Ok, so we have been talking about how hot it has been lately. What is THE hottest temperature that has hit your local town?
-
This year, March 7, 102F. Hasn't come close to that up to now.
-
94 degrees on May 31. Much of our area was in the upper 90s that day.
-
I'm not sure that "hottest" is an entirely accurate word for it, but 22C is the maximum temperature I have recorded so far this year, on June 6th.
-
93F for here so far...Havent checked today's climate report though.
-
23.6C on 2nd June
Last year's maximum of 26.3C was in May - so we don't expect many days above 25C
30C is very unusual.
-
That's pretty cool in relative to other places, where roundabout do you reside?
-
33.9C (93.02F) on June 8. 45 (113) Humidex the same day.

It shows below - Northern England
-
79F (26C) on Saturday June 4, if you (like KeithBC says) consider that "hot" (which it sorta is for June around here)
Should we update this thread every day, as the days will tend to get predictably warmer almost daily for the next couple of months? (At least when the sun comes out, around here.)
-
In my back yard we have hit 101.
Other places in South Texas along the Rio Grande have been near 110.
-
Yeah, I think it would be kind of cool to update our highest temperature this year.
I'll start:
New highest temperature is 94F set on June 9th. It was a hot day, with the average dew point being 66F!
-
The hottest day so far this year has been 98 on June 6th.
-
33 degress on June 8 in Toronto.
-
33 degress on June 8 in Toronto.
I guess that's why they call it The Great White North! Brrr!
-
June 7. Minneapolis 101.8F By the way, that is the hottest day since 2006!
-
33 degress on June 8 in Toronto.

I think he meant 33 degrees celsius.

I think Greg was being sarcastic...

97.1 (36.16 celsius) on May 22 for this year; however on a rolling 12 months hight temp was 101.8 (38.77 celsius) the 15th of June. That's also the highest temp seen in my almost 2 years of having a real weather station.
-
High temp of the day doesn't bother me as much as high temps over night. It usually cools to the mid 60's at night in my area of NE PA but when it stays above 74 over night I find it rather uncomfortable sleeping. I don't care to run the AC to sleep -prefer window fan and a cool evening breeze on on the deck at night.
So far 92.5 was the daytime high here.
-
I agree, I like lows to fall to around 60 for some cool breeze, and 74 IS uncomfortable
-
30 years in the SW Deserts and I'm still that way myself. Nice upper 50s - low 60s at nite with that cool breeze flowing thru the windows.
Still 99.5 for the high on June 1st. Low 100s forecast during the week.
-
Sounds hot! Try to stay cool! :grin:

Just now hit 100°F for the first time this year.
-
We have hit 100 one time since 1991, and that was 104 in 2007. That day, my family's car broke down on the highway, and we were stuck in the heat for almost 2 hours!!!
-
June 7. Minneapolis 101.8F By the way, that is the hottest day since 2006!
It's surprising Minnesota would beat my part of Oklahoma in getting to a 100. It may crack 100 here by this weekend.
-
I just recieved my weather station 8 days ago, so I don't know if we've had hotter, but 96.8 with an heat index of 111* is the hottest I have seen since then.
Until I get my data logger, and VWS software, is there a way on the Davis Vantage pro2 to see the highs and lows? (Other than the small graph with dots and lines!) I have not found it if there is.
-
That's a big jump on the heat index....what was your dew point at that time?
-

Wow! That's pretty uncomfortable...We stay in the high 60s in the summer time with temps in the low 90s, but that sounds downright steamy!

You're telling me. Walking/jogging around the lake pictured below for exercise is no longer such a pleasant experience.

I drove I-40 thru the Texas handle and across OK in the summer of '76.
Never again...
-
I never thought that area was that humid!
-
104°F yesterday with a nice comfy dewpoint of 32°
Shooting for a high of 110 today! :-)
-
that's pretty normal for Vegas though, isnt it?
-
98.5 on May 22. We may beat that today!
-

It is. What is unusual is how late the first official 100 degree day was this year.

Had a run up to 99.9 and it dropped to 98.6. Running back up now and... nope - 99.7 and dropping.
Wait... coming back up and... nope! Dropping again. I'll probably hit it in the next 30 or 40 minutes tho'.
7% Humidity is nice! 24 on the Dew!
EDIT: THERE IT IS! 100.0 with 6% humidity and a 21 on the dew!

