Pattern June’s Drought Dialogues

Coming into 1 PM...

95/101 HI

Thought the airport that's closer to my work also reported, but I suppose not anymore as I didn't see that it did when I looked.

Edit: nvm, it does, just couldn't find it on wunderground for some reason.
 
Some filtered sun has helped us today. Most surrounding reporting stations are running a few degrees warmer than ILM but my car shows what those surrounding sites show. Odd we get this hot with a NE wind here. Usually it's those furnace blasting westerlies that heat us up.Screenshot_20250624_121155_Chrome.jpg

What is your UV index?
 
The definition of suck. Ive chosen to live here, but I hate August feels in June. High humidity and no chance of storms .

Same down here working in Charleston county today. Less than a mile from the beach and it’s registering 96. Breeze off the water feels hot. Very odd.

PWS CURRENT CONDITIONS​

 
Looks like Atlanta only got to 94-95 today so not anything insane. I'm more interested in the storms tomorrow evening with extreme instability out there
 
Which did better today for highs, GFS or Euro?

6Z GFS/Euro highs today for:

RDU: 103/99 vs actual of 100; Euro wins

GSO: 101/100 vs actual of 95; both were terrible though Euro less terrible

FAY: 99/99 vs actual of 98; both did well

ATL: 102/98 vs actual of 95; Euro did better than the awful GFS but still was 3 too hot

Euro also did better yesterday at GSO and FAY

So for these 2 days overall, Euro did significantly better than GFS, which tended to be at least several degrees too hot.
 
I only maxed out today at 96 down here in South Central Georgia, this “heat wave” was laughable in Georgia for all the incessant hype that was built up pertaining to the event. I saw a remarkable fact that transpired earlier this week, Albany, GA incurred its warmest day of the year yesterday at 96 degrees. It is insane that such a reading occurred so late in the summer and a far departure from Junes of recent memory.

For the second day in a row, RDU’s high was 100.

One thing never fails in my entire meteorological career: I suck at predicting RDU high temps. In college, I finished in first place during my junior year (before taking synoptic meteorology) in the WxChallenge. In my senior year, I competed in a class challenge and again finished first for away sites but finished second in the RDU-only competition. I have never been good at predicting temps for this sensor dating back 15+ years now.

FYI - even back then, I was using 850 mb temperatures (along with some sounding analysis) to get the edge on high temp forecasts. I once went 8 days at Brownsville TX and missed the high by a total of 0F for the entire 8-day period. But RDU, I am clueless.

It’s cooled off into a sort of pleasant evening. Bizarrely the dew point dropped after the seabreeze moved through and the debris clouds to our west cut out the hot sun.

People do not take lightning seriously. Or any severe weather for that matter.

My grandfather did who lived in Wilson County, North Carolina. He had the most lighting rods I have ever seen on any house. I was doing some genealogy work on my family tree and found the reason why. His grandfather was hit by a bolt of lightning on July 4th 1900 while he was sitting in a chair in his house. The bolt burned a hole through the roof and ceiling of his house according to the newspaper article I read and knocked him out of his chair unconscious.

Standard precaution for lightning strikes near bodies of water be it the ocean, a lake, a pool, a puddle or whatever is GTFO of the water. 18 people FA'd and FO.. smdh

From what I was reading, it was a pop up shower and it still looked sunny. They probably heard thunder and chose to stay in the water.

Which...while lightning scares me, there has been one time where I chose to foolishly swim during a thunderstorm anyway ha (I won't do it now, granted I've usually stayed indoors for the pool in the past few years). The story that sticks for us is one where there was a lightning strike next to the house that fried everything electrical in the room I hang out in. Led to a late 80's TV being dug out that worked perfectly with an adapter until I chose to move on to a smart TV.

Lightning is far scarier than a tornado to me. If you see the flash, it's too late.

Is late June considered late in the summer ?
