I'm a little surprised temps are still rising at a respectable clip. But that mid-June sun angle can do wonders... I’m on the far east side atm. Just got the real thick cloud debris coming in the past hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high yesterday at DTW was 95F, with closeby stations maxing at 94F at YIP at 92F at ARB. The high of 91F on 6/16/24 ended a streak of 679 days where the temp did not get hotter than 90F. This was the 11th longest on record and 5th longest in the last 100 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 They really need to switch to wet bulb globe temperature, or some other measure of heat. Weird look when you have one of the hottest June days on record, and not even an advisory. LOT used to be much more diligent about getting the warnings out for the urban heat island.that’s what happens when dew points mix out and heat indices are only marginally elevated.nothing that has occurred so far has been worthy of a heat headline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's headline news Yeah it’s uncomfortably warm outside but the hype about the “heat” this week was something else. I suppose if we would have had full sun the last couple of days then it would have been a bigger deal but even then the 850 temps around 20C are warm but nothing that doesn’t happen on occasion here in the Summer. The Gaylord office didn’t even issue any headlines and the eastern part of their area had highs in the 90s yesterday and today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKK's highest temp and HI happened to be yesterday, at 95/98. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 91 today here and at DVN, MLI with 92. Even with low 70s dews it's not too bad with the 30mph wind gusts out there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 Yeah the wind has definitely kept things on the not too terrible side. Honestly yeah this heatwave turned to be kind of a nothing burger around here. Warm days and nights, but nothing out of the ordinary, and definitely not what was modeled earlier this weekend. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Toledo had 99 yesterday (broke a record), 93 today. It was 100 and 96 intra-hour high temps at Toledo's KTDZ. This airport seemingly has been running just a bit higher than TOL for a while. And it's always possible this isn't an equipment bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clouds did in places to the north and west. We got to 86 and stayed there most of the day except for a half hour where the skies cleared and we shot up to 90.

nwohweather Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 On 6/17/2024 at 3:45 PM, TheClimateChanger said: Northwest Ohio and adjacent areas of Indiana always do well with the heat. I think it's the low elevation - almost like a depression extending from Maumee Bay out to Fort Wayne - and the sandy soils. 5 minute observations show a couple of 99F readings, so likely reached at least 98F (factoring in rounding). These values are rounded in Celsius to the nearest whole degree before conversion, whereas the official readings are rounded from the nearest tenth of a degree in Celsius. Toledo Executive Airport (KTDZ) did reach triple digits. 100F at 2:50 PM. An observation of 100F on the 5-minute observations is a true observation of 100F since it means the rounded Celsius temperature was 38C, which consequently means it was at least 37.5C (99.5F = 100F). Toledo - Toledo Executive Airport (weather.gov) You are correct sir. This area was known as the Great Black Swamp in Ohio's early history and was eventually drained using ditches that emptied into the Maumee, Portage and Sandusky rivers. Fascinating history of Indian disputes, wars (War of 1812) and pioneers traversing a harsh terrain to create where we live today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Another cloud induced bust for me. I was really hoping to hit an all time high temp mark on the PWS. That 93.9 is looking safe so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 My low was 24C overnight so no dice on the legend of 25C like in July 2011. Yesterday I got at least to 34C maybe 35 as my ws had 39C at one point and it runs 4C too hot during mid-afternoon. Its been very cloudy so far today.
