Heat

[baseline bum]

Well, the forecast for uber cloudy (but not rainy) on April 8th out of all the days held up pretty well in the 14+ day from late March onward, tbh...

I would expect temps to trend upward, not downward... this is going to go down as the hottest and driest fall in SA history, 2024 is. Maybe for all of Texas. Looks like Dallas is getting much of the same and the high pressure is steering potential tropical storm formation east towards Florida.

I thought this October was feeling obscenely hot, looked at weather data for October year to year, and sure enough October 2024 is far and away the hottest October we have ever had here, with no year even remotely in the ballpark.

We had two days where you could comfortably open the windows and then all the humidity blew back in yesterday and it's here to stay until the beginning of November at least.

Just flew back into SA Saturday mid morning.

Time for me to bolt and go north and go political door knocking in WI/MI maybe PA if I have time.

We go from a couple days of September back to the middle of June. Ugh. And my house still hasn't received any rain since early Sept.

Hey, baseline bum, are you enjoying this fall? Consistent 90's in October and consistent 80's in November.

Texans definitely showed to the world last night that they love the heat and they want Texas, and the rest of the earth, to get even hotter!

So hurricanes coming for Texas in November is gonna be the new norm I guess

Fortunately category 3 hurricane Rafael is supposed to stall and die in the Gulf

Meanwhile category 10 Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz has Six More Years in the U.S. Senate, tbh.

[GAustex]

Rafael needs to turn north and rain like over the Hill Country west of Austin

looks like a hard south straight into Mexico, maybe just east of Veracruz in the isthmus:

Well crap

Hottest fall ever, by a landslide? Seriously, it's been miserable. baseline bum

Running ing AC in mid to late November is ridiculous. Even with a double dip cold front Wednesday doesn't look like we'll even hit historical average for the date. Our highs should be in the 60s by the end of next week by historical standards but it's like half 70s and half 80s forecast through December 1st. Can't imagine how ed summer 2025 will be, probably makes summer 2023 look like child's play.

Yeah it's disgusting, Fall 2024 is one for the record books like Summer 2023 and Spring 2022.

then again, you said that about summer 2024 and you were wrong, so maybe it'll be Winter 2025-26 that will be the record high one instead with like January and February consistently being in like the mid 80s every day with one or two gaps

[Millennial_Messiah]

It's miserable, lonely, disgusting.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Although I do seem to remember a La Nina year, may have been 2007, where we got to like 87 on Turkey Day. I don't exactly remember but it was something like that.

[Millennial_Messiah]

And then you had 2015 and 2021 which were absolutely disgustingly horrid, literally 80s on Christmas Day. 2022 we actually had a nice Christmas that felt like Christmas.

[Millennial_Messiah]

It just rained here but it's been a sticky, windy evening baseline bum all night so far tonight that feels much more like a summer breeze in the middle of June as opposed to a nice, crisp, fall autumn breeze like it should for this time of year. We should be getting "blue norther" season right now, not middle of May or June type sticky southwesterlies.

This entire winter is forecast to be way above average here.

We have a weak front blowing in this morning and another one Wednesday morning.... which will get our highs to still above historical average. On a ing back to back cold front

[baseline bum]

Used to be a double dip cold front in late November meant highs in the 50s, maybe even 40s

Yup. We called that a "Blue Norther".

[Millennial_Messiah]

At least Turkey Day went down from a forecast high of 81 down to 73 and pleasant with lows around 50, well that's still not super pleasant to me. My mom and I are moving to Fort Wayne Indiana next summer, this.

I totally remember the failed winter of 1999 when we were dying in sweats during football. Temps were in the 80s and 90s in January and February. We hit like 100 in late February.

I remember having to run the AC on XMas in 2002 and 2004.

If it wasn't for all the snow storms of the last 10-15 years, you could say, in truth, San Antonio doesn't have authentic winters.

1999-2000 yes, that smashed all kinds of winter records

not 2002 nor 2004, those were cold Christmases, I remember both vividly because the Spurs would go on to win the championship both years. You have those years mixed up. 2015 and 2021 for sure though, and probably a couple other years we had hot Christmases though.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Really the only MAJOR outlier was February 2021

all the rest this century were essentially dustings, including the Antonio McDyess Tip-In Game Night ice flurry.
