Cooling ??

[Harrison]

July has been a much cooler month than normal, for Bexar, Co. at least. Normally most days are 100 or higher and high 70s or low 80s nightly low. So far I doubt if we have had more than a hand full of days when it hit 100 or slightly more. Nightly lows in the mid to high 70s. Right now late afternoon it is down to 88 and expected to be mid to low 70s tonight. Also, we have had more rain than we normally get in mid-summer. I guess it is because we are in an El Nino weather pattern. We have not seen one of those in quite awhile, but no complaints here that the weather is cooler.

Up here it's been warmer than normal and dry. Who knows?

High 90s here add humidity and its over 100. Then the feeble attempts for a monsoon season, lol.

Don't worry, your heat has been working hard here in Vegas. Hottest June on record, heading for the hottest July on record, we smashed the record for sequential days over 110°F and 115°F, and by later this week we are likely to have equaled the record total number of days over 110°F in a year at 29. Now we are into 111°F with dew points getting into the low 50s, so the heat index is still nasty.

The other thing is that the lows have been around 90°F for about two weeks, so the structure of the house is pretty heat soaked. The re-insulation job I had done just before COVID has been earning its keep. With the increased rates thanks to the Ukraine war, I'll soon have that more than paid for.

As a HVAC contractor I am a weather nerd, and I live in central Florida. We are normal this year. although my customers say every year it wasn't this hot last year. Yes it was. May /June is our busiest two months. After that the daily afternoon rain showers kick n to drop the temp so July and August are busy, it is not like May and June with no rain to cool it down.

I live in the Ohio Valley where there are 18 seasons and meteorologists throw chicken bones and read tea leaves.

I believe we have the same weatherman here in PGH. If you want to know the temperature, go outside. Ya want to know if it's raining, hold your hand out.

Daily weather forecast:

High mid to upper 90's
Humidity mid to upper 90%'s
Storms possible.

Just pencil that in until mid October. TV could record that, put it on a loop. Joe

This has been the craziest summer since 2001 when I moved to Florida. Since mid April I bet I've not had a inch of rain. Last Saturday was the first substantial rain I've had.

There will be rain in great multitudes all around me, but not at my house. I was 4 miles away the other day, and it was raining most hard. Got back home and it was bone dry.

Must be some kinda vortex hanging over my house this year.

I'll think about riding my bike in the evening when it cools down, but they'll be rain everywhere but here. Wouldn't be much fun riding around my subdivision.

I know what you mean. It's usually around 100 here if not higher. Today's high was 76. Tomorrow's forecast high is 86. And it rained last night and today. The last couple of years, though, July has been cooler than June here. That's something I don't remember happening before. Must be "climate change?"

We're not exactly desert, but right on the edge of it averaging 12-13 inches of rain annually. Most of it comes in April and either late August or September.

The weather, it changes.

Oklahoma city is a little milder right now than normal, we've had highs in the 80s which is pretty rare and the mornings have been wonderful in the mid 60s. Usually everything is yellow in the summer time since we don't get much rain but the last several years everything has stayed pretty green all summer. We've had plenty of rain this year and the lakes are overflowing and I haven't had to turn on my lawn irrigation system much at all.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Some years it is hot and dry, other years it is hot and wet. We are in a hot and wet year now. Some years we have a hurricane, most years we don't but every now and then we have two. It usually gets cooler at night-I think it is because the sun goes away-but it always comes back.

 

[Murphy's Law]

Come to Florida where I'll add some "humidity" for you! You'll soon be happy with your WX in CO.

Here in Western NY everyone is a weather geek. We have 4 very different seasons. I'd prefer we only have 3. We are greatly impacted by the Great Lakes. It's funny because everyone here talks about how great our summers are. It's really not. It's pretty normal. The problem is it's gray and depressing from Thanksgiving till Memorial Day. Any sunshine feels like the best ever.

Central Missouri has had some hot days but the spring rains have not stopped yet. Have had flood warning several times in the last 4 weeks. At least the corn crop looks great as I drive down the road. Wettest July I can remember.

 

[pasound]

I live on the SE side of the Ohio Valley. I agree on the 18 seasons. Sometimes there are 24...

Reno, Sat. 7/27;

Am in the 60's and high of 88 for the last few days that has made it nice outside but
it is said to pop back up to 99* by this coming Thursday.

I can't wait for "Hot August nights" and the weather that shows up,
it could be very interresting, with the July 108 degrees that we have had !!

Harrison, I think all the rain has kept things cooler.
