Haven't seen a thread yet. Guess it's time. Spring either starts in a few days or about 4 weeks no matter how you define it.
For many of us, 'Spring' has been here for the last few weeks already despite the calendar and the norms.
Most of my flowering trees are already budded out and some are in bloom.

Ha! It's been mostly late Summer-early Fall heat environment down here this 'winter'. 8-)
It has been the mildest 'winter' on record (and in my memory too). Every month has set "average temp" and many "daily high/min low" records.
These are beyond random fluctuations, this is the third year of these (no longer?) record anomalies.

:twisted:
“Western Atlantic basin SSTs are on fire!” tweeted hurricane forecaster Eric Blake (@EricBlake12) on Thursday. “Easily warmest on record--especially the Gulf of Mexico.” This warmth is especially well reflected in a swarm of daily record highs and record-warm lows at Galveston, TX, where records began in 1874. Since September 1, Galveston has set an impressive 33 heat records of various types--more than any other Southeast city during that period in a compilation pulled together late Thursday by Houston meteorologist Matt Lanza (@MattLanza). Eric Berger (Space City Weather) has more on the extremely mild Houston/Galveston winter....
Texas and the century mark: 100°F heat on Thursday
We expect to see temperatures over 100°F in Texas in July, but not in February! Temperatures soared past the 100 degree mark at several stations in southern Texas on Thursday, flirting with the all-time U.S. temperature record for February. According to wunderground weather historian Christopher C. Burt, the Texas (and national) February heat record is either a questionable 104° at Fort Ringgold (now known as Rio Grande City) on Feb. 20, 1902 or, more likely, 103° at La Joya on Feb. 28, 2009 and also at Laredo on Feb. 20, 1986 and Feb. 27, 2011. The 101°F reading in McAllen, Texas on Thursday was their hottest February temperature ever recorded. A number of COOP and Mesonet stations also exceeded 100°F on Thursday, with the hottest being a 107°F mark at Falcon Lake on the Mexican border. However, we asked south Texas weather expert Richard "Heatwave" Berler (@Heatwave KGNS) about this mark, and he responded: "I think that the thermometer is miscalibrated or exposed. It consistently runs higher than nearby thermometers during the daytime." Another site at Falcon Lake recorded 103°F (originally reported as 105°) though, and this may be a reasonable measurement, since there were three Mexican stations near Falcon Lake that reported 103°F - 104°F at that time. Update: The NWS/Brownsville office reported in a tweet Friday afternoon that the Falcon Lake COOP station recorded 103°F on Thursday. This ties the most reliable candidates for the national February record noted above.
Here are the 100°F readings in Texas from from February 23 as recorded in the NOAA Weather and Hazards Viewer (thanks go to Hal Needham for alerting us to this tool):
107°F at Falcon Lake RAWS
105°F at Falcon Lake COOP (APRSWXNET/CWOP)
102°F in Atlee
102°F in Dilley
101°F at Zapata
100°F at Faith Ranch Airport
100°F at Cotulla
100°F - 101°F at three stations in McAllen
101°F at Laredo
The hot temperatures in southern Texas have increased wildfire risk this week, and a Red Flag Warning for dangerous fire conditions was posted on Friday for most of the region.

Storm Prediction Center kicks Spring off right on time with an Enhanced Risk area covering several states for February 28th into March 1st.
I really hope this isn't a precursor to a bad severe season.
-
Enhanced Risk area expanded to a much larger area now for Tuesday, then moves SE for Wednesday.
-
Spring's coming in noisy. Lots of banging booming and flashing. Unfortunately, there will be plenty of damage too.
Numerous Tornado Warnings have already been issued and there is sure to be m ore before morning.
-
The roller coaster continues; 70s a couple of days ago, 46 tomorrow, then upper 60s again by Monday.

URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service
312 PM CST Thu Mar 9 2017
...Freezing Temperatures Expected Friday Night...
.A rare area of Arctic high pressure will surge across the area
late tonight and Friday, setting the stage for a hard freeze over
portions of the region late Friday night and Saturday morning.
Low temperatures in the 20s will be common over the next several
nights heading into next week.
312 PM CST Thu Mar 9 2017
...FREEZE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM FRIDAY TO 8 AM CST
SATURDAY...
The National Weather Service in Paducah has issued a Freeze
Warning, which is in effect from 10 PM Friday to 8 AM CST
Saturday.
* TEMPERATURE...Mid 20s along the I-64 corridor to around 30 near
the border region of southeast Missouri.
* IMPACTS...The forecast temperatures will likely damage fruit
trees, especially those trees that have already budded out such
as peach trees. Other plants that are similarly ahead of
schedule for the spring growing season could also be impacted.
Please take precautions to protect any sensitive plants. The
cold nights will likely continue well into next week.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Freeze Warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or
highly likely. These conditions will kill crops and other
sensitive vegetation.
&&
Yes, my peach tree is budded out and has some blooms.
-
Hit 90F today and aired out the cold house. We'll be upper 80's pretty much through the next week. :-)

This has to be some kind of weird joke:

This has to be some kind of weird joke:
And as long as that great big blue H sits over my neck of the woods, things ain't gonna change much.
-
Those big blue H's in the north are also in an long string of them moving to the east from out of the Bering.
-
Having some of the coldest weather since December this week.
Spring my foot.
-
Spring my foot.
No kidding, forget spring, we've got temps here normal for early/mid June.
-
Here in KY, we saw quite a bit of damage from that severe storm outbreak that ushered in the month of March. Record breaking warmth carried us through the week leading up to that.
This week, polar opposite. Lows in the teens, daffodils screaming for mercy, fruit trees being damaged, tracking possible snow events. Nature always keeps a balance.
As for what spring will hold, I'm expecting an uptick in severe. The midwest has been very quiet for the last few years due to El Nino dominating. That's led to cool, wet summers with few tornadoes, and cold, snowy winters. Well, now we're headed the other direction with weak La Nina conditions present and a true war between cold air and warm air already setting up in the Ohio Valley region. Things in this part of the world are about to get interesting.
-
astronomical spring today :-)
Little trivia...
Despite the common belief that spring equinox is on Mar 21st, it can actually be anytime between 19th and 21st and 21st is relatively exception. There will not be a single spring equinox on March 21st (UTC) until the end of this century :-)
-
Now I can talk about spring. Golf ball hail in Iowa today. Pea size in Minnesota.
-
Well spring season in my country actually is SUMMER already hohoho
-
This weather system has been doing pretty good for the rain in the most of the western half of Oklahoma, so far, tonight. No tornadoes or big hail associated with the storms. Some places have had high wind gusts, and flash flooding in low lying areas, though.

-
Well Except us hehehehe heat Index now is almost 37 degrees (98.6 F) expect you have sunburn in just 8 mins exposure. you can fried an egg just exposed it outside our yard LOL :-P ^^
-
Forecast of 81 today, then 61 Friday?
Momma still can't figure out what season she wants to wear.
-
26C (79F) last weekend
1C (33F) with -7C (19F) feels like (strong wind) and snowing today
:D :D
I enjoy this
-
Damn I wish we can have snow here too but its not gonna happened :lol:
our temp today highest is 93F (34 C) with its heat index soaring 105F damn cool, nope but damn hawt haha and got another quake at MG 4.9 (8km depth), we got a total of 44 strong earth quakes in just 7 days and actually 4 of our towns declared under state of calamity XD
the best thing I did today is I modified our local rain radar into my version which is more detailed map terrain compared to this one on the right which is seemed PAGASA personnels are too lazy in modifying their web pages ](*,)

Kinda the same here after the passage of a strong cold front. The low is to be 39 Sunday morning. That is unusually cold for a low here for time of year At least it won't be any closer to 32. Many gardeners have their flowers and vegetables planted. Hopefully, 39 holds as forecast, and there won't be any surprise freeze warning.
On Friday, the front brought a lot of rain and included some severe thunderstorms. Winds up to 80 mph blew down tall power poles on May Ave. in northwest Oklahoma City, pictured. Much of the Oklahoma City metro area got between 2 and 6 inches of rain. The Tulsa area got a lot of rain, too. For my station less so with 1.93" with nothing severe.