Doesn't look like we will break 110, so not too bad.
Just another day in paradise. :-)
Now tomorrow with the wind, that gets a little annoying.
But hey, at least I don't have to shovel it!

94.7 @ 10:00pm PDT. What are the Odds will drop below 90 by midnight?
-
I never thought that area was that humid!
Visitors from the states to the east like Tennessee don't think the humidty here is as bad as where they come from.
-
When I drove thru there that time I was still living in NY on Long Island and thought we could get brutal back there.
That drive was unreal. New car, ice cold A/C and we were soaked in sweat. There was no escaping it!

I had a bad beat stretch one year 1/2 points, 50+ yard field goals with no time left, etc that had me saying that I couldn't hit a ticket if I saw the game the nite before I bet it.
Here's a perfect example of that year: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/recap?gid=20031221030&prov=ap (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/recap?gid=20031221030&prov=ap) . JAX -3 to make a 6 teamer... I remember it as if it were yesterday. Keys in my hand and ready to roll to the book...

Might beat my high of 94 next week!!

This just in...
New year to date high of 112.2°F @ 4:15pm! 8-)
Officially at McCarran International Airport it reached 111°F as of about 5pm.

A good friend of mine recorded 121F today in Buckeye, AZ. :shock:

It was definately HOT in the desert yesterday Sky Harbor hit 118°F :shock: a Record for the date while here in North Phoenix it was 113.9°F which was just short :roll: of the record :cry: for the date of: 114.5°F on July 2, 2001 which just so happens to be :roll: one of 3 only times I have hit my alltime record high of 115
HOT!! for anyone but at least there are signs that the Monsoon is coming which will bring slightly cooler :roll: temps but a end to so called DRY HEAT :roll:!!!

Ouch 118 :!: at Sky Harbor and you with just about 114! It even looks like it was so hot it turned your computer font red Jeanette! :grin:
You're absolutely right about that Monsoon moisture is moving in. A pretty large complex of storms to your south last night setup a good surge
that's moving through this morning. Doesn't look like you will be getting as close to your record today. ;)
Our friend Matt from WeatherBus has been posting a discussion about this latest push of moisture on the SWN forum. Come on over and check it out! 8-)
-
I've seen 100.4 on 6-6-2011
-
June is typically my hottest month so 108.1 on JUN 27 might stand as my year's high.
-
The reason why Buckeye hit 121F and Phoenix Sky Harbor did not is due to the elevation. The area he is in is about 970 feet in elevation. Sky Harbor is at 1,135 feet in elevation. That makes enough difference to show a 3-5 degree increase in temperatures.
-
Only got to around 91 day before yesterday, but 92ish temps are in the forecast soon! :grin:
-
Today is our hottest day of the year. **Drum roll** 24.1C All together, now... "Oooooh!"
-
Thats April and early May for us.
-
A new high for the year was set here today, July 5th. It got up to 106. It also got up to 106 at the local airport, also a new high for the year for them. Hopefully, some relief, however, rather slight is coming starting Wednesday evening when a cool front approaching gives a 30% chance for thunderstorms and high temperature dropping to the upper 90s for Thursday and Friday.
-
how does upper 90s compare to average highs?
-
how does upper 90s compare to average highs?
The average high for July 6th is 92. For all of July it's 94.
Weather Synopsis...Isolated showers will be possible late tonight from southeast Oklahoma into parts of western north Texas. Rainfall, if any, will be spotty and light. Isolated showers and storms will occur again Wednesday afternoon with a modest increase in rain chances expected Thursday across mainly northern Oklahoma. Meanwhile, the extreme heat is forecast to persist into next week.
-
We have been above average for most of the past 2 weeks for the exception of maybe 2 days.

