Today was another hot day in the Mid-Atlantic region. High temperatures included:

Baltimore: 100°
New York City: 92°
Newark: 93°
Philadelphia: 97°
Raleigh: 102° (tied record set in 1999 and tied in 2022)
Richmond: 99°
Washington, DC: 98°

The very warm and humid weather will prevail inro at least early next week with temperatures generally running several degrees above normal.

In parts of California, Nevada, and Arizona, a severe long-duration and dangerous heatwave continues. As of 3 pm PDT, Redding, CA had reached 118°, which tied its all-time record.

Severe heat appears unlikely in the East during at least the first half of July.

The latest summer guidance continues to suggest a warmer to much warmer than normal summer lies ahead.  

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.6°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.4°C for the week centered around June 26. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.18°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely evolve into a La Niña event during the late summer or early fall.

The SOI was +1.78 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.704 today.

What a rotten setup considering that we're headed to Provincetown and staying in a beachfront room for the week. Can't say I'm surprised :huh:

Looks like a great summer week and dry, perfect week for the beach with Miami vibes

The human body, when healthy, is a lot more resilient than people realize. With that said I drank a lot of water and wasn’t running fast. I had water fountains to fill at down at the park I run at. Intensity was low too. I averaged about 11 mins a mile so relatively slow going. I also picked my route so most of it was in shade.

1987 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather in twenty-one states east of the Rockies, with severe weather reported in Kentucky and Indiana for the second day in a row. A thunderstorm produced more than five inches of rain in one hour near Reynolds, IL. Rochester, NY, was soaked with 3.25 inches, a record 24 hour total for the month of July. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Thirty-six cities in the north central and northeastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Afternoon highs of 98 degrees at International Falls, MN, and 101 degrees at Flint, MI, equalled all-time records.