Today is such a great day in Minneapolis. Mid-sixties clear skies calm winds beautiful day. So I am at the convention center downtown watching a dance competition. I can't get any time to fertilize my yard.
But on the bright side I just found out that my daughter made the dance team at North Dakota State. Great day

good to hear that as ive look at you weather systems are assertive EXCEPT ours, we have 27 casualties already with 2 dead on floods due to a heavy rain since last night (we have 84 mm of rain today) and this morning a pain in the ass heat index, how terrible our weather system is if CZECH is on almost same constant colder temp, but ours is unpredictable, during the weather changes is in instant change. Imgine in the morning the suns slapping our skins then at night HEAVY rain slapping our land location causing damages and floods. how terrible climate change in our country :(

Not sure I understand your post, but you seem to live in a rainy area

We are in summer season but still experiencing heavy rains, and yes im living on a tropical country that does most of rains and typhoons, cant imagine only for this month I got a total of 314 rain trend. sorry for my bad english sometimes coz im not too fluent on grammar :oops:
-
Thats fine, Im also not a native speaker, I just didnt get what you meant regarding my country :D
P.S.
Very variable daily precipitation amounts on consecutive days have nothing to do with climate change ;) Do not confuse weather with climate, those are very different.

yes it supposed to be like that but even our local weather government decided that the experience in our daily precipitation is due to our country's climate changes after a Typhoon HAIYAN ("Yolanda" in our local name) destroys almost entire visayas region last Nov 2013, imagine we are close to China shich is one of the mos polluted country reaching above ozone rate of gas emissions affecting southern countries, also the supposed to be our heavy rain season should be in june-august. normal precipitation should not exceed 40mm of precipitation in just 1 hr for normal climate according to PAGASA and in summer season in our country should be experience inter tropical conversion only, not as heavy precipitation exceeding above 3 inches of precipitation in just one hour in one night. PAGASA said only a selected countries now a days are to be considered normal climate rate, this is why our president SIGNED again the deal in Paris Climate change program last March 2017 to control gas emissions causing climate changes in tropical countries like ours, I dont know if CHINA will cooperate. (http://globalnation.inquirer.net/153030/duterte-finallly-signs-paris-agrement-climate-change) after that, our gov. delegate representative officials of UN urges to study about the report for climate change in our country and that time while our delegate in speech giving directive reports of climate change for philippines, that time exactly while our country is under destruction form TC Haiyan and if you remembered this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SSXLIZkM3E) with that of our government considers and to address issues regarding change in climate observations from PAGASA since 2012, so its obvious that we are already at the belt of climate change which the whole world in UN org. awares that. ( take note this storm we had ago is not an ordinary for the most of decades in our history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfHaK-bK53M)

The record low high for this date is 55 (1965). It's currently 53 and forecast to be cloudy with drizzle. Making a run for it? Forecast is 66, but I'm having doubts considering the northwest wind.
-
High of 34 today. Not sure yet, May be a record low high for this date. Had a few snow flurries a few times today. Cancelled a track meet. Felt like 27. Then when we cancelled, kids asked why?
I told them to step outside. They got the idea fast.
-
Still well below average, drizzle/rain all day and windy :-) Ideal for me :) Snow at higher elevations

Wow, the hype! 10 Inches Of Snow, Hail, Flooding Rain, Tornado Threat For Oklahoma This Weekend. Tulsa could get up to 5.8" of rain. http://www.news9.com/story/35275902/10-inches-of-snow-hail-flooding-rain-tornado-threat-for-oklahoma-this-weekend (http://www.news9.com/story/35275902/10-inches-of-snow-hail-flooding-rain-tornado-threat-for-oklahoma-this-weekend)
At any rate, it's a classic spring low pressure set up. Severe weather on Southern Plains and a snow storm along the Front Range in Colorado. Denver is supposed to pick up 4-6 inches by Saturday night.