I live just about 80 miles from Bunty; my hottest day sofar this year was June 27th at 105.6 degrees. Some people here are beginning to compare this summer to the summer of 1980 for Tulsa, which was no fun. It was rated as the warmest summer on Tulsa record, with an average temperature of 88.0.
-
Uhmmm... My hottest day so far is 74.0 in my back yard and 69.9 on the water side.... The marine influence creates a real microclimate. In fact, I have gotten messages from Wunderground that my data is incorrect. I installed two temp sensors and report two temperatures on my site. It will be 10+ degrees warmer on the protected side of my house during a North (off the water) wind. In a south wind they match exactly. My current VWS Graph looks like:

Been gathering data since 2006. Just tied my all time record high of 107.8° set in 2006 at 3:45 today(7/7/11).
Highs in July this year:
7/1/11: 102.7°
7/2/11: 104.1°
7/3/11: 105.5°
7/4/11: 107.4°
7/5/11: 103.5°
7/6/11: 103.0°
7/7/11: 107.8°
7/8/11 104.9°
(My spare VP2 just hit 108°)
11 12 days in row so far above 100°. Not a record run by any means (so far) but hot never-the-less.
-
Holy moly Doug!! That is incredible!!!
I just bought my $15 thermometer with max/min and the highest for it is 87F....
next few days forecasts for Procious though:
Friday: 83
Saturday: 84
Sunday: 89
Monday: 89
Considering that this is almost 1500ft above sea level, and dew points around 70 on sunday and monday, it will be toasty, but not like Doug!
The lowlands are expected to reach the mid 90s Sunday and Monday; the highest temp for Charleston, WV this year is 94F.

Is the weather summer proof at your location?
-
Today will be the 14th day with temps at or above 100 degrees for my station this year. #-o Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) average is 16 per year. The DFW record for most in a calendar year is 69 in 1980. :shock:
-
Is the weather summer proof at your location?
Bunty.... I almost choked on that line..... My wife would probably agree. We are significantly cooler than all the areas around us. The marine influence really moderates the temps. If you go out on the coast it is even cooler. We have had the coldest and wettest spring and early summer in years. Seattle finally broke 80 yesterday. The high was 84 and people were complaining about the heat.... Sheesh....
Our summers you can usually plan on mid 70's to mid 80's as normal highs. However... in my front yard (waterside) it's not gonna happen very often. When the wind blows over the 52 degree water, it's tough to heat it up to 80 by the time it hits the house. The local bloggers just did some interesting articles on "Superior Mirages". I did a post on it and then the ABC affiliate in Seattle did another blog about it with a photo I sent them. This really demonstrates the temperature differential that the cool water creates. Here is the link: http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/125168054.html?blog=y (http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/125168054.html?blog=y) It actually bends light.....

Local news is calling for 96 on Monday; the hottest temp for us this year in Charleston...Here in the mountains, we run a few degrees cooler than there, so looking to hit about 91 here.
Not that hot comparing to others.
-
Today, Saturday, 7/9/11, the high got up to 110, rounded up from 109.8, for the year's new high. At the local airport it was 111. In looking for some degree of relief, since the month started storms have formed most afternoons in the High Plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas and moved southeast, but they have always been dissipating before they can get here.
The heat wave here is becoming unusually bad as it continues on. It also hit 110 in Oklahoma City today for an all time record high for the day. It also ties the record for the hottest July day ever. The last time it got that hot in Oklahoma City was on July 6, 1996. Highs of around 110, or a little higher were common in central and western Oklahoma today. Highest high was apparently 114. It will be interesting to see if Sunday is another record breaker. I would sooner hope not.

Come on, you can do it! Only 2 more degrees and you will have tied us here in Vegas! :-)

The hottest here in KY has been 94.1 back in early June. We have had 14 days over 90 so far this year. Those are more like August temps.
The forecast high is today is 91 and for some reason we are under a heat advisory for the first time. Maybe it is the higher humidity factored in triggering the advisory.
-
Humidity must have been a factor, because east of you in Charleston, WV, the high is also 91...With dew points near 70...
Just looked on wunderground....87 now with dpoint of 68 makes heat index 91.....
Since I have bought my new thermometer, it has not reached 90 in the higher mountains of Procious (1200 ft approx), but Charleston has hit it many times....96 tomorrow is the high!
-
Wow. My weather station here at the house is reporting, as of 1:10 pm CDT, 104.5 degrees. The Tulsa Airport, official temperature as of 12:53 pm was 102 even. My high here yesterday was 106. I'm already 6 degrees ahead of where I was this time yesterday. Gads.

Much of the South and Midwest is getting in on this intense summer heat.

