And I got absolutely soaked yesterday in my own bodily perspiration on a bike.
I took in so much water and still could not keep up.
When you stop riding to get a quick drink you just get drowned in perspiration. I froze all my water bottles and they thawed like it was a 104 degree day. Yesterday evening.
If we are going to have this kind of humidity might I be so bold as to ask for some wind please.

I spent today in and around Detroit, it was 54 degrees today with occasional drizzle. Low 40s tonight. Not sure where exactly I'm going to be spending the weekend but last few days have been in the 60s in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area where I am currently. :p:

My momma crashed her car 2 weeks ago and I basically told her to fuckoff and went to Michigan. She's texting me complaining how it's so damn hot and humid outside. I told her then why did you fucking raise me in shitass Texas instead of New Jersey or Philly where you were when you got pregnant with me in '93?

Looks less stormy than last year or 2020/2021, but not as hot and dry for the second half of May compared to 2022.

in 2022, for reference, the second half of May was pretty much every day in the 100s or worse except for maybe like 2 days.

Nah 2022 had 5 days of 100+ in May. 18 in June though. Surprisingly tame August and September in 22, which they were horrible in 2023.

Late June last year was the worst I had ever seen out here. One day it was like 101 with a dewpoint in the 80s in the middle of the day. San Antonio set its official high for heat index ever recorded three times in a span of four days around then at 117, and New Braunfels was 124 heat index. All they said in 2022 was it was hot because there was no rain and then we got a really wet spring in 2023 which just made it insanely humid while we still crushed our 2022 count for days of 100+, where 2022 was the second highest ever recorded (by one day vs the top year 2009) until 2023.

Crescent City, California (it's up by the Redwoods) has the most beautiful and comfortable year-round weather/climate in the USA. You really don't need HVAC and that's saying something because I get miserable anytime the day temps are over 72 and nights over 60. It also never gets close to freezing in winter, so it's one of the very select few places, maybe the only one (try to find another one) where you really don't need HVAC at all in the entire USA.

However, it's one of the worst places to be if there's an earthquake anywhere on the volatile Pacific Rim, because of its highly tsunami-prone location.

90 in May anywhere is awful, even if it's a dry heat. LA is generally too hot for me but there are microclimates like the LAX region that are nicer but ultra expensive.

May is literally the heart of tornado and straight line wind season. Typically straight line wind damage is more common in the north and east, but the Jarrell F5 tornado from 1997 that moved south-southwest and then just stalled over the trailer park in Jarrell.... that wasn't an anomaly either? That was one of the few weather events I remember as a kid seeing on TV as it was so close to home and the local news had it on forever, plus that ensuing hurricane season was a dead year because of the strongest El Nino on record in 1997.

Theoretically increasing CO2 and global warming would promote the growth of more trees and foliage, and shift the hardiness zones north so where more plant life can survive in more climates. So the trees eat the CO2 and they grow and grow and provide more shade from the hot sun, lowering temperatures on land. The cycle is so powerful it even has natural checks and balances against the evils of humanity.

The only way humans can REALLY fuck shit up is to ramp up the deforestation, but over the years I've seen more foliage than I ever have. Even in my own front yard and neighborhood. Way more tree branches and leaves than ever before.

One of the main reasons housing prices in the USA have held steady the last couple years as opposed to falling like a rock despite the high interest rates is because of the low supply, i.e. low amount of new building. I bet that's because of the green building limits and regulations against deforestation for new lumber as well as deforestation for new housing developments.

You could always build housing out in the deserts, but summers are scorching hot and in some places winters also quite cold, and supplying water to those areas is going to be a challenge. Also, any CO2 emitted is going directly into the atmosphere rather than much of it being absorbed into the local and regional foliage, which makes a place like Phoenix or Las Vegas much more toxic to the global environment than a place like Detroit or Chicago that's surrounded by trees.

Then on a smaller scale you see amusement parks and major truck stop companies replacing paper towels with air dryers, and having those new eco-soap and water hand washing dispensers that I just hate because I'm not someone that abuses resources but others will and kids especially just don't know what to do.

The USA is definitely making progress, even if the consumer is negatively impacted.

Yeah I remember 2022 being consistent hell for the May/June part of summer wherever we were in the USA, and just kinda like this year there was no storm/rainy season for SA or even most of Texas that May, everything veered well to the north and east. Vividly remember it being like 97 in Austin on May 3rd with 105+ heat index and my mom almost passing out with a heat stroke on our walk to The Who Concert at The Moody Center that day.

I recall vividly that 2020 and 2021 had very stormy late springs here in SA, especially around this time of the month, and even last year April/May had some storms before giving way to the hottest post-May summer ever.