^^ I thought April Fools was at the beginning of the month?

Well, another TV weatherman in Oklahoma City, Mike Morgan of KFOR, shows Tulsa getting considerably less rain. He shows heaviest rain will concentrate in the southeast part of the state with nothing going over 5".
Just had a severe thunderstorm here that didn't amount to much, except for heavy rain and a wind gust to 29 mph. It lightly hailed pea size. Rain amount has gone over an inch with more coming. Total rain at my station for all of April may get to 7 inches. That means no more drought in my part of Oklahoma on the drought map.

Photo shown taking a break between two storms as of 04:20 am, April 28. No severe storm warning had been called on the new approaching storm at that time. However, a flood watch has just been issued. I'm not surprised. Lines of storms are going through the middle of the state like a parade, a situation I seldom see.

Meanwhile in the Philippines (April 29,2017) magnitude 7.3 and that area declared national Calamity in an instant. . . .:3 :shock:

Any reports of significant damage in the country?
-
Rainfall totals in central Oklahoma thus far from radar estimates. The white areas are around 5+ inches. One of the severe storms last night brought wind that caused damage in Oklahoma City. I-40 was closed due to fallen power lines across it.

ha, ha, It's been raining cats and dogs in Stillwater as shown on my Davis station. I'm on the back side of the system now. We'll see if more develops out west later this evening. I think it if does, it won't be nearly as heavy.

As pictured, soccer bleachers from Oklahoma City University got blown into a home by straight line winds Saturday morning. In midtown OKC, from 23rd - 36th Sts., it's said to look like a war zone. Big trees were uprooted and fences blown down. Many people there without electricity.

Me? ah yeah one of major roads in mindanao sliced in half after that quake, several homes crashd in land slides 15 injured and 700 families evacuated as of now :(

Oklahoma isn't the only state getting huge amounts of rain. Large areas in Arkansas and Missouri have had 4 to 10"+.
And then incredible amounts of snow from SD to the TX panhandle. It's unusual for time of year, but sure preferable to a major tornado outbreak. But northeast Texas isn't being spared from killer tornadoes tonight.

It rained enough, as much as 5", to send Boomer Lake in Stillwater over the spillway as pictured. No serious flooding in Stillwater, but a statement has been issued by Stillwater Emergency Management as of this morning:
We have checked all of the streams, creeks and area lakes this morning. We found that they are all well inside of their banks.
Lake Carl Blackwell continues to flow over the principle spillway at approximately 12-14", but Stillwater creek is handling that water just fine. The ponds located at 6th & Sangre are now two ponds again and the Koby Plaza water reservoir is down significantly. Boomer lake is still flowing over the spillway at approximately 4-6", and Boomer creek is processing that water very well also.
The roads that were shut down have been opened, with the exception of Western Rd, between McElroy and Hall of Fame. So, please avoid that area for the next 24 hours.
Our 72 hour rainfall totals were really impressive for our area. It is a good thing that the area lakes were low or this event could have been a lot worse.
There are some downed trees and large branches down that the Operations department will have to deal with on Monday, so if you live around one of those locations be sure to exercise extreme caution.
For those of you that live along the Cimarron river area, the river is set to crest this morning at 20.0' But will recede quickly this evening. This will cause some flooding in the normal areas that flood, but should not impact too large of an area. This is from the NRCS report and the NWS Hydrology department in Norman.
We want to thank you for exercising good judgement this weekend. We only had 3 water rescues that took place, and we believe that is due to being at the right place at the wrong time.

There are some downed trees and large branches down that the Operations department will have to deal with on Monday, so if you live around one of those locations be sure to exercise extreme caution.
For those of you that live along the Cimarron river area, the river is set to crest this morning at 20.0' But will recede quickly this evening. This will cause some flooding in the normal areas that flood, but should not impact too large of an area. This is from the NRCS report and the NWS Hydrology department in Norman.
We want to thank you for exercising good judgement this weekend. We only had 3 water rescues that took place, and we believe that is due to being at the right place at the wrong time.