And according to a comment by an Oklahoma City TV weather man, Oklahoma City is behind you by only around two days for number of days with temperatures of 100 or higher.

You folks have had one heck of a summer so far! :shock: Hopefully, it will cool down for you in the near future.
There is quite a bit of summer left to go. I have a feeling we will start to pull away from you shortly. ;)

Have a look at this forecast (for Tulsa, OK). Not much relief in sight.

My station had it's all time record broken today at 108.5. I worry about my a/c unit when this kind of prolonged heat happens. I check it every year, but this is just a lot.

It appears that the heat is there for the long haul. It's interesting to note that we have had more rain (so far) this July than you (0.51in. vs 0.00in.)! :shock:
I hope your a/c unit holds out. If it's any consolation, our air conditioners run practically 24/7 during the summer and keep right on chugging! :-)

For Oklahoma City, the year with the most days of 100 or over was 1980 with 50. So far in 2011 - 21 days.

For Oklahoma City, the year with the most days of 100 or over was 1980 with 50. So far in 2011 - 21 days.
19 Days of 100+ officially at McCarran Airport so far in 2011.
1947 tallied 100, 100+ degree days for the year with the most.
1940 29 days were in excess of 110.
But hey, it's the Mohave Desert, it is supposed to be hot here!
You guys need a break! 8-)

Here in Southern Oklahoma with 6 yrs of data I set a new "all time" record of 108.7° on 7/9/11. The "warmest day" record was also set the 9th of 97.3°. This makes all 10 days in July above 100° with a total this year above 100° of 19 days. Just trying to keep the wife's plants alive......forget the grass. We have only mowed 3 times this year were in a "normal" year we would mow about once a week. Hot and dry sums it up....the city is talking about water rationing soon.
Norman forecast discussion this A.M.:
...........THE UPPER RIDGE
IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY SLIGHTLY AGAIN LATER IN THE WEEK TO ADD A FEW
DEGREES MORE TO AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES......

As of 1PM, Charleston was up to 91F...The highest this year is 94 twice, and I think it will be broken...97 tomorrow!!
Also, how about this, 73F dew point, making current heat index 99!
I have set the highest temperature since I got my thermometer...It used to be 87.4F (We live in mostly shade, and in higher terrain), but it is already up to 89.4F!
-
On 2 Jul the official temp at the airport was 118°. I hit 116.6° at my station. Just a tad on the warm side... :roll:
-
Hope the humidity wasnt too bad, thats downright hot! :grin:
So close to breaking it! 93F was the official high today in Charleston, just 1 degree from tying the hottest temperature of the year there at 94F, which has been reached twice this year.
My thermometer reached its highest this year at 89.7F, which beat the old record of 87.4F (I have only had this thermometer for two weeks). That is still pretty high considering we live in 75% shade, and are around 1200ft above sea level....
NWS is calling for 94F in Charleston tomorrow!

Today is my hottest so far.
96.6F at 5:20 pm.
Heat index was 124!
It's soup outside.
-
what was the dew point at that time!? Thats incredible!
-
what was the dew point at that time!? Thats incredible!
I guess 83.5 F. :lol:

How did you guess that? Is there a formula out there?

http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/html/heatindex.shtml is one, Google is our friend. ;)
-
what was the dew point at that time!? Thats incredible!
According to my console display, my highest heat index was 124 at 17:10.
But from my 5-minute invterval data downloaded from the console, the temp and dew point then was 96.2 and 80.6 and gives a heat index of 118.8.
So I'm not sure how the console came up with 124.
How the heck did it come up with 124?

-
Well, the temp. made it to 107.8° yesterday here at the house. This crap can leave now. Having 1.73 inches of rain in the last 45+ days isn't helping either. Seriously contemplating a move to Alaska until October. :grin:
-

