Don't worry October will have the 90s covered
Not much flooding around here yet. Ill take the rain while we can get it, higher temps and lower precip chances will be here soon enough
It isn't helping. Weak remnant sfc low from the cutoff last week sliding south near the obx, new fresh sfc high off of the NE coast means we get stuck in a NE flow. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we do something similar a couple more times
You need to spend one summer in Columbia SC. Just one. I guarantee you'll get enough summer to last you a lifetime. You'll be glad to get back to RDU.
I hate that place all bc of how hot and humid. It's a dif level.
Columbia sc is not that drastically different from here in summer apart from early and late summer where it is a solid 3-5 warmer . At least thats what the averages show .
You may want to check the amount of 100 degree plus days compared to other places
Using 1991-2020, although technically 2020 isnt finished , its 2 vs 6. Pretty noticeable difference . 21 in 2016 for Columbia lol. Think our best was 12 during the late 90s.
The thing with Miami is it rarely gets above 90 degrees. So the heat index is likely still below 100. Columbia frequently hits 100+ with a mid 70s dewpoint. Heat index 110+. Only Augusta GA can rival CAE in the summer in the SE.
Its the sandhills for you, parts of wake county fall under the sand hills. Fayetteville , Columbia , Lumberton, Augusta are all characterized by the same sandy soil with big diurnal ranges and heat potential. Augusta georgia has crazy huge diurnal ranges , the average lows year round in Augusta are identical to Raleigh almost depsite average highs being a solid 6-7 degree warmer in the colder season , 2-3 warmer rest of year.