Severe thunderstorm watch issued in Southern Plains:
(http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0208_radar.gif)
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1255 PM CDT Thu May 11 2017
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Northwest Arkansas
Southern Kansas
Southwest Missouri
North-central and eastern Oklahoma
* Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 1255 PM
until 900 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events
to 3 inches in diameter possible
Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop and increase
this afternoon, initially across north-central and northeast OK
along and north-northeast of a surface low and residual outflow
boundary. These storms will spread into additional parts of eastern
OK, southern KS, southwest MO, and western AR through late afternoon
and early evening. Large hail should be the most common threat, but
locally damaging winds will also be possible along with some tornado
risk, mainly near the residual outflow boundary across parts of
north-central to northeast/east-central OK.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
statute miles north and south of a line from 15 miles west of Enid
OK to 30 miles east northeast of Fayetteville AR. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.
AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
25025.
-
Fortunately, as things developed this afternoon, Stillwater stayed between two severe storms which warranted tornado warnings. So all it did was rain. But another storm may be on its way. Apparently, no tornado touchdowns came out of the warnings. But there sure was some high wind and hail. Not here, though.

I'm surprised no one has posted yet about the pretty nasty severe threat going on in the south. Threat levels appear high near me (they're talking softball sized hail and bigger including some tornadoes). Huge humid airmass (my dewpoint today has been hovering in the upper 70s...yes, I said upper 70s).

Not sure where you're at, but that's a hellofa bow heading into western KY. Good chance it'll be classified as a derecho eventually.
-
To me, it doesn't look as ominous as it did a while ago. Maybe just getting closer to the radar site and rain wrapped.
-
Well, that really fizzled somewhere along the way. I've had higher winds and gusts on sunny days. Didn't even stop the hummingbirds from hitting the feeders.
-
Guess we'll wait and see if the individual cells in MO fizzle out too.

After two very warm days a cold front arrived. Right now we just have a squall line going across my city, few minutes ago we had hailstorm and now just thunderstorm :-) Loving it :D - rain, thunderstorm, dark, very windy... yes I know Im weird :D

Seems like an odd place for an SPC Slight Risk zone; Oregon-Idaho-Montana. I'm sure they have storms there, but it struck me as odd to see the zone there.
-
big storm moving into Minneapolis. 50-70 mph wind gusts.
We are supposed to have Kid 1 grad party at 11. I was smart and did not put up tents and the cars are in the neighbors garage....
-
Rainy season finally here. about 4.80 in the last few days. :grin:
Had a cell just a few miles to my NW yesterday that dumped 5 inches in a little over an hour.
Opened up a sink hole that took this car hostage.

First official 90 degree day.
I don 't expect to see the last until the end of September.
Questions now are, when will be the first 100 and how many will there be?

Questions now are, when will be the first 100 and how many will there be?
I've already had 20 of them. :-({|=

And on that note, we're progged for mid teens early next week.... =;
-
As of right now the 7 day forecast looks interesting for next week with temps only shown in the mid 80s.
-
Not at home right now...but based on station reports, lots of rain and flash flooding in some parts of our area (Roanoke, VA). Airport reporting 1.49 inches and Wundergroud stations reporting upwards of 2 inches. However, my PWS and the others within close proximity are reporting significantly less.
-
OK, so now it's Summer. Temps today and for the past several days have been upper 80s+
Starting tomorrow, they're showing lower 80s and some 70s for the next few days.
-
Not sure what happened here. NWS is showing a 5 degree rise in an hour at midnight. My little weenie station doesn't show that. We're quite some distance apart and I'm more rural than they are, so there will always be a temperature difference.