Looks like updating my console firmware has fixed this.
The latest release had a heat index calculation fix.
-
Now with thundershowers forming in the area, hopefully they can mean enough business to keep the drought from advancing. A 40% chance of rain after days of 100s is nice.
-
Just cant quite reach 94 here! 93 both today and yesterday.
-
Today's high in Downtown Lexington was 100.9º on the National Weather Service MMTS with a heat index of 105.5º. Now rain is near with lots of thunder. We'll have hotter days in a few weeks.
-
A little break is in store for us here in WV until the weekend. Upper 80s through Sat., then low to mid 90s Sun, Mon.
-
I had 109º yesterday afternoon in my backyard and we have August to go yet, sheesh.
-
In Arkansas!? Man, thats gotta feel like a noose around yourself John! :shock:
-
The highest I have ever seen was 112 in 1986. I happened to be working outside approx. 100 yards from the NWS office in North Little Rock on that day and it was HOT!!!!
-
Only about 100 or 101 (No official reading where I was). It hit 104 that day in Charleston...The hottest day in probably 30 years. And on that day we decided to go to Hawks Nest State Park...The alternator went out on our way home and we had to be in the heat for a couple of hours...
-
36.6c (97.88F) today. 46 (115F) humidex, and nothing but sun. Great day to be in the pool

Since I have been here, we have had a high temp of 96, dew points in the low to mid 70s, and the highest heat index being 109 here. To the west they reached 110!
Although it is hot here still (Last advisory read 92), a cold front that swept through the area a couple of days ago dropped dew points back to the upper 60s, making heat indeces around 100.
-
99.5 , hot enough for me, but we sure could use the rain. peaches are small and hard, used to be bigger by now. maybe I need to go waste water on them.
-
As of yesterday, this would tie for the 8th hottest summer on record for Charleston, WV, and we're still 10 degrees above average today.

High temp 101
on a different day- High dew point 85 My THSW that day was 130.

The Highest Temp for Phoenix was 122F on Jun 26 1990. I however didn't move here until the following July. So I "Missed" it. We did have a 121F in July 1995.
This year, we had 119F with around 7% humidity (what they call a Dry Heat) near the end of June. Need to look it up.
We have had an unusually dry "Monsoon" this year. Can't think of many days were it was really moist hot which would be typical during Most of July though the End of August. As a result, it has been a fairly comfortable hot this summer, unlike what the mid-weat and now the east have been getting.

You're going by the airport numbers prior to your move tho', correct? How do your own overall summer numbers line up with theirs?
I remember my last summer in Vegas (2005) as being a record setter and every station on my side of town was consistently 5+ degrees higher than LAS.

...before they moved the weather station at the airport, Yuma, AZ, *used* to battle with Thermal, CA, for the dubious title of "HOTTER-than-HELL" capital of USA.
...Tucson's record high is 117ºF on 26-June-1990. And, I recall the airlines having to abort to Tucson for landings when Phoenix airport temp was 122ºF because their electronics weren't "certified" for operation above 120ºF!

Incredible. Tulsa's record high ever was on Aug 10 1936 at 115ºF
Sofar my station has reported a high of 108.9ºF twice this year.
And Tulsa is on par for its hottest summer ever recorded. Our current mean for this summer sofar is around 88.5. Summer of 80 was 87.1. We'll likely break it, as the weather heads are saying no relief in sight likely for at least three weeks.
Here's my July as of yesterday...
-
Tied it again yesterday at 96!

@#$% ](*,) Here it is the end of July / beginning of August, traditionally the hottest week of the year, and our high for the year is still only 25.2C. If anyone has some heat to spare, I'll take it off your hands.

I remember the weathernets around town on the news that week - all the ones by me in the Ft Apache/Twain area were running 120s. Every one of them. It was brutal for sure. Even with the chilled air being aimed at my bed, I still had a floor fan running. I had already decided to move from Vegas prior to that but that pretty much cinched it entirely.
Now I'm nice and cool with only a 108 as a record high (station).

hot all week. Better than ice, snow and low wind chills.
The soil moisture reading in my garden was 42 at the 4 inch level and 41 at the 12 inch level... I figured since there was no rain in the forecast, time to water the garden.
Peaches on the trees are small for this time of the year, that rain in June didn't seem to help them in July.
Anyway...it is hot, humid and just nasty that way, but I'd rather have this than the cold
-
but I'd rather have this than the cold
I disagree. When it is cold you can always put another sweater on. When it is hot you cannot do anything.
By the way, we reached 89.7°F on July 6. Great "No Summer" so far.

On the one hand, an average person can survive hot weather relatively easy. On the other hand, no one is immune to freezing to death.

I have some other data that's not posted on the comparison and it's amazing how close all the numbers are. If this were a blind test, no one would be able to decide which is the $100 unit & which is the $1000 unit.