Theoretically plants have adapted to fairly stable levels of CO2. This is the grand old more is better argument quite common in stupid trumpsters. So why don’t you go breathing 100% O2 for a couple of days and get back to this.

I never said 2022 had a rainy spring, I said 2020 and 2021 did. 2020 was especially stormy with tons of outages, and 2021 was especially wet. 2022 was about like 2011... bone dry, high pressure displaced over our heads. This spring started out wet but has trended much drier, which is par for the course for an El Nino transitioning to Neutral / La Nina. 2022 gas prices were insane but life in general was fun unlike last year... even though all the last few years have really sucked.

Volcanoes?

So tell us about the sun now? Turn it down? Glaciation and warming are 100,000 year intervals is more appropriate. So please explain the super rapid heating we are NOW sealing.

Do the Earth's volcanoes emit more CO2 than human activities? No.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas and is the primary gas blamed for climate change. While sulfur dioxide released in contemporary volcanic eruptions has occasionally caused detectable global cooling of the lower atmosphere, the carbon dioxide released in contemporary volcanic eruptions has never caused detectable global warming of the atmosphere. In 2010, human activities were responsible for a projected 35 billion metric tons (gigatons) of CO2 emissions. All studies to date of global volcanic carbon dioxide emissions indicate that present-day subaerial and submarine volcanoes release less than a percent of the carbon dioxide released currently by human activities. While it has been proposed that intense volcanic release of carbon dioxide in the deep geologic past did cause global warming, and possibly some mass extinctions, this is a topic of scientific debate at present.

Not bad yesterday evening in SA. Lower humidity and wind.
this morning humidity back up but temp lower Im guessing because no cloud cover.

Now to spoil it all, Ozone alert for today. If I want to keep exercising well into retirement or whatever I would rather not keep having to deal with this.
My lungs are very efficient right now and I am proud and lucky for that ability to let me go outside and workout. Trying to think long term lung health.

The air quality alert days are very sketchy as they just measure for particulates and if it is very humid they dont give accurate results.
The lower level ozone levels can be measured quite accurately, so I am more aware of this. Ozone (very reactive) is not good for your lungs, at all. And when you attempt to exercise hard in the presence of O3, not so good. Just gotta hope my immune system can help repair alveoli in this situation. Or, just dont exercise outside.

Too much fkn with our air. We should not have this much low level ozone. Its supposed to be 31 miles up where its useful in blocking UV.

At least the smoke particles from Mexico are dying down, and just in time for Saharan dust that seems to come in early July lol. A few times in the last couple of weeks we have had air on par with places like New Delhi and Beijing thanks to that smoke. But it's crazy how many ozone alert days we have now.

The good part is we get wind off the gulf. Not as much trapped air. But as you stated that air can bring some particulate matter as well. The lungs do have a mechanism to get rid of this. So create a lot of mucus and swallow, or spit, or hack it up. Then at some point it get so bad its like London in the late 1800s early 1900s. Unlivable.

The ozone reacts chemically with your lung cells so I am not to fond of this shit. The gassing up that occurs on weekends helps produce it, in hot weather sunshine especially. And then industrially. There is just a lot of shit associated with getting energy from hydrocarbons, but hydrocarbons do store very well (as long as you dont spill them everywhere)

The Uniparty is certainly a big problem and it's taken a hold of most of the biggest parties, not only in the USA but overseas too. The Tories have gotten to be just as "woke capitalist" as the Labour party in the UK, but at least the Labour party doesn't hide who they are and are more authentically fiscally liberal. Much of the US GOP is woke capitalist too. If the big corporations like Raytheon or Lockheed or Halliburton want gay pride, vax mandates, and gun bans, they'll be all in favor of that because they're beholden to their big donors.

I consider myself fiscally slightly left of center and socially right of center, politically right-wing populist (anti immigration, anti foreign aid/war, anti DEI and LGBT+, pro nuclear family, pro homeschooling / private schooling but pro choice and pro public option healthcare etc) with some fiscal left views. But the Uniparty parties that dominate Western politics, are the opposite of that.

historical average dating back to when? :lol 1880s? That's basically when the industrial revolution (which caused global warming) started.

It's the lowest June 10th I recall in recent history. Maybe 2021 was cooler because that was a cooler year, i don't remember.

June 10th was 96 last year but June 8th was 91. 2020 was a pretty hot year and June 10th was 93. 2019 it was 88. 2017 it was 90. 2016 it was 90. 2015 it was 91. 93 is not a cool temperature for June 10th. Also I see it has crept to 94 now.

I guess I'm just used to 100s every day from some time in May through middle of September.