Sunny and cool today here at coastal NW Germany, with a gusty Northwestern Wind and currently 16°C (61°F) @2:00 PM.
Still warm enough for shirt and shorts for me. :-)
-
Just finished the month of June with 13.19 inches of rain. To put that into perspective the previous 8 months, Oct-May I had 15.07.
This was much needed as lakes and rivers were extremely low. Hopefully the trend will continue through the rest of the rainy season.
-
June is done and I had one day that the high got over 80°F. On June 20th it managed to hit 80.5°. Had three days with rain, totaling 0.38".
Mark
-
Official report shows ending at monthly average temp of 75.7 (0.1 degree above 'normal') with 6.26" (2.20" above 'normal') precip.
Only 4 days above 90 degrees. I went back at looked at 2016 and that showed 18 days above 90. Each of the previous 3 years ('13, '14 and 15) all show at least 10 days above 90.
-
Kind of strikes me as weird, but the high for 7/3 appears to have been around 9AM at 82 degrees. That was during a brief break in clouds as I recall. Since then, it's been hovering around the upper 70s.
-
Hit an all time record high dewpoint of 80.8ºF (27.1ºC) on my Davis VP2 today with the SHT31 (aspirated). Local ASOS (KHSV) peaked with a dewpoint of 79ºF (26.1ºC) around the same time. We had a brief rain shower lasting ~10 mins then the sun came out immediately after and began efficiently evaporating water since it was near solar noon (and causing a quick spike in evapotranspiration from vegetation). The ground is very saturated here (northern AL, USA) since we've had several days of afternoon and evening thunderstorms.
Notice the quick increase in dewpoint as temperature increases when the sun came out then the decrease as the moisture was mixed out with "drier" air in the boundary layer. I put drier in quotes because the dewpoint has been very high here the past few days... averaging ~70-75º dewpoints most afternoons. Also interesting is how high the apparent temperature and heat index is (mid-90s) even with a temperature only in the low 80s. Goes to show how dewpoint plays a significant role in how "comfortable" the air feels; in this case, very oppressive! :shock:

I was in D.C. two weeks ago and one day the dew was mid 70's, we were outside, I was miserable. I grew up in that stuff but haven't been in it in 17 years or so. Living in a dry climate such as mine for the last 28 years made it even more insulting.
-
The dewpoint (and even RH) has been so consistently high with all this rain that most shaded areas (like my driveway) don't even dry off completely before it rains again the next day :lol: Imagine getting out of a pool to dry off or trying to air dry clothes with dewpoints in the 70s.... it's nearly impossible :-)
High dewpoints basically normal here in the summer, but I LOVE dry heat. Had my first experience with that 2 summers ago in the Plains. It was ~105ºF with dewpoints in the 30s I believe... man that was nice. The last time I had felt a temp of ~105ºF, the dewpoint was in the 60s :shock:
Out of curiosity, what's the highest dewpoint you've recorded at your place in AZ?
-
Out of curiosity, what's the highest dewpoint you've recorded at your place in AZ?
During the monsoon, which is just now starting, ours dews will eventually get into the low/mid 60's and pretty much stay until we dry in latter Sept. With that, the highest I remember here was 74F. That's rarefied air for my neck of the woods.

Wow, I can imagine so. The average dewpoint at my place over the past 7 days is 73º... :-|
-
I should have also stated that when we do get into the 70's, it's always at night after the BL becomes seasonably wet and have had several good rains. Thank goodness we don't get those dews in the day. =;
-
Couple of weeks ago, pool water was getting low and it was almost as clear as tap water. I was thinking of adding some to it though.
This morning it's back to overflowing and has taken on some cloudiness due to 'stuff'. Don't ever let anyone tell you rainwater is clean and fresh.
-
It has been a quite enjoyable spring and summer in Minneapolis. Decent temps. First half of june above average-last half below. Warm days. Cool nights and ok with precipitation.
Yesterday and today are a humid mess. But it will end today.
Highest temp so far is 91. We will have a higher one later this year. But if this trend continues-chances are about 20% we will hit 95.
-
Last week was very nice here too, most of the time partly cloudy, with daily max around 25C (77F) and min at night around 12C (53F), maybe it could rain a bit to freshen up the air, but at least it is not too hot.
-
So much for our "dry heat", heat index now 110F.
-
Dewpoint barely missed the 80ºF mark today... only made it to 79.3ºF. Oh darn :lol:
-
I think this is supposed to feel better than it does.