I'm sure NE Oklahoma can beat that tomorrow. We're possibly going to break the city alltime record of 115. Today's official high at the airport was 112. They're calling for 114, but that all depends on the timing of the front that's moving this way. If we get the compressional heating that happens in advance, I'm guessing we'll get 116 or 117. If not, it will likely be closer to 114. My station registered 113.9 degrees today. For another alltime station record.

I don't know how Lexington kept on going without me. Until I moved here, there was no official Lexington, Ga. temperature records. Now the NWS Coop station (mine) records temperatures and rainfall.

Oklahoma City recently went over 50 days of highs of a 100 or better within a year to set an all record in that department as it goes on resetting the record at a daily rate.

What kind of indeces were you all getting?
-
100F here in Kennewick, WA... however this is very unusual. Most people think of Washington as wet and cool, but neglect the massive desert sitting just a few hours from Seattle. At the Pasco/Tri-Cities Airport the 'official' temperature has only hit 99F. The old record latest 100 degree day was July 20... but we 'officially' haven't hit 100F yet this year.
-
Back to low to mid 90s by the weekend....97 is our best this year....dont think it will be quite that hot, but 92-94 is in the forecast for Labor Day weekend.
-
114.8°F on 8/25 has been the highest so far this year here at my station.
Hopefully that will be it...but you never know!
It also looks like it will go down as the warmest August on record officially here in Vegas:

...WARMEST AUGUST ON RECORD LIKELY FOR PARTS OF THE MOJAVE DESERT...
FOLLOWING A COOL SPRING AS WELL AS A JUNE AND JULY THAT WERE CLOSE
TO NORMAL...AUGUST 2011 HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A HOT ONE. IN FACT
IT APPEARS AUGUST 2011 WILL LIKELY GO DOWN AS THE HOTTEST ON
RECORD AT LAS VEGAS...KINGMAN AND NEEDLES. BELOW IS THE AVERAGE

2. 93.0 DEGREES IN 2008
3. 92.9 DEGREES IN 1994
4. 92.5 DEGREES IN 2007
5. 92.2 DEGREES IN 1969
THE AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE THIS MONTH SO FAR HAS BEEN 3.9
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WHILE THE AVERAGE LOW TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN
2.5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THE AVERAGE LOW WILL LIKELY RANK AS THE
WARMEST ON RECORD FOR AUGUST...WHILE THE AVERAGE HIGH WILL LIKELY
BE THE 4TH WARMEST ON RECORD.
THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE IN AUGUST 2011 WILL ALSO RANK IN THE TEN
WARMEST MONTHS FOR ANY MONTH...AND BE THE ONLY MONTH OUTSIDE OF A
JULY TO DO SO.
THERE HAVE BEEN 29 DAYS THIS MONTH WITH A HIGH IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS.
THIS IS THE MOST FOR AN AUGUST SINCE 1996 WHEN THERE WERE 29 SUCH
DAYS. THE FORECAST HIGH FOR TODAY SHOULD PUT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF
TRIPLE DIGIT HIGHS FOR THE MONTH AT 30 WHICH WOULD BE THE MOST FOR
AUGUST SINCE 1985 WHEN THERE WERE 31 DAYS. AUGUSTS 1937...1944 AND
1952 ALL ALSO HAD 31 DAYS WITH TRIPLE DIGIT HIGHS IN AUGUST.

Wow!! We could beat our high of 96 this weekend! The NWS just bumped it up to 96; it was 92 yesterday

114.8°F on 8/25 has been the highest so far this year here at my station.
Hopefully that will be it...but you never know!
It also looks like it will go down as the warmest August on record officially here in Vegas:
You set (and will surely hold) my personal record for the year when we passed through Vegas a couple of weeks ago. 108°F when we arrived and 111°F the following day (8/18) according to my RV-PWS. We stayed at that place you suggested not far from you, so I can probably calibrate to your station. The A/C couldn't keep the inside temp below 92°F, even though we stuffed pillows in the roof-vents and skylights while we were out. We abandoned our plans to visit Death Valley the next day based on that performance, and began our final stages toward home the next morning.
-
Highest temp in Phoenix this year (so far) is 117° (my station recorded 116.6° on that day). Today makes 32 days at or above 110°. That ties the record, and we will probably beat it tomorrow. The excessive heat warning, which has already been extended a number of times, was extended again last night to this coming Friday. That makes it two weeks in length. This is now the hottest August on record for us.