2020 seemed like more of a wet year than a hot year but I digress. Power went off like every night for an hour for a week in late May 2020 due to a constant smattering of severe storms here, similar to what happened last night.

2021 was definitely a wet year which was odd because the 2020-21 winter was NOT El Nino.

The deer that are all over the San Antonio greenways needed food badly. Lots of new growth will help.
I wish they would cull out those poor animals. I hate to see them starve. They are way over populated.
And I definitely dont like all the dust that gets up as the drought continues.
I also like water in the Edwards Aquifer. It looks like it got a significant amount. The next week should see it rise. Maybe I can spray water freely at my dog again some day. He loves playing in the water.

Right, but last year trended upward and drier by this point, while this year seems to be trending towards being one of the rainiest and stormiest summers at least the first half of it. I don't recall a summer being this stormy. It's like April and May weather deep into June. Typically by July and August, barring a tropical landfalling system, the prevailing pattern is very high pressure aloft with only a very tiny isolated chance at non-severe sea breeze type of showers.

That area being watched off the coast of Mexico got upgraded to a 40% chance of organization from 20% the last couple of days. We don't want it to organize if we want rain from that system. If it organizes could just go into Mexico and not give us shit, but if it doesn't that low pressure system is probably going to blow our way next Tuesday or so.

Yeah, based on time of year this "pre Alberto" seems like tropical storm Bret of 2005. Going to slam into Veracruz area following under the ridge due west as a marginal to moderate TS and give us nothing and basically push the hot high pressure in our face.

SST anomalies are between +3 and +5 F in the Gulf of Mexico, even higher out east in the main development region of the Atlantic. So I would expect development. Subtropical jet and TUTT are wind shear blockers generally this time of year, but it's not uncommon for a hole in the shear to allow a tropical storm to develop. (No hurricanes.)

We're still going at quite a bit faster pace than average over the last 30 years which is 21 days for the year and we're at 11 right now in early July and the only things that have stopped our 100 degree days are Alberto and now looking like maybe Beryl.

Possibly, but it could also be a wall of 80s and 90s like 2016 or 2021, even without hurricane strikes. 2022 wasn't even terrible in August/September.

There's also the possibility that Beryl morphs into a subtropical mesoscale jet stream and parks over South/Central Texas like what happened around this time of year in 2022 and gives us a month of straight rain days.

2022 was wall to wall 100s in July, it beat out August 2011 for the hottest month ever recorded in San Antonio at the time. 80s and 90s seem pretty unlikely considering we jumped right back to 99-102 a week after Alberto.

I do find it amazing that having a temperature below average for the date only 5 days out of 17 this month is considered cold though. And getting 2.38 inches of rain in June is wet when the historical average is 2.5 inches in June? 0.43 inches in July 1-16 is wet when the historical average is 1.6 inches of rain in July?

It's cold compared to last year, especially if 2022 and 2023 are the "new norm" then this year and 2021 are cold by comparison.

Also, the long term averages factor in outlier years like 2002 where in June and July there was literally a monsoon trough parked over Bexar County.

You're using the Weather.com forecast right? That shit is always super bullish on rain. NWS has us 86-90 Monday through Thursday which will be really nice but they don't do a 14 day. KENS 14 day has up back up around 95 by the 29th which would still be really nice but I wouldn't put too much stock in a 14 day other than when we have nasty long lived heat domes over us, in which cases the 14 days have been a lot more accurate.

If you mean 2011 that was the gold standard for trash summers here before 2022 and 2023. Yeah my first day of school at UCLA it was 85 and people were complaining like they were melting and thought I was being sarcastic when I asked if a cold front had just come in. Had no idea LA had such amazing weather and did no research on the city itself, I just wanted in UCLA's math department. Came to find out 85 genuinely was pretty hot for the area as summer days were mostly like 73-76 in Westwood. Though I bet a lot of the complainers were commuters from the San Fernando Valley where 105-110 is pretty normal during Santa Anna season (which the first day of school was in since UCLA starts really late in the year in late September).

Hoping this cool forecast shuts down momentum for a hot August the same way Harvey ended our summer in 2017 (though that was already a really tame summer before Harvey). I imagine there will still be some days of 100 in August but would be awesome if we finished with less than 20 days of 100+ this year. We're at 12 right now, with 21 the average taken over the previous 30 years.

Yeah you're not kidding about home prices. My roommate's friend is the brother of a very famous multiplatinum musician and even he didn't have the money to buy his mom a home in LA proper but instead up in the valley (used to go hang at his mom's house a lot back then since they had a nice pool). And this was before they really shot up in price in the last decade. Though maybe that's an indictment of the music industry too.