It has been quite an average July here, without any heat extremes.
According to the "newer" 1981-2010 longterm averages, (the German Weather Service still uses the "old" 1961-1990 averages) this month would be currently one degree Celsius below average.
The hottest temperature so far was 27.2°C (81°F) but most days were actually hovering between 17 and 21°C (63-70°F).
-
Umm, it's July, right? Mid-July? So, why are they making a fuss over 4-5 days in the mid 90s with HI in the low 100 range? Isn't that like ..... uummm .... normal?
-

Yeah, it may venture to a 100 or so this week here for the first time this summer.
-

Despite it being climatologically normal, it hasn't been quite this warm yet this year so they need to make sure everyone freaks out for no reason :lol:
-
Well, by comparison the next few days definitely will not be comfortable, but I get out early, do what I have to, then come in by noon or so. I don't like that kind of heat at all, but as I said, this IS July. I just hope it doesn't extend beyond a few days. We've got about 8 weeks, maybe 10 before we can expect things to begin to cool off and I sure don't want high 90s for that long.
-
Last several days have been several degrees below normal for me, up to 10 F, but starting Thursday, Highs will be several above normal, with highs at least 95, and the weekend my touch 100. Before the cool down, Heat Index was 115F for a time during a couple of afternoons. The hottest day overall, there was no heat advisory... I think this time, there may be heat warnings issued. All we can hope for is the A/C making it thru the period, which will last at least 5 or 6 days.
-
Heat advisory out for much of the central part of the U. S. On Thursday in central Oklahoma, including my station as pictured, a number of places got to 100 for the first time this summer. Dew points are in the low to mid 70s. A temporary break in the heat at my location is forecast to come on Monday and Tuesday with a good chance of rain. If it rains enough then, it will keep the grass green and lawn mowers running.

My gauge read close to the same way complete with warning on Saturday.
On Sunday, I made a shopping trip to Oklahoma City, and later that afternoon drove back home through a few light showers. No lightning and thunder associated with them. So I wasn't surprised there was only .02" recorded in my rain gauge when I got home.
Elsewhere in Oklahoma, some of the storms turned quite windy and some drivers had close calls with a row of utility poles blowing down. One lady said as she was driving a line fell on her back window, knocking it, making her stop and then a pole fell in front of the car.
The cold front wasn't very strong temp wise, but at least it was strong enough to knock out the heat advisory.

Based on what I prefer, today was a very nice day. After several days with relatively high temperatures (though probably nowhere close to what some of you experience these days) it got significantly colder last night and today's high was only around 17C (62F), windy, with drizzle and occasional heavy rain during the whole day. Similar conditions are forecasted for the upcoming 2-3 days.
-
My attic is near 130F, while inside is running hard to keep 75ish. Heat index 109, wetbulb 79F It's still way more humid than it should normally be.
-
Another nice day today with temperature of 15C (59F), windy and drizzle :-) I am not being ironic, I wish the whole summer was like this

I got .14" of rain according to radar estimates while a half mile down the road, they got .64.

I can remember one July day like that in Oklahoma. It was unbelievable. But it was so long ago, it must have been at least 25-30 years ago.

Today, probably the best day of the week here, currently sunny and 19°C (66°F). Best day in terms of sun that is, i don't like too high temperatures either. :-)
So far the highest this month was 29.3°C (85°F) at my station and 27.5°C (82°F) officially, quite unusual that we didn't hit the 30s yet. Usually we can expect one or two days per month with highs in the low sometimes mid 30s (C). On the other hand i don't really mind, since my preferable summer temperature range is in the mid 20s (~75°F).
Rainfall has caught up the past weeks too currently standing at 99 mm (3.9 inches).
-
Some indications of a flip coming. Highs showing in the low 80s for early next week. CPC 14 day forecast shows 'below normal' chances increasing.
-
There was a big Slight Risk area for tomorrow that is now gone. Wonder if they'll put it back up later.
-
The heat dome will soon move to California and Oklahoma will benefit well from it. Hopefully, it comes with enough rain to prevent a drought from starting again.

