jewell2188 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 All that rain moving constantly east everyday this week. Pretty depressing actually! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgottwald Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 DCA has not dropped below 70 degrees since July 2; most of the overnight lows have exceeded 75, more like Miami than DC. We in the greater urban heat island deserve the couple of cool nights we'll get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 93-year period beginning in 1884 and ending in 1976 [inclusive], this value was exceeded on only 5 occasions in Savannah, Georgia. Those being the summers of 1934, 1939, 1942, 1943 and 1952. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 While still well above the median 18th & 19th century summer to date values for Orlando, Florida... a much more pedestrian ranking. This summer would tie for 37th warmest on record between 1892 & 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 At Miami, the mean of 81.9F would tie for 19th warmest of the 89 years of record in the interval from 1896 to 1986 [inclusive]. So, yeah, even Miami is not a good comparison. Temperatures for the summer to date in DC in 2024 would be well above the median 20th century value for Miami for the period ending July 24. Prior to the very end of the 20th century, heat similar to that experienced in DC would only be expected in Miami a little more than twice a decade.

I chuckled at LWX's P&C forecast of 1.25-1.75 inches for Monday/Monday night period plus more strong rain working thru Thursday, and laughed at the ridiculous qpf maps showing 2-3" for the week. As I knew would happen I only have a few hundredths of an inch for the whole week will finish July with well under an inch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgottwald Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Interesting that the early summer of 1931 in Tallahassee got its record warmth from the high temperatures exclusively; the lows were comparatively bearable. June 10 even had a high of 95 and a low of 58, something you'd expect to see in *Denver.* Pity you can't look up dewpoints. Edit: Tallahassee's population in 1930 was barely 10,000, so there was essentially no urban heat island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Perhaps more impressive, the current monthly mean temperature of 84.5F would tie for 16th warmest July in the ENTIRE period of record at Miami. Higher July mean temperatures were never observed prior to 1981, and only 4 times prior to 2005 [1981, 1983, 1992 (Pinatubo be damned) and 1998]. The highest pre-1980 mean was 84.0F, set in 1969.

Based on current trends, it appears likely that DCA will see some months reach mean temperature levels never observed outside of Death Valley prior to the 21st century by the end of this century. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many close misses to the south and east in this period (except for one storm two days ago) has me a little on edge (no pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those tropical remnants or first fall synoptic event are going to be necessary to start digging out of this hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year is too popcorn-y to reliably bust a rainfall deficit across the area. Agreed that we just need remnants or a coastal-type low to get a nice region-wide dousing.

EastCoast NPZ Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 .07" gulley-washer today. That puts me up to .15" this week. Hope the river and streams can handle all the runoff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
