Record for most days over 100 degrees per year in San Antonio

[SnakeBoy]

The cicadas seem louder this year than in the recent previous years, imo. I've seen plenty of those annoying s s outside

There are a lot of cicadas this year

And your 's 14 inches?

I got a batch of black sex link pullets one time and I don't know how it happened but I ended up with a big black , like 24-26 inches. I thought he could earn his keep by protecting the females but he started abusing them, then he tried to attack me. So I got my .22 and went back out and stomped the ground at him just to see if he would do it again. Sure enough, with only the slightest provocation he reacted with violence and charged at me, so I shot him in self defense. That was my first and last , they are a real PITA.

The third worst thing about the heat is my wife order a $60 box of Leonidas Belgian Chocolates which just arrived. She got the mixed box and they are indeed mixed.

Think that streak of ten straight 104+ days might be broken, as it's only 103 right now at 4:48PM

Looking it up online is weird, because it depends severely on where you measure it. My local weather station has been 104+ for 12-13 days, but ABIA is way cooler some days. Many online high/low temperature stats for Austin default to ABIA readings, but some don't. I could swear I heard Camp Mabry temperatures being announced on the radio not too long ago; Bill Hecke kinda grew on me, I didn't like him as much when he was a TV weatherman.

At 20 years, two days, three hours and 16 minutes, Hecke traveled the world forecasting the weather from the tropics of Panama to Fort Hood.

In fact, he retired as Chief of Weather Station Operations for “The Great Place."



"That’s the biggest military installation in the free world so you don’t get any bigger than that," Hecke said.

Then, Hecke started a new career: First doing the weather on radio stations across the region, then as a weekend meteorologist here at Channel 6.



"I was horrible," Hecke said. "I was scared to death. I’ve never been so scared, even in any situation in Vietnam, as when I first went on our Channel 6. I think was 1981"

All these years later, he's still doing weather on the radio and hosting a gospel show every Sunday morning.



He's extremely active: He's an avid marksman, a gun enthusiast and a third degree black belt.



"By doing that, they think I got rid of a lot of what I held inside and what I think. So basically, it’s therapeutic," Hecke said.



His other form of therapy?


Laughter.



In fact, his sense of humor is what many people think of first when they think of Hecke.


"Don’t criticize my forecast. I told you I hold a third-degree black belt,” he joked.

I hate those ers, it's like they have to remind me it's 100 degrees. They weren't chirping early in the month when we had those two cloudy days with below average temperatures. Plus they piss on you if you sit under a tree.

[Winehole23]

I don't recall talking about the rate of change, just about how hot it has been lately.

Snakes trying to say the heat island effect is why the metropolises of Cotulla and Del Rio are getting hammered by hotter summers.

This is akin to picking out a single date in 1925 for comparison. Soda straw view.

Thermal feedback loops will not be mocked.

Sights and sounds of summer, for me.

I was in DC in the late 1980s visiting a college sweetie when the 17 year cicadas came out. Everyone around me was really excited and curious. Me, a native San Antonian, felt challenged to match their curiosity, enthusiasm and wonderment; I was jaded. Cicadas were normal to my everyday experience. Or at least my every summer experience.

Ouch you guys are really getting boned. Tweet from yesterday:

And that weather station recorded a high of 106 today so make that 11 straight days of 105+ for Austin.

I was the summer ward of my great aunt in North Texas for the heat wave of 1978. Many days around 110. We were ordinarily taken for ice cream, then miniature golf around sundown; during the daytime we were prisoners of the great indoors.

Watched a lotta soap operas and sports on TV in the summer of 1978. I had tried to become a Rangers fan a couple of years before that, that just didn't work out for me in the short run.

putting you down for "no climate change", is that cool?

None of KSAT, KENS, or even WOAI-TV acknowledge those numbers and they seem fishy as when they say we had 42 100 degree days in 1907 while the National Weather Service shows no such thing and says we hit a record for most 100 degree days in a year back in 1998 when we had 36.

So I'll stick with the numbers every one of the local stations uses and which don't contradict the records of the National Weather Service. And today we'll hit the third longest streak of 100 degree days ever recorded in San Antonio.

Karrin was the specific poster here who for years would always argue there was no global warming by posting right wing op-eds that conveniently always started their trend lines in the used to be extremely hot year of 1998 so the trendline would either slope slightly downward or be horizontal.

If they use SA Airport data, it only goes back to 1947.


Older data was from San Antonio Nursery.

And now he is scouring for any data set that will allow him to do the same. It's the same dynamic with supply side economics and immigration policy with the current GOP. Efficacy and truth are besides the point.

So what?

From the National Weather Service:

https://www.weather.gov/media/ewx/wx...x-18992000.pdf

Summer 1998 - One of the hottest summers on record is seen across the region. Most 100 degree days of record in a year for Del Rio (69) and San Antonio (36). Temperatures would moderate quickly with the arrival of rains in September.


Never said anything about most 100 degree days in a year for San Antonio International Airport.

[DarrinS]

And now he is scouring for any data set that will allow him to do the same.

Like the official dataset for San Antonio, prior to 1947?