Right now @8:05 PM
Partly cloudy and 21.5°C (71°F) at the moment. The max today was 22.6°C (73°F).
Very satisfied with the current temperatures, luckily the heat stays away from the North of Germany- the southern parts (especially Bavaria) had highs up to 36°C (97°F) yesterday and still up to 32°C (90°F) today.

Rain. Wind. High of 53 today. Happy August.
-
Warmest day of the year to date. Some places, not far from where I live, observed 38.5°C (101.3F, absolute max ever for the Czech Republic being 40.4C - 104.7F). At home 34C (93F) and at work 33.5 (92F).... fortunately it should hopefully get colder tomorrow.

Old low temperature record for this date was 55 in 1986. Current official temperature is 53.

Weird how things work. Last Saturday morning, July 29th, we set a record 'warm low' temperature record of 77.
24 degrees different on successive Saturday mornings.

73 degrees now in late afternoon and I think that's the highest it's been all day.

Warmest day so far this August with a high of 25.6°C (78°F) at my station and 24.7°C (76.5°F) officially, with plenty of sunshine.

After a cool start with a low of 9°C (48°F) at my station, (though it was still a little colder in the surroundings with lows of 5-7°C (41-45°F)) and shallow fog on the pastures,
we are currently @1:45 PM at 19°C with sunshine and almost no winds. Feels actually quite warm in the midday sun. Tomorrow even a summer day (tmax above 25°C/77°F) could be possible here with a forecasted maximum of 27°C (80°F). Well, we shall see. :-)

It's been a very weird summer. Few if any 100 degree days, several in the upper 90s. Had a few high low records, but also some low records and low high records. Very, very dry at my house. Less than a 1/10th" in the last 30 days. One decent rainfall just before that and several dry weeks before that; something like two inches total in two months. But very localized, neighbors a half mile down the road have had more rain than I have. Grass is brown mostly, so no mowing. Trees are dropping leaves. Yet the dew points are so high, I can't hardly breathe outside. 75 degrees on some mornings and I drip sweat just standing still, doing nothing at all. If I could just wring the moisture out of the air, the grass would be green and lush.

Been hot in the N.East this summer about the worst Ive experienced up here being born and raised in the south takes a good amount of humidity to get my attention .. Cold long spring but more then a few 100 plus f. deg days here and Ive actually broken a few sweats working in and around yrd .. Don't see any locals out after 90 here (: I'm about the only one outside moving around

Another very cool morning. No Record report posted yet, but it appears we tied 2009 for a record low of 54.

No global warming here. Must have been one of our coolest summers on record. No days in the 90's at all \:D/. That's very unusual. The highest temperature I recorded was 2 days at 88 degrees, one in June and one in July. Hey I'm not complaining as I hate hot weather. To me this has been a perfect summer, weather wise =D>. And we did not have the typical dry up in July and August where the rain just stops for a few months. My CoCoRaHS measurements has us a 7.19" above normal so far for 2017. Grass has remained lush and green all summer. I've gone through a lot of gas for the lawn mower, trimmer and blower. Extended forecasts for the first week of September has us only in the low 60's for highs. Fall may come early. Or at least it will feel like it.

Oklahoma has wettest August on record: It was a ridiculously wet August for Oklahoma with a few places picking up a foot or more. The state overall was the wettest on record with 6.19″ which is a surplus of 3.32″ above normal. (http://It was a ridiculously wet August for Oklahoma with a few places picking up a foot or more.

August ended up about 2.5 degrees below normal and very spotty in rainfall. Official was about 1.5 'dry', but some areas got 200% or so of their normal rainfall.
Despite the 'cool' temperatures, I felt many days were nearly unbearable due to Dewpoint. There were days I simply couldn't be outside since I almost couldn't breathe. So dry the grass wasn't growing, so no real need to be out there mowing or anything else.
