, but a blue check on Twitter said that isn't true so maybe both sides are the blame?

It’s only a matter of time before we start seeing heat advisories in February

Even this cooler/drier pattern in the mid-Atlantic seems off. Mother Nature isn’t playing games anymore.

I hiked/biked the Watershed and Little Bennett the last couple days, and can confirm the creeks/streams are as low I’ve seen them. We need a legitimate storm system.

Yeah, I think this summer has been the haves vs have nots. Some people had their top 10-20 wettest Julys ever, others have been bone dry. I’m on the drier side with just 2.5” for July after 1” months in June and May. Very dry here.

I don't really expect anything substantial in the precip department on the downsloping side of the fence until we can get rid of this nw flow aloft.  Maybe having some low level moisture off the Atlantic the next couple days will improve chances (tbd), but the upper air pattern does look more favorable early next week (another tbd).

Set a new 'cool max' for the date with a 69.1 degree high. Continues the strange pattern/string of cool 8/4's (well, 8/3's, reports are at 7am next day) since 2014. The old record was 73.7 from 2020, then 74.6 from 2018 and 77.1 degrees on both 2016 and 2014. Oh, and the 0.53 rainfall was a nice steady drizzle/light rain that actually did some good!

They are as hot as Texas is, but it is mid WINTER in that region of the Southern  Hemisphere.