Good grief, if global warming is true, then some soon upcoming summer the TV weathermen in Oklahoma City will end up excitedly telling us how many days the temp in OKC has gone over 110. It has only done that 3 times this summer at my station. Since rural OKC has a lot more vegetation around it than Phoenix, like cedars, scrub oaks, other assorted trees along with grass, persistent 110 plus degree weather would really turn up the fire threat.

Well at least the dew point wasn't too bad that day!
I agree with you on cancelling the Death Valley visit. Probably would not have been very comfortable. :-)

You guys down in Phoenix always have to be a little bit hotter don't ya John! :lol:
It has been a brutal summer though for a lot of the country.
For now, I'll just sit back and enjoy our cool, breezy 104 degree temps and single digit dew points! What can I say...It's a DRY heat!

How about this for a high temp?
Duluth, MN set a record high temperature of 63258 for Aug 31.
Mean Temperature 31658 °F 61 °F
Max Temperature 63258 °F 71 °F 92 °F (1961)
Wunderground computers took this and posted it as a weather event
Wonder how that temp happened? I think we have all been outdone.

Since rural OKC has a lot more vegetation around it than Phoenix, like cedars, scrub oaks, other assorted trees along with grass, persistent 110 plus degree weather would really turn up the fire threat.
I believe it's true, and responsible for a lot more than just the heat. Look at all the nonsense that's been going on lately - TX is burning up, earthquake and hurricane on the east coast within a week, another possible storm winding up in the Atlantic, we've got more fires burning again, volcano going nuts in Italy, half the nation is parched and half is flooded, etc. Ain't no fun no mo'...

You guys down in Phoenix always have to be a little bit hotter don't ya John! :lol:
Yeah - you know how we are down here, Larry... :roll: But I gotta tell ya - it's definitely gotten outta hand.
It has been a brutal summer though for a lot of the country.
Very true, and, in many cases, very unfortunate.
For now, I'll just sit back and enjoy our cool, breezy 104 degree temps and single digit dew points! What can I say...It's a DRY heat!
Sorry - even dry heat doesn't cut it any more. Or maybe I'm just gettin' old(er).

How about this for a high temp?
Duluth, MN set a record high temperature of 63258 for Aug 31.
Mean Temperature 31658 °F 61 °F
Max Temperature 63258 °F 71 °F 92 °F (1961)
Wunderground computers took this and posted it as a weather event
Wonder how that temp happened? I think we have all been outdone.

There goes that crazy Al Gore trying to fudge the numbers again! :lol:
-
Today makes 32 days at or above 110°. That ties the record, and we will probably beat it tomorrow.
I thought last year's 18 days 100 or more was a lot for me - twice as many as any other year in my data. This year has 26 -that includes today.

If you listen in your mind, Al Gore sounds a lot like Forest Gump, and it all starts to make sense...
One thin September soon
A floating continent disappears
In midnight sun
Vapors rise as
Fever settles on an acid sea
Neptune's bones dissolve
Snow glides from the mountain
Ice fathers floods for a season
A hard rain comes quickly
Then dirt is parched
Kindling is placed in the forest
For the lightning's celebration
Unknown creatures
Take their leave, unmourned
Horsemen ready their stirrups
Passion seeks heroes and friends
The bell of the city
On the hill is rung
The shepherd cries
The hour of choosing has arrived
Here are your tools
And that's all I've got to say about that.

