That's LAX though. It's naturally biased downward because it's next to the coast.

I was talking about inner parts of LA like the San Fernando Valley, you know, where the people that aren't millionaires and billionaires live.

That wasn't LAX weather I posted, that was Westwood where I used to live (Wilshire & 405 area). San Fernando isn't LA. It's on the other side of a mountain range and has a different climate than LA proper. The traffic would kill me in San Fernando without the amazing LA weather, no thanks. Pretty cool if you're ever in the area though to go hike up to the ridgeline by the Griffith Observatory and see LA sprawled out on one side of the ridge and then the valley on the other.

Yeah I've driven that way. You can even see LA from Six Flags Magic Mountain which is further north than that. I've drove from Santa Monica to the Inland Empire and within a half hour's drive you go from summer paradise to the Sahara Desert.

right, which would be impressive because most of the spring was wet and near or even below average, compared to last year where the consistent triple digits started in May and we never had a wet or stormy season 2022. All depends on August and how many triple digit days we get next month.

Thorshavn, Faroe Islands is still a steady-eddie highs in the 50s, lows in the 40s just like every day every summer. Winter is highs in the 40s, lows in the 30s but rarely freezing.

That's a place that never gets heat waves and never gets arctic blasts for some odd reason. The location paired with the Gulf stream.

Also, no need to worry too much about deer, because there's very few trees there. Nor worrying too much about sunburn, because it's mostly overcast there.

Hopefully we'll get a Yellowstone or some super eruption in like Indonesia to reverse all of that and more.


I do believe a super eruption in the deep tropics would have a greater effect on negative climate change than in the upper latitudes like Yellowstone or Iceland. Because the equator which harbors the most sunshine would have the global ash belt for months and it being in the middle of a spherical planet means that the cooling would be great and fairly evenly dispersed amongst both hemispheres.

Meh you'd get cooling for a few years from the ash but the added carbon dioxide would win out in the end.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I think the ultimate solution is moving far enough north and coastal to the point where you never need AC year round which takes fossil fuels and you have cities to the point where you don't need to drive cars and burn fossil fuel

Also we can release elements into the atmosphere and also strategically grow tons of trees especially in the deep tropics to soak up more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Also we can cool the climate anthropogenically by planting hordes of trees in the Sahara and other deserts like in Arizona to get rid of the dust and turn the climate much more wet and green in those places.

America is hardly the worst offender. China is by far and on a per capita basis it's shitty turd world countries like Haiti that have done the worst damage. They literally made their island into quicksand by cutting down all of the trees there.

Crazy that we only had 1 (ONE!!!!) day, I believe, of 100+ degree heat in all of 2021. What an anomaly especially considering it was La Nina. Cold year overall when you factor in the crazy cold and snowy February we had.

[Millennial_Messiah]

2011 was very backloaded in terms of the heat, IIRC, while 2022 was very frontloaded, calendar-wise. I don't recall 2009 having that many 100+ degree days. The winter and spring in 2009 seemed cooler than average but no snow days.

2023 has been very steady-eddy with the heat. Didn't get insane in most of May but has been steadily hot with minimal rainfall through the peak core summer months and looks like this will continue into August. Not sure if we'll make a run at the all time record for most triple digit days or not. We'll see if El Nino tamps that down a bit as we get deeper into August looking towards September.

Late June was fucking ridiculous. New Braunfels had a 124 heat index like three days in a row and San Antonio set its highest heat index ever recorded three times in four days. Fucking gross seeing dewpoints of like 78 degrees at 4PM.

It's the heat indexes / anomalously high overnight lows, more so than the hot days, that are going to drive the climate refugees both north and upward in elevation.

I always seem to notice that the high elevation places get cooler overnight lows and much lower humidity

[Millennial_Messiah]

I can't sleep outside / in the car if the overnight low is more than around 60. Because you can always bet that the heat index given that AM hours are much more humid than PM hours is going to be in the upper 60s if the temp is 60 outside so anything above that and it becomes impossible for me to sleep.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Starting to wonder what is the best "climate refugee" state.

Apart from the obvious Alaska, which has little to no infrastructure. Colorado mountains? Maybe, especially for the low humidity, but it's SOOOOOOOOO expensive, and not everyone can handle the altitude. Similar case for a lot of the West.

West Virginia, despite being elevated and rural and fairly far north, actually still gets hot summers with hot nights. Not enough altitude and not close enough to water bodies, I guess. Also another cheap state to live in but poor infrastructure.

The Northwest and Northeast are both overrated for this purpose. The Northwest is super expensive and vulnerable to major earthquakes and tsunamis, and other geological disasters. Also, tons of rain, and not immune from heat waves. The Northeast is certainly not immune from heat waves and other wild weather, though they don't have geological problems. Also it's very humid in the Northeast with high summer overnight low temps. Even in Maine and Vermont.

