Misc Sizzling Shenanigans: warm season whamby

I don't see how we could do it. Most of our true big heatwaves are advected in and not insitu and I can't formulate a pattern that would stick for that amount of time to produce all time record highs for a week plus. That said with the rdu sensor being so hot vs surroundings the all time record is in jeopardy, it's not going to be long before rdu pops off with some crazy 106-110 number while the rest of us are in the 100-105 range

Yes, UHI is real. Car thermometer read 110 yesterday in the parking lot at work. Arrived to my tree covered suburb to a temp of 93. Road was consistently 105-108 almost all the way there. Once on two lane, tree covered county roads and it was down to 100. We need to get the official sensors out of the urban areas.

I don't think this is getting the attention it deserves. I think most folks that have an official station in a uhi area realize lows on radiational cooling nights below the official low. I get that these sensors are representative of the uhi microclimate but I don't think the are for a whole region of a state

This is just a run-of-the-mill eighty's type hot and dry summer. It's really not that uncommon, historically. It's just been awhile since we've had one. Most recent summers have been above average in rainfall and lower temps.

.18 unless you count when the sprinklers hit the Tempest

That is crazy, but I went through the same thing over here in 1993. We had a grand total of .30 From June1 through August 30. We had storms all around us that summer, but could not even get one of them to hit this area until mid-September.
