June 2024 Obs/Disco

[rimetree]

No problem getting some yard work done in this weather. Overcast, breezy and in the 60s. The heat will be back but it almost feels like we've had our highest temp of the year already.

History here says yes.  We reached our 20th 90+ in 27 summers last week and have not reached 90 in July/August/September since 2002. 
90s by month:  May 2; June 9; July 3; Aug 4; Sept 2.

N of about CON NH latitude by about another 20 or 30 miles on N it is hard to do it after spring. 

The reason for that counter intuitive assessment is because heat early typically is drier.  It arrives 'over the top' and then additionally ... the vectors are downsloping as well.    Once theta -e is densely injected into the air mass, the sun after the solstice at those latitudes is increasingly challenged to deliver enough energy to raise the temperature very high when the energy is being absorbed in water vapor.

Most high heat at high latitudes doesn't accompany 70+ DPs.

Absolute dumpster fire day.  Temps holding around 60F, some local sites dipping into the 50s with steady synoptic rainfall.  Cold season type system with steady warm frontal precip.

Would be a nice SWFE lol.

I couldn’t play in our club’s member/member this weekend because of my wife’s family reunion. I’m pretty happy I’m not out there chasing golf balls around. At least at the family reunion we had canopies to be under.

At least for now,  models look OK for next weekend.

Last week's 90 was something of an anomaly for June as the TD was 70 or a bit higher.
Caribou's all time hottest is 96, reached 4 times including this month.  Three have been in June and one came on May 22, 1977.

Keeping in mind ... climate's also shifting a little.  

But yeah, I just mean in general.  With those lower DP heat expulsions out of the SW that sometimes arrive on an early season ridge ballooning, it's going to be easier to 96 that ... Probably huge diurnals, too

62.9° Rain

It’s been a steady rain all afternoon. 0.25” and counting and only a high of 64°. Terrible for 6/29.

Think it’s up to +10. White flag time?

The step down was inevitable. Hopefully we get a few more warm days before the cold sets in.

Weren't you just bitching about needing rain?

For NNE, yeah. We usually get our hottest of season July/August, occasionally September (but with some hitting hi-90's already that's going to be tough to beat)

Yup. I’ll take it. Just wish it wasn’t so cold and raw and that it could happen not on the weekend.

High was only 61.8F for me.  About .30" so far.  Maybe tomorrow my first real thunderstorm of the year?

Should see a FROPA sometime end of the week but that may mean storm chances on the 4th or Friday depending on timing.

Ya' 4th is looking a little dicey for fireworks and evening gatherings.

Of course I have a tree question for you. While hunting oaks today I ran across a healthy American chestnut about 30 ft tall and 10 inches in diameter. Certainly an outlier for me. They usually die much smaller.  What do you find up in your neck of the woods?

It’s a weak front . There’s no dry air or cool . Once last Tuesday the rest of the holiday week is HHH

Beryl just became the first Hurricane of the year.. hoping its a active year and we get our turn

[MJOatleast7]

even Barrow Alaska or whatever they call it now reached 66 with a dew of 55  on the 26th that's nuts for them

Utqiagvik is the Inuit name they use now