Maybe in Michigan? The Upper Peninsula is just gorgeous and has both lakes and rolling mountains and a very mild/temperate warm season climate. It's also been losing population and is quite cheap to live. Not a ton of amenities and infrastructure is mediocre, but it imo definitely seems like it deserves consideration for like a prime climate refugee destination. I've been there 7 times.

Mine doesn't go back to being short on its own it just stays the way it is but gets weedy and crunchy. Still very heterogeneous (mix of the original Saint Augustine ugly shit that came with the house, bermuda that we've planted over the years, dollar weeds, crab grass, sticker weeds, and other various weeds, some of them those hideous prickly ones that can grow to be 3 foot tall if you don't get 'em down early) front lawn.

Yuck. And most of this was in Maine, the furthest north state. Been there 3 times each for weeks at a time. The lobster is to die for. If you ever go to Maine, check out Weathervane restaurant, it's the GOAT seafood, even better (and more affordable) than anything you can find on Fisherman's Wharf on the San Francisco bay pier.

I've been in the Northeast in the 80s in summer, years back, have extended family up there, it's *almost* as miserable as Texas because the humidity is ungodly up there when it gets hot and plus you have black flies which bite you every second and deer ticks that get all over your leg hair and clothes and carry Lyme disease. Yuck. And most of this was in Maine, the furthest north state. Been there 3 times each for weeks at a time. The lobster is to die for. If you ever go to Maine, check out Weathervane restaurant, it's the GOAT seafood, even better (and more affordable) than anything you can find on Fisherman's Wharf on the San Francisco bay pier.

The autumn in Vermont, New Hampshire, and parts of Maine is to die for, IMO. The sight of the fall colors is better than sex.

Places like Seattle and Crescent City, CA area offer nice summer climate. Santa Monica too if you can afford it

Santa Monica can be genuinely cool this time of year, like freeze your balls off when you jump in the Pacific cool. Low to mid 70s a lot of the time. Santa Anna season in September is when the area gets its hottest. Would be my last choice for LA area beach towns though because of the homeless population. It was really bad fifteen years ago back when people could somewhat afford housing; must really be a mess now.

Yup.

Even in early August. I was there two years ago, August 9th, 2021. Just a couple months or so after Newsom finally opened CA back up. Half of everyone were still wearing masks at the time there. I remember it quite well. Low 70s is perfect summer weather, especially with nice cool water available and the sun to warm you back up. And of course the perfect picturesque Pacific sunsets are unbeatable.

I heard Venice is worse for homeless beach towns because it's less expensive and the bums literally just sleep there all day and smoke pot and crack at night.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Hit 100 today though

Yeah,

Weather.com has the first 2 weeks of August all 102 degrees or hotter. Looks like the past week or so of reprieve was short lived. The tropical wave that didn't form as the NHC expected did do a number on the Saharan dust and the one behind it which is recurving with or without development will also serve to block further dust from impacing the CONUS.

[Millennial_Messiah]

El Nino definitely doing a number on the hurricane season. Bret and Cindy didn't achieve hurricane status in the MDR and the other two were weak/out to sea. Almost August and we're definitely not shaping up for a repeat of say, 2004 or 2017.

Even the NHC has been eating crow a lot lately with tropical waves forecasted to develop that haven't developed, like the west-tracker last week (95L) that died near the Lesser Antilles and even the one out there now (96L) that won't have any land impacts and now might not even develop at all.

Maybe now, but Santa Monica was way worse when I lived in the area 15 years ago. There's this one famous park at the top of the bluffs right in front of the pier that you see in all sorts of TV shows, movies, commercials, etc that looks amazing in them but in real life it was nothing but homeless people camped out.

There is a lot of price discrepancy microclimates within both the LA and SF metro areas, but especially LA these days. You go two blocks from posh and millionaires to ghettos, homeless bums, baked buildings and shootings. And you go five minutes inland from the beach in August and you're going from 75 with a nice cool westerly sea breeze to 105 degrees and a hot blow-dryer type of wind. From pleasant to the oven.

If you're going on the other side of rain shield like in Malibu yeah the hot side of the mountains are hot. The city itself is cool though. I lived five miles from Santa Monica and the difference in temperature was maybe like 2 degrees in the summer.

Yep and cruising like 95+ in the left lane / HOV lane (my car is a hybrid so it qualifies for the EV exception, I believe) chasing motorcycles who were going even faster -- with a Texas license plate on me so I figured I was safe from the copsies if there were any, mind you -- it felt like a half hour drive at most

Ugh fucking 104 today just as predicted. Wonder if we'll get a few days of high 90s in the middle of the month before going right back up to 100s as the models seem to show the high pressure ridge stuck over the area since early July weakening by the 16th or 17th.

