Baum Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 23 hours ago, Chicago Storm said: The last part is really grasping, that typhoon is recent and had no effect on June or the first half of July. The first part goes to show an evolution from Nino-Nina during summer versus heading into summer can have different outcomes. Also, add in that SST's are running warmer than long range guidance has showed by this point. The last part should be kept in mind heading into Winter, as a significant La Nina no longer is in the cards at this point. should I start the winter thread? It's going to be cooking.

We've only gone over 86F 7 times this year which assuming we cant get to 13 means the least amount in a decade. But instead of a cold summer its because so many days ended up at 83-85F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it was very humid Plenty of high heat in that region this summer. Today was the 14th day above 86F/30C at Buffalo (the 13 indicated below is missing today's high of 88F). Only 7 years since 1873 had more through August 1. I guess it's just somehow missed Pearson International Airport. The mean temperature of 72.2F at Buffalo is 4th highest on record for the first two months of meteorological summer since records began in 1873. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto Pearson International Airport Weather History Yep, it was a very humid summer and Toronto got absolutely burned this year by just missing 86F. Tons of 85.6F type days. lol the other day hit 29.9C or 85.8F. Id have to take a look but if you added .5F to those days you'd probably double Torontos 86F days from 9 to 18. One thing missing though (because of all the humidity?) is the 90F+ type days at Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny8 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Is there an easy way to look up historical dew point data? Monthly and daily data? or is that something you have to back into with temp and humidity data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IEM [Iowa Environmental Mesonet] is the easiest for monthly data, but it generally goes back no further than the 1930s or 1940s [or the earliest date on which a newer station opened]. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of this data is wrong for the record-breaking winter of 1935-1936. While many of the lowest hourly dewpoints on record at Des Moines did occur during that winter (including the all-time low of -40F on January 29, 1936 & February 14, 1936), it was not lower than -60F with those huge daily swings shown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Thought I'd post this here. Stratospheric H2O content is finally starting to normalize after the Hunga Tonga eruption in Jan 2022. That was an awesome eruption event. "Shot heard around the world" type event. Scientists have never had an opportunity to research this type of eruption before, so it was something new for them to observe over the last couple years, and the potential effects it had on global climate. Massive seawater injection well into the stratosphere. The excess water first spread throughout the S Hemisphere in 2022, then made its way into the N Hemisphere in 2023. Very cool stuff. Drying trend should continue through the rest of the year, and that means back to normal soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to see some much hotter trends in the med-long range now, and there's actually support for it this time. Obviously much can change between now and then, but it's becoming clearer that we aren't entirely done with the heat, even if it ends up being subdued.

Considering how refreshingly cool it’s been as of late, the return to 90+ temps will certainly feel more miserable than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