It's not a conspiracy theory, Enron was shown to be shutting down power generation to artificially constrain supply the same way is done in Texas. Then they could price-gouge California and damage their leaders politically, and they did both with their artificial rolling blackouts.

September and October is when the Santa Anna winds blow in from the desert in the LA area so it's the major fire season and far and away the hottest part of the year. Even though I think I saw a thunderstorm maybe twice in the ten years or so I lived there it's pretty normal to have 50-60 mph winds and shit when the Santa Annas start blowing in.

I love it out there though but the cost to live there is insane. My buddy spends way too much to live in a 3 bedroom house with 2 roommates that rotate every 6mo-1yr. His roommate situation is a revolving door unfortunately and he continuously fills those rooms up with people he doesn't know whatsoever. I hate roommates to begin with but just inviting strangers in to room with is quite dangerous imo.

When In N Out moved here in 2013 it was like $2.99 plus tax. Whataburger meanwhile was always stupid expensive, like $8 even in 2013 though back then they used to have bogo's and other decent coupons in the mail, not anymore.

Roommates are horrible and you legally can't even enforce the rent, you just have to get lucky and find people who will pay out of the goodness of their heart which is a 50/50 proposition at best.

Not true, I've been there twice for significant periods of time and I'm very much aware that California is where most of America's biggest national burger chains were founded and started. The $20 minimum wage is ridiculous and it's forcing a lot of closures, unfortunately. Customers don't want to pay almost the same amount for fast food as for restaurant food, which hasn't gone up with inflation nearly as much.

Meat isn't illegal in Australia yet, but they've had a bullshit "carbon tax" for a couple decades or so now.

Not to mention that they literally locked down the country for 2 years over the plandemic.

Meh that's propaganda that minimum wage hikes are why fast food is expensive. Companies like McDonalds are great about manufacturing consent for price increases by whining about wages yet they have been over $20 an hour for years in Denmark without being any more expensive than US menu prices when they paid $7.25 an hour here. I hate the boomer idea that people should be there to wait on me when I want a burger but fuck them they don't deserve any kind of remotely comfortable life because they're losers who didn't l3aRn 2 c0De (while also fuck all those losers who went into debt to go to school to l3aRn 2 c0De). Every fast food place seems to have slashed their workforce anyways, every single one I ever go into looks understaffed. McDonalds for example is painfully slow in the drive-thru and when you go inside no one works the register when pre-pandemic there were always two registers manned any time other than after 11PM.

Yup, and McPrices are twice as high or more than they were before 2020 when real people worked the till registers instead of ordering on those stupid kiosks.

Overfishing, coral reefs etc. They'll find an excuse.

With poultry they'll say bird flu pandemic is just too dangerous of a risk as well as salmonella and other potential boogeyman avian diseases big government wants to "save" you from.

There's already laws for overfishing that have been in place almost 50 years. I think your slippery slope ends at beef

Yeah Chick Fil A is definitely an exception, that place is always full staffed. Though they're like Panda Express to me: a single meal on the menu I like. When I go to Panda it's orange chicken and chow mein, everything else on the menu is trash. When I go to Chick Fil A it's a spicy chicken sandwich and waffle fries, everything else I have tried on their menu is overpriced and mid. Though Popeyes is my go-to for chicken sandwiches, especially since I can get red beans and rice on the side. Plus you get a receipt for a free 2-piece if you buy a drink next time you go. And I like Popeyes don't give a shit and don't pretend to be your servant with all that my pleasure bullshit.

When Newsom's statewide ban on beef goes into effect I wonder how much the In N Out veggie burger will cost... hopefully less, considering most veggies are grown there in the Central Valley.

Meanwhile Burger King's impossible whopper is the same amount

You got a link for the ban?

Glorius rain.
I think we might see a good rise in the aquifer

here is a site to follow one of the most important wells.
Actually some key springs actually tell the best story.
When some of these springs begin to flow we know we are in good shape.
Its not gonna happen with just this.

Can we again reach 670' on well J12. Twoud be nice.

Like I HAVE said before, Climate Change leads to extremes.
And the extremes lead to a huge cost.
Throw that in with power deregulation in Texas and you get the shit we have had.
Houston not getting power back in forever. Natural Gas freeze ups at important stations.
May was hotter than ever. July brings us cloud and rains. We are not clever enough to deal with an acceleration in Delta because we got people like Abbott pretending and then loading the coffers for a possible presidential bid.

Abbott for a presidential bid? Won't happen. Same reason why you won't see someone like Sam Brown or Tammy Duckworth ever run seriously. Same reason why someone like Glenn Youngkin gets an unusually high amount of Democrat women votes. Optics are a real thing.
