Pattern June Bugs

The constant heat and humidity for months with very few breaks is what drives me nuts. I like some variety in the weather and summer is just so incredibly boring in the south except on days where you get a thunderstorm.
even in Indiana huh? The second coldest May I ever experienced was in Toledo Oh, both from temps and a scorned woman, the first was in London England. Stayed in the 30s and 40s for most of the 3 weeks I was there. The coldest June, probably San Francisco.
 
Haven't mowed in 2 weeks now. This micro climate drought is turning nasty in mby.Go up to the airport and its green, where they've cashed in on thunderstorms that would occasionally come around last month or two.
There is a developing dry corridor running across the state from just north of charlotte to around goldsboro(see below). Those totals wont cut it when we are constantly between 90-98. Your area has some sneaky chances tomorrow. I like the setup for Wednesday and Thursday with the upper low but we have found any way possible to blow rain chances this summer so its hard to be too optimistic.

Yep, 40 miles straight down. The only other station I can compare with is around 2 miles, and they had 6 90+, but only 8 inches of rain, to my 13. and counting, it's pouring now. I'll finish off June with nearly 14 inches if this keeps up. Plus they are in an open field, and I'm am covered up in trees. My guess is the trees hold in the moisture, and bounce the steam back so at least some stays in the ground. And evaporative cooling keeps me nice under the forest canopy. The only other time it was cool like this in dead summer, was after Alberto dropped all that rain. I don't remember a 90 past early July, though there certainly could have been as I wasn't paying but noticing attention. And I suspect the mosquitoes didn't like me mowing down a few acres of ivy under trees last late winter. It's probably not the epoxyclipse, but it is a curiousity :) All this rain and very few mosquitoes, and no 90's. Even I find it beyond interesting, and I've seen some weather stuff, lol.
Edit: Ok, so that gave me .65 assuming no more before midnight, so I'm13.63 from May 15. I'm going to go with a lot of rain helps keep it cool as long as you are under a canopy.

I believe your numerous moles have everything to do with this microclimate. It is well-known that your place has a very high concentration of moles. I think they’re causing abnormally high levels of absorption of heat energy by the ground due to the numerous mole-hills that dominate your landscape. This high level of heat absorption thus decreases the amount of heat that is normally reflected back to above the ground, where temperatures are taken. Result: cooler air temperatures just above the ground.

At least yall get thunderstorms, definitely the biggest loss in the summer out here, the heat doesn't bother me that much if there was something to look forward to but it just drags on usually

you'll get 'em eventually.. how many years have you lived in Texas? Some of my biggest summer thunderstorm memories are from growing up in Houston and Austin. No city flash floods quite like Houston town...

By the way, 13” of rain in any month would be a top ten rainy month at KATL going back to 1879! Surely, that along with the moles has a lot to do with your lack of 90s.

This is my 4th summer. Actually so far all the summers haven't been too hot for Dallas(relatively speaking), but some year that's gonna change...

I'm not sure I'll ever truly get used to it... lol
 
Not to say houston, austin and Dallas have very similar climates... Austin is closer to Dallas for sure, but still different. I remember whinging as a teen when Waco got snow or sleet,and we only got cold rain in North Austin.
 
85.1 and 85.2 at 3pm. and it's clouding up. I think I'm going to escape June with no 90's. Just a few more hours to get past. Wonder how far into July I can make it. If I'm going to get into the 100's it's usually the 4th of July weekend when it happens....but I've got to get to 90 first :) Wow, just wow.
How have you not hit 90? I live on the south side as well and have hit it multiple times including today.
 
Bye Bye June... I guess you could have been worse. The excessive heat threats kinda damped out in the end. Gfs overstating things all atmospheric yet again. The all american gfs all bluff and charge, but euro fighter more technical and savvy picking apart your silly bluster and foolhardy speculation.
 
dsaur's station sure seems like an anomaly.. is it your own weather station at home? Columbus, Macon, Lagrange, all around his area those stations have reported numerous 90 or better temps.. so it's not weird to doubt the backyard obs....
Yeah, this is just my yard. The UGa. Ag Experiment station is a little over 2 1/2 miles away, and they had 6 90's and a good bit less rain, and as I said they are in a maybe 30 acre field, where I'm in a forest, oak, and some pines though I've cut down most pines around the remotes. The remotes are all with in about an acre, and all under trees. Sure it's just a back yard with non pro stations, but the readings have been consistent over 4 remotes on two different base stations, never more that a 2 degree difference over the course of a day. The readings I've been giving are all from one remote, but at least one other has followed in lock step, varying only by a few tenths, where one of the others might vary a degree. Given that I had two 89 degree days, you could argue that I might have hit ninety, but I chose the remote that was leaning higher, rather than lower to go with. I think my near 14 inches of rain over 45 days compared to the Experiment stations near 8 inches is what is making the difference, along with my trees vs an open field environment. But only 6 90 degree days is still lower than reports from cities all around, and that's an automated professional weather station over there, so I'm at least in the ball park using my Lacross stations. And I surmise the Exp station's 8 inches is more rain than some of the cities that have had more 90's.

Larry, I'm talking since May15, or 45 days. And everybody knows it doesn't count unless it's at the airport, so it's just a curiosity, nothing more, lol, but I'm living it, and I can tell you 80's in June is always better...you can feel it, lol. It's only 77.9 and 77.5 on the two remotes feeding the base where I am at the moment. I'll take that for a July day, any time.

Tony,
Don't knock or question it ... you're living a real life sunshine daydream ... :p
 
I guess it's time to ditch this thread and move it all to the July fries thread since it's O-Fish_Oily (officially) July.

Tony,
13” over 45 days is still a rarity/impressive as you know. I just saw Peachtree City’s records since 5/15 and they’ve had 10.4”, which isn’t too far off your 13”. But their hottest to date is 94 and they had a whopping 21 days in June of 90-94.

Yeah, it's amazing how much difference can take place over a short distance. All depends on where the train track sets up. I have not missed too many big rain dumpers in my yard. And a lot of years I missed them all, especially in winter since 2000 I've missed nearly all the sn/ip dumpers. Still, if this cool summer is my pay back, I'll take it in my old age. 79 at 1pm on July 2nd? Who wouldn't take that, lol? 6 ninety days at the Exp station compared to 21 90s 15 miles away. Apparently the rain corridor is running right thu here. Thought that can't be the only factor if Ptree City has nearly as much rain, and a lot more 90 days.

Meanwhile, to add to my store of lore, lol, I am now a witcher. I couldn't find my leaking water line no matter how many holes I dug, so I made some dowsing rods and went to dowsing. Came right down on the pipe, 4 feet off where where I was digging. Now that's way, way, way cool!! I'm going to dowse for gold next. I know the woodland tribes must have buried all their gold around here some where. The Spanish were sure they had some :)