Yup it will cool down one day in mid-late August with the high just weak and displaced enough to allow a supercell to create an F5 Tornado that strips the Alamo and Hemisfair towers down to the foundation then we will immediately proceed to go right back up to 104-105 degree days through mid September.

Even in the hell of last summer we only had three, which was the most ever in a year until this year if I remember right from what KSAT was saying when we were having them repeatedly in June.

[pgardn]

105 at my house. Usually lower than the official SA temp but not today.

Rode my bike anyway because someone has to. Right?
It was not overwhelming as the wind was legit and the humidity 25%. Took the shady route on the trail system.
Good work out. I guess. You have to move fast enough to feel the evaporative cooling though. My first pee was really yellow but thats solved now.
The good news. Over the 16 mile trek there were 5 other bikers I crossed paths with. I am not alone.

And one lady walking quickly with a frggn heavy sweat shirt on. Im not getting why people think because they sweat while walking they are getting something done when its blazing hot. I would not last in that clothing. You gotta have wicking wear and you got to drench yourself in water at every stop that has water. Which was unfortunately only 1. SA? Can you fix the water? Or just tell us not to go on the trail system because you turned the water off. I would understand. Promise.

The trail stewards are nowhere to be seen. Which I understand as well. They are older folk for the most part.

The nights are still humid as hell with dewpoints in the mid 70s and that does a lot to seal the heat in near ground level.

Tbh I don't think we have had very low humidity at any time this month. Dewpoints are usually only dipping to around 60F at the hottest part of the day and then shoot up to the mid 70s as it cools down.

Honestly I rate how much water is dissolved in the air by riding and then comparing that to the humidity the devices in and around my home measure. After completely soaking my best wicking shirt and riding for just 3 miles, I was dry and needed to get soaked again. But this also depends on the wind speed. Yesterday this happened against the wind (which obviously changes as the trail winds and changes direction a bit riding mostly SW). My devices outside measured humidity at 25%. That corresponded fairly well with the fact I was able to even ride as far as I did and stay cool enough. So windspeed + how fast my bike is going against or with the wind relate well to my drying mileage. Wind moving over a surface is hugely important for me being able to ride my bike in these conditions as well as shade I ride under.

It’s really the only reason I thought maybe this is why we actually broke under 80 in the morning. Very unscientific. But it works for me getting exercise. No way am I going to run in this shit, biking is the only way to stay cool. And the mornings don’t work for me as the water from my wicking shirt does not evaporate much, I’m soaked, and all the heat is most likely not removed nearly as well as evaporative cooling. And if my devices had been read in the mid 30 to 40% humidity I would not have made it. I check them with the city numbers and they are usually pretty close. My attic gets unusually dry as read by % humidity for instance. But you will die up there as no air is moving, or very little is moving in the dark.

So my observations really are just a result of me just needing to pick correct times to ride during the evening because that’s all I can do on weekdays. And sometimes weekends. I need to know if I’m actually going to cool. So knowing that I can cool if I have water to dump on myself and high temps provided my crude way of using % humidity works for me. But of course may not apply well to other meteorological readings.

Anyways. 101.5F with 28% now by my house numbers. So I will get another ride in, but on a route I can use workable water stops. Hopefully we got some wind like yesterday. Way too many variables in my workout attempts to use for anything but me. Hope it’s clear tonight though.

That's still a 62 degree dewpoint which definitely isn't a low level of humidity. If you like to go hike in the mountains and you breathe that refreshing mountain air it's because the dewpoints are in the 20s to 40s and you're not breathing in so much water vapor. My favorite hiking area in Yosemite for instance has a dewpoint of 29F right now. Here's a guide

Yeah the morning you're talking dewpoints in the low to high 70s and you're not getting much evaporation because the air is already so filled with water vapor. Shit really sucked in June when dewpoints were still in the high 70s at 5PM with the temp over 100, but two months of heat waves have killed off so much of the vegetation now that it has no moisture to give to the air any more.

[pgardn]

Thanks. Good point about the vegetation transpiring.

Windspeed is also a critical factor for me. (Along with moving much more quickly through the air when biking)
My dead grandfather (I have one still alive) once told me they put cloth soaked with water in the open window in Carrizo Springs Texas for air conditioning.
He said when they had wind blow through those windows it was absolutely wonderful. But he did like the invention air conditioning especially central air conditioning. I should have told him to build a house that moves during still nights.

Iwas reading some ideas about using the earth for heating and cooling under the house or below the ground somewhere deep enough. Gotta dig a bit but the different ideas for using metal with a large surface area in contact with a cooler or hotter subsurface depending on what season it is. And the use of different insulated pipes with liquids that carry that particular subsurface temp to your house during extremes. Because we are apparently in for big fluctuations in the air. Hot and cold. Expensive now but an interesting idea already in use in some places.

