Pattern Arid August

It is here too I didn't want to say anything bc the usual suspects would be out with pitchforks and torches. Thing is it can rain as much as your can get for a period of time but that water is moving up and out or down and out of the root zone so if you are dry for 3 straight weeks after whatever rain over a period of time you got whatever amount of rain that upper layer where most root zones are runs out.

Looks like its just on that island surrounded by 90+ degree water.

There are many more very hot and humid readings there, but that one sure does stand out. I'm guessing that dewpoint may be off by a few degrees, but that would still be crazy.

101 at RDU today. 🔥

Only 95 at GSO.

98 at FAY.

97 at PGV.

99 at CLT.

RDU the hottest station in the state as usual in 2024. Things don’t work like they used to.

A good rule of thumb during a heatwave is to take the high at RDU and subtract five degrees to get the actual air temperature during dry periods.

To be fair, I was driving around Wake Forest late this afternoon and my car (outside)thermometer was reading 102. Man it was freaking hot today.

My 13 year old had his first middle school football game of the season this afternoon and the 5:00 start was absolutely miserable.
 
The rain in the Sahara is very abnormal - like it has never happened in recorded history is some parts - abnormal. I haven't found anyone with an explanation, either. Obviously the ITCZ has shifted north, but why? The earth's obliquity is about 23.4 degrees, half way between the range of 22.1 and 24.5. Could something be pulling our globe toward the 22.1 way faster than anticipated? That would increase the sun angle and move the ITCZ north.
