Pattern June 2024

[BullCityWx]

Used to get summer storms at least once a week in the 80s.

There was a severe drought for literally a third of that decade.

You forgot that it used to (insert weather here) more or less than it does today no questions asked

 

[Shaggy]

Only a difference of about 4 inches of rain for me between the gfs and cmc

Not bad for mid-day June in the Deep South!

Yeah June with Mid-80s, humidity in the 30s. It feels great! One of the better June's I remember so far.

I feel like I'm living on a different planet than the RDU area. It's pouring rain every few days here.

Looking good boys. We need to dry out after the .3 over the last 2 weeks

1980, 1981, 1986, 1987, and 1988 were fairly dry. 1982, 1984, and 1989 were wet to very wet. The stretch from late 1985 to early 1989 was dry and if that had lasted much longer some very serious things were ready to happen. Thankfully things turned around bigtime in March 1989.

I am a little shocked that there is not more abnormal dryness on the drought map in the eastern Carolinas. On the other hand, my area could probably use a week or 2 of dry weather.

Well you’re is failing you because the 80s were very dry summers in the Carolinas capped off by that extremely hot and dry summer of 1988

 

[Shaggy]

Gfs longer range so it's wrong but this would be a brutal cutoff

Drought monitor is a scam

Looks perfect. I'm ready for 100s

1988 could have been much worse here though, but the heart of that drought stayed to our west and north. 1986 would have been much worse than it was too if things had not changed in August of that year. We were headed for real trouble I think in 1989, but thankfully things changed in March that year. We had already started having rolling blackouts here and if the rains had not come that summer would have saw more of them for many more of us. The 1986-88 stretch was rough for the southeast but could have been much worse.

Thankfully I'm in a good Seabreeze zone now and the heat won't be so bad once that passes

Folks griping bout the heat already , it hasn’t even got hot yet …. Lol. You would think living in the south would be used to this by now ….

Seabreeze makes a huge difference.
