high today only 93, that's low for middle of June
I love elevation in summer. Slept on Mt Humphreys Peak, tallest point in Arizona, in a sleeping bag on August 9, 2021. Low got down to 41 degrees. Hiked the Grand Canyon down and up the next day and up was very painful, but it never got over the 70s at the Grand Canyon even in August... then there was a big thunderstorm from Flagstaff to south of Prescott and then the temp on my dash literally went from 67 to 115 (!) literally right as I crossed the "Maricopa County Line" sign down the I-17.

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.
The European elections in the past few days have been a good sign. I'm hoping the Reform Party in the UK does well.
It's still a degree higher than the historical average for June 10th and needed a cold front to come in to get us there.
historical average dating back to when?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.historical average dating back to when?

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.
In good news.
2.5 inches of rain at my extensive palatial compound.
ugh but now the grass i.e. weeds will grow...
I like having rain close to July 4th to minimize fireworks fire risk.
Can't say I'm excited about that much rain since we just finally started losing those crazy high dewpoints a few days ago, with them finally falling into the 60s in the daytime. Don't want dewpoints in the 70s back once we get our next heat dome.
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.
FILL the aquifer rain gods!
Make HEB Meat Cheap Again!!!
seriously, would be nice to see venison in grocery stores like they do in the upper north states.
baseline bum
It's the middle of June and I wasn't dying of heat today going to HEB this afternoon.
We're officially on pace to be cooler than last year.
No 100s in the next fortnight predicted baseline bum:

Cold & wet San Antonio Summer 2024 as I predicted after last year's record summer, coming to pass. We even have lots of rain in the forecast!

Me.
Maybe we'll get a snowstorm that pushes ERCOT to the limit for July 4th this year in Texas?
ROFL cold summer when yesterday was the first day since May 16th that had a below average high, and it only came in below the average high for June 12th by one lousy degree. Also we didn't get our first 100 degree day until June 16th last year but we have already had five this year, so don't go claiming victory yet.
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.ROFL cold summer when yesterday was the first day since May 16th that had a below average high, and it only came in below the average high for June 12th by one lousy degree.

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 , but if it doesn't that low pressure system is probably going to blow our way next Tuesday or so. So don't count your chickens on that stormy forecast nearly a week out yet.
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.)
Lots of rain and sub 90 temps in the forecast. I feel like this summer will more or less resemble Fiji than Texas.
Didn't you just say you expected that area of low pressure to go into Mexico steered by a high pressure ridge smack dab over us? Goodbye rain and sub 100s in that case.
Eh, there's other factors at work that will keep this summer cooler than last, such as the cooling of the east Pacific
Can't really claim that from a weather forecast based just on that low pressure area in the southern gulf.
1 day later that forecast with 80s is mostly dead, with one day forecast 89 that will probably end up 94 or higher.
