You didn’t say anything. People are talking about observed climate trends that have been going on for years now and you are making obvious statements about long term climate uncertainty as if that somehow negates reality.

Meaningless babble.

It’s been trending that way, a couple marine layer mornings at a random location in King County notwithstanding. The trend is especially apparent the further south you go. How you could argue anything otherwise is beyond me, but then I need to remind myself who I am responding to.

Everyone here needs to start popping OxyContin so we can get on Jim’s level.

D**n.

Hope everything is ok man.

That doesn’t sound very scientific to me...

Another 85+ day at PDX.

The only thing on earth actually worth panicking over are some low clouds on a three day weekend. That is the truly noble path. Someday we will learn.

For my fourth of July wish, I am going to pray to Uncle Sam, Thomas Jefferson, and Hulk Hogan that we get a VEI 6-7 eruption somewhere in the tropics the next 18 months.

I hope everyone is having a happy fourth, and manages to find a glimmer of joy for even a moment on this dying planet of ours.

You will always have Indiana

I’ve noticed the same thing Andrew. Just about the worse timing possible to maximize the damage of an all time record heatwave, coming off a record dry spring.
-
If you think back to even five years ago, it’s really incredible how much the region as a whole has changed. There will come a point where it doesn’t feel like home anymore.
-
Hard telling. I want to be optimistic too but the reality is sometimes these mass die offs happen. None of these temperate rainforest species are built for 115 degree temps.
-
It just sucks to have to look at so much death. Especially this time of year, when all the plants and trees are usually green and vibrant. The whole region honestly feels like it’s withering. I mean if you blur your eyes I’m sure you can still willfully ignore it for now, but anyone paying attention even a little can see how many native plants are wasting away.
-
What is really shocking is how widespread the problems are. Could be a pretty big step change in vegetation type in some areas. The hemlocks in particular have just been annihilated in spots, especially below 1,200’. At least down here, calling them a lowland species might not be very representative of their range anymore.
-
It’s pretty crazy. Things have already been struggling the last several years then last weeks event came along and just poured gasoline on the fire. Pretty sad to see.
-
82/60 day here. Morning clouds and afternoon sun. Nice day. Hoping the marine layer can sneak in again by morning.
-
Really gorgeous day here again. Mostly cloudy and 73/62. Even scored some morning drizzle, enough to settle the dust at least. I think all the local vegetation is appreciating having a couple day reprieve from blazing sunshine.

I'll take a stab for PDX 97/59 103/65 105/69 93/71 (HCS!?) 88/65

I'm sure they were counting their blessings. I mean, losing your home AND having to deal with low clouds?? -

It’s been going in one direction (hotter and hotter) for a really long time now, and probably will for the rest of our lives. I just can’t see the enjoyment in something so destructive and life destroying but each to their own I guess. -

Rain and fog are also part of the ecosystem. -

Why would you want things to get even warmer after all of the drought and fire issues your state has seen in recent years? Aqueducts running dry, people losing their homes and lives, millions of acres of trees dying in the Sierras. It’s like there’s four or five Mr. Marine layers posting over here now.