Wow, this heat pocket is worse than the meteos here thought! 96F on Friday and 97F on Sat!!!!! :shock:

Ahhh, fuel for some potentially active weather ahead!(http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss324/DanS_photo_09/rubbinghands.gif)

A good possilbility! A strong cold front is heading to the area sunday, where a good chance of storms arises :D
Dust off the GR3 :D just kidding
-
Hit 96F to tie for the hottest temp of the year this year! Forecasted to be 98F today!!!
-
Well, we broke the hottest temperature of the year with a high of 98F in Charleston!!! Afterwords, a gust front was scene on radar through here with some nasty popcorn style thunderstorms....Lizemores, a small town about 15 miles south of us, reported 1.75 inch hail!!!
The pic denotes the gust front.
-
Any final conclusions?
A) It was dang hot this year
B) Although we did not hit 100F, we hit the mid and upper 90s frequently with dew points in the 70s
c) It was pretty dry during the summer for us

D) for us. 102.6F, March 7th and more rain all summer than usual. ;)
-
102! I bet thats hot in Thailand!!! :shock: :shock:
-
The unusual amount of rain this year has kept the temps lower all summer. The beginning of March we hit that one day and ever since it's been under that. Better than May of last year when we hit 108 (but still didn't complain then). :-P
-
Is it normally a dry or wet heat? I figured probably wet. Is where u live considered a tropical climate?
98F for us, but we had like 20 days that hit at least 95F :shock:
-
Yes, it's tropical climate year round. The hotter weather usually precedes our rainy/monsoon season so usually it's a little more of a dry heat. The norm is hotter and dry then rains with cooler temps., then cooler and dry. We're just now getting into the end of the rains and the arrival of cooler temps. (I hope the rains end, enough grass mowing this year :roll:).
-
98.4F in eastern Massachusetts and only three days with temperatures above 90F
-
98 is how hot we got, but the dew point average was 69F for the day
-
Only a few days over 80F at home. Typical summer for the Puget Sound area. Hottest (at my station) was 87F mid August, the day we returned from our round-the-country trip. Hottest temp experienced this year was 111F in Las Vegas, near the end of the trip.

Seeing that made me think that come around March next spring we should post a "What's 'you' coldest Temperature this year" thread. ;)
-
102 just last Thursday.
-
116.6° on 2 July. The lack of rain is the big problem here.
-
Our summer was rather dry, but we have gotten some needed rain as of late 8-)
-
The warmest temperature this year was 27.4C (81F) on Sept 8th. That is definitely cooler than normal. We should have had a few days above 30C in a normal year, especially in July or August.
-
104°F 6/21/11 Vacaville, CA
-
My station record is 108.2 (2010) and had 108.1 this year. 26 days over 100, 18 last year and no more than 9 in the 3 years prior to that.

Geesch! and I thought it got warm around here at times. Is there a guy that hangs out around there dressed all in red and holding a red pitch fork? :evil: :-P

101.1° here on September 2nd. Cincinnati is about 1 inch short of breaking the annual precipitation record... with two months still remaining in the year!

113 officially here on August 3rd, my station recorded 115.0 on that date as well for its all time record.
The summer mean for Tulsa was 87.6 degrees...making it the second hottest summer on record, only behind 88.0 degrees posted in 1980.
This was the most brutal summer I can ever remember. I was 13 in 1980, and don't really remember it very well. I'm not sad to see it go.
-
Were the humidity levels as bad as they were in South Dakota in the summer? (In the summertime after the heavy rains there were regular readings of 80F dew points near Pierre) :shock:
-
It seems that it was a hotter, drier summer in the southwest and up though the Texas panhandle and therabouts, while the Pacific Northwest had a cold spring and a cool-to-average summer, compared to the record temps we have had the last couple of summers. I wonder how it averages out globally.
It's kind of fun for me to see the reports for high temps this summer from around north America. We were in so many of those places, and I recorded the daily high and general conditions on each day. Either from my RVWS if we were on the road, or the nearest WU station if we were stopped. Joseph mentioned SD. We spent a couple of days there in late July, and it was comfy for us. Whatever the humidity, it is drier than the PNW, and MUCH drier (and cooler) than once we reached Ontario and the entire east coast, until we got back to the Albuquerque area. Then it was just hotter than heck (but a dry heat) until we got home in mid-August.

How about we try kelvin? :grin:

-
It is not unheard of for early June.
-
51F was Charleston's absolute coldest temperature for the summer :-)
-
How about we branch this thread and ask what the hottest temperature for the winter?
-
Now that we're out of winter....For 2012:
86F today!!!! That broke a daily record! Normally we dont get this warm until May! Average high is upper 50s.
-
You ought to make a new 2012 thread.
We had 82.4˚ today when our average is in the 50s. There were several records broken locally. 83˚ put us over the all-time record for any date in March.

Will do!! :grin:
