Heat

[baseline bum]

i was hoping for 2021 again i.e. reasonable somewhat below average spring/summer without being excessively stormy or hyper rainy

2021 was a way below average summer with three days of 100+, first not until September. Was also the year we had snow and no power for a week.

[baseline bum]

yes, 2022 vibes indeed

I better fucking get an amazing match (woman on Match) again on June 3rd-4th.

Fucking hell, the forecast has gotten so much uglier.

Thursday through Sunday look to be muggy as fuck with SE winds and mid 70s lows. Monday through Wednesday at least it's more a SW/S wind so not directly off the Gulf of Mexico.

I believe it was the coldest year wire-to-wire in my lifetime (since '94) for SAT, but somehow Christmas 2021 still managed to be like 80 degrees and steamy.

Back in Texas for a week, baseline bum, got stuff to do before moving back north hopefully for the summer, but, ya aren't kidding, it's miserable down here outside. Fortunately I'm inside with the AC on. 99 today, mid 90s (at least it's not last week) rest of the week, extremely sultry & steamy nights. Yech.

[Millennial_Messiah]

It's 101 degrees now. Yuck. AC is hummin' the banjos are strummin', I'm restraining not cummin' etc

101 at my house in Medina valley though. A little hotter & drier than the airport typically but more radiational cooling than the city in winter

[Millennial_Messiah]

Did feel more like Arizona this evening than here honestly. Dry heat for now

Ended up hitting 100 officially for the third day this year. If it was August and 100 with a dewpoint in the 40s I'd think ok this ain't too bad but fucking ridiculous in May.

I love how every summer I come from Tennessee from college where it's fabulous and beautiful (except for the tornados last night) just to come back to this hell-hole.

I was out today this morning from 9 to noon around my dentist appointment and with the breeze surprisingly it wasn't bad, like I was hot but I wasn't DYING if that makes sense, the humidity is under 40%, dewpoint in the 50s and felt kind of like a dry heat like yesterday evening around dusk.

[Millennial_Messiah]

When I get off the plane in TVC it will be ....40 degrees. I'll be in a t-shirt and shorts, carrying two backpacks. After midnight. No Lyft or uber available that late. Got to walk about 3 miles to get back to my car. It's okay. At least it's chilly.

Tennessee is nice but from what I remember visiting Chattanowhere was always wet, raining the majority of the time but when it was sunny it was amazing. Beautiful scenery regardless. I miss my time out there every summer.

Happy first day of June, baseline bum.

It's 43 degrees here in Plymouth, Michigan. I'm going hiking this morning.

Hate me.

On the bright side, in SAT baseline bum this week looks to be near-normal back home. The weekend on the other hand, back into the lower 100s.

It got to 90 and steamy here in Grand Rapids, MI yesterday. I was dying. But then it rained overnight and it's been in the 60s all day and forecast high here for the next 10 days are all 60s and low 70s with lows in the 50s to upper 40s

Still got almost half the month left and expecting all this rain to lead to some crazy high heat index days the first time we get a strong heat dome over us. Same way in 2023 after a normally rainy spring we had days in late June pushing heat index of nearly 120 at the airport and multiple days of 124 in New Braunfels for instance. Weather Channel seems to be projecting a normal summer for once for us though. Right on the border of slightly above and slightly below average temps. So hopefully that means lots of 97s in August instead of 103s.

that also points to a dangerous hurricane season imo, if all of Florida and the Gulf Coast is that much below normal that means it's much wetter and likely a lot of that is accounted for by tropical storm and hurricane activity. The subtropical jet typically lifts at some point in June so that's not a factor.

IMO that forecast is a very 2021-ish pattern. The worst of the above average heat and drought is concentrated in the west and northwest. San Antonio near average and above average rainfall/lower temps for the Southeast, less rain in the Northeast, about average temps/rain in the upper Midwest and above average US-landfalling hurricane season.

Maybe Seattle won't get to 100+ this time around, but, ya never know

[Millennial_Messiah]

I mean shoot, Fairbanks Alaska is getting hit with 85+ degree heat these next seven days (and not even cool overnight lows, albeit though there's only about two hours of night this time of year there).... Phoenix is in the 110s, typical for middle to late June, and here in Michigan we're expecting 90s late this weekend into next week for a few days, I might leave for a few days

Nah 2021 would be like 87-92 in July, no way we're getting that.

[Millennial_Messiah]

2021 had 12 precip days in July without even an organized tropical storm or hurricane landfall which was rare. 2007 was the coldest July ever but pretty much a one trick pony with Tropical Storm Erin stalling over us for over a week, flooding high schools and turning low lying areas into lakes.

https://world-weather.info/forecast/usa/san_antonio/july-2024/

Actually Last July was not too terrible either. The average high last July was only 90 compared to 88 in 2021 and even lower in 2007.

[GAustex]

July 4 and the temp ain’t even getting into the 80s

[Robz4000]

We're also having historic flooding just NW of town tbh.

I'm into camping but not in summer during insect season with hot sultry temps. Crisp fall and early spring type camping stuff up north absolutely. Or down south in the winter.

Right now the only places to go camping are the Redwoods CA (Eureka/Crescent City), the interior high rockies if you're into elevation and mountains, or Nunavut.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Yikes

Also my mom has said KENS 5 has said CPS has already recorded the most summer time power outages since 2007, not ironically the rainiest summer on record

It's weird because it started blazing hot in early May. I was glad to get my new AC's installed right before we had that 103 day. Then June has been really cool. Ten day forecast from here looks great with low to mid 90s and then Friday 98 not so great but a hell of a lot better than the 102-104 we had seemingly every July day in 2022 and 2023. Still expect it to get really ugly when the first long lasting heat dome gets here since there is so much water in the ground to be evaporated like when we were having Kolkata level dewpoints in late June 2023 after a decently wet spring. This current weather pattern has been great for San Antonio (I know not so great for Kerrville sadly).

Last time I was in Yosemite it was 100 degrees at 4000 feet on the valley floor from a really ugly heat wave that came in but when I got up to the Tuolumne Meadows backpackers camp at 8500 feet it felt amazing and morning temps were high 20s. Though early July is a little early for high country Yosemite IMO. No snow melting nor dangerous crossings by now unless it's coming off a pretty heavy snow year but absolute mosquito hell. I like August and September best for hiking in the mountains.

yeah, 2022 (like 2011) was mainly a dry heat due to a dry, hot spring, 2023 was just...yeah, Kolkata, one step below Dubai.

But in 2021, we never really got that long lasting heat dome until mid September, so it's not a certainly that it will even happen. Potentially the tropical weather in the east Pacific and Gulf of Mexico can keep the heat domes weak and displaced to the west.

love that, morning temps high 20s/low 30s but warm and sunny highs, your windshield might be cloudy and frosty in the morning but by 8:30am it's good to go.

I can't sleep outside if it's 60+ at night tbh. Inside I can tolerate up to 68 because indoors is less humidity.

[Millennial_Messiah]

It's very very humid this time of year and will only get worse between now and early September. Drove through a shit ton of fog in Ohio and Michigan last night. And the deer don't seem to mind the fog. They hate rain of any kind but don't seem to be bothered by fog. The moon being fairly bright did help on the drive.

also I was in Central City Colorado at 9,610' elevation and it was like 62 degrees on Thursday the 24th a few days ago when it was almost 100 degrees here in SA (got back around 8pm last night) and I got over 16 miles of walking/hiking in. Feel free to punch me in the face.

Looks like we'll be flirting right around that 100 degree mark for a while. That high pressure ridge must be NW of us now to be giving us daytime dewpoints in the high 40s bringing in desert air at high altitudes with its clockwise flow.

Hit 100 today, but with a low dewpoint in the 40s so not too bad.

San Antonio was reasonably nice for July when I was there two separate weeks this year. Definitely nothing like 2022 or 2023 which were basically Riyadh

[Millennial_Messiah]

Glad I chose to take a break and go north for a week and get out of this November dutch-oven. Back now and it's horrible. Feels NOTHING like November. More like middle of June (as it should be). Ugh. ugh. ugh.

Was a lovely crisp 26 in Plymouth Michigan and 37 in Chicago this past weekend. Loved it.
baseline bum why are we getting May weather in mid-late November?

[Millennial_Messiah]

50s in Michigan last few days. Lovely weekend. Last weekend I was in SA and it was actually lovely as well. But we'll probably have a hot/dry May, we'll see.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Back into the 90s tomorrow. April was unusually cold and felt more 2021 than 2022. Actually, April 2022 was cooler than normal, but May 2022 was insanely hot and dry, especially the latter two thirds of it.

Two days 'til the 4 year anniversary of this thread... this year feels so much like 4 years ago, different president same problems, record inflation and gas prices, maybe this year it's worse because the job market is worse this year.