And the riding today did not yield as much cooling as yesterday based on my own experience. Wind was decent.

Yes, that's always been one of my biggest complaints about females, aside from them being shallow and high-maintenance.
Females want it both ways.
They want preferential treatment but also equality.
Unfortunately, that's a double standard.
Females wear about 30% the clothes that men do to work. Much more bare skin, and less layers.
If they complain about the cold, they can go to the car and grab a coat or show up the next day dressed in man's attire.

In western LA yeah, but Hawaii is not only in the 80s every day but the heat indexes soar well into the 90s due to the very high humidity due to the tropical archipelago location surrounded by warm water and being surrounded by the tropical upper tropospheric trough.

The water off the coast of Cali is cold and pleasant, well not to swim in except for on those 90 degree days. But it really moderates the temps unlike warm water. And due to the colder water and elevation between the coast and land in addition to the dry effect of the eastern desert, you don't get nearly the humidity in Cali that you do in other area where water is near.

You're not looking at heat indices? I'm not seeing anyone else predicting anything over 106. On a side note with today's high we have 2.5x more days of 105+ in 2023 than recorded in any other year.

It's not an outside chance. The forecast I posted above going through August 22nd gets us to 57 and 59 is the record with plenty of peak summer time to pick up two more.

Back to chasing the record for most 100+ days in a row, at 13 as of August 11th with 104+ forecast for the next 7 days. Probably shouldn't have any trouble getting the record this time at 21.

I don’t know that every summer from now on is going to be like this, but the trend is obvious. In the 2030’s there will be at least one summer worse than this one. The models have long predicted that the Hill Country would burn in the 2030’s, and that seems like a fait accompli now.

I was hoping like that last year after we had our hottest summer ever recorded then. That we'd have to wait for 2030 to see a successor. Now I have abandoned that kind of hope since there probably will never be a normal with global warming going at the rate it is.

that's not true. There was a below normal temp year as recently as 2021. I don't believe we hit 100 a single day, and if we did it was just one day in September. There's a debate on to whether that specific day in September was 99 or 100, but still, it was a well below normal year.

There will come a summer where, not even due to El Nino or La Nina but some fluke weather pattern, where the high pressure ridge is displaced far to the east or west or north and the steering flow will favor a big drought-busting tropical cyclone to park over Texas for a month and for Texas to get tons of sea breeze rain all month. 2016 was another year like that. Most of August was in the 80s iirc, and not just the rainy days.

2021 is the outlier. 2020 had the sixth highest number of 100+ days ever recorded here. 2022 has the second most. 2023 will probably be first. Also August 2016 had 9 days below 90, not most of the month.

The impressive thing about 2023 is that, outside of like 2 days, [one of them July 7th as that day I specifically picked to spend at Sea World (didn't even get a sunburn or need sunscreen that day as it was overcast but not rainy and mid 80's)] this summer has been extremely consistent and persistent since the very beginning of June. And it's not like we had such an anomalously hot May like we had last year or even in 2011.

2016 was simply a year I remember as being a fairly modest summer, especially in the dog days from mid-July to early-September.

2013 was the year I suffered the most in the heat because I had to walk all over campus and off campus to haul books in Denton and it was consistently around 107 degrees and humid there in August and the first couple weeks of September. But Denton had a very cool fall in 2013, it even snowed and canceled school for a week late in the fall.

Where is the universe of retards were you going with this derailed train of thought that you put together in one fucked up sentence?

First, you bring up The Weather Chanel as your source; then you call their forecast bullshit; you report that they forecast the 100+ days record will stop at 22; then you top it off with something about a random rain day ending the 100+ day streak!!!!

I did not know babies could survive being dropped on head so many times and live, much less string two words together?

Would be really nice to not see any more 100s after the 20th or 21st, but seems like it's just wishcasting. 24th through 28th are forecast to be 100+ again after two days in the high 90s so I wouldn't bet money on us not hitting that record of 59 days. And even in our cold summer of 2021 we still got a day of 100 on September 20th.

Alrighty I believe that I believe I remember being in my extended stay hotel apt in Grand Rapids MI when my mom called me about that.

The city/county wants to charge property tax based on an appraised value of around $280K for a 2300 sqft house built in the 1980s.

Yeah, Orlando and Florida in general is generally a humid and tropical mess in summer, but less so in strong El Nino type of years. Because of the prevailing westerly winds which also serve double as to causing wind shear that tears apart any potential tropical storm or hurricane threat. Makes the monsoonal storms from the southwest less frequent and the overall air less humid. But it's still humid because it's Florida.

1998, 2002, 2007, 2010, and 2016 are all "analog" years for 2024, based on the current timing and pattern of this year's El Nino, PDO and other interrelated thermohaline systems.
