Cascadia_Wx Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 It’s pretty crazy we are going to see another hot summer this year. I really though this one would at least be 1991-2020 average, with the “late” (historically normal) start, wet June and very Niña esque April-Jun. Seems like ENSO forcing hasn’t been quite right for a few years now though. Similar type of thing with Feb/March 2019. 2 1 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Jones Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 6 minutes ago, Cascadia_Wx said: I was kind of thinking the same thing. Despite all the heat the last decade of summers, July ‘09 still holds the record for consecutive 90+ days at PDX, with ten. And the record for consecutive 100+ was all the way back in 1941. Really hoping we don't match that one. I'm hoping the cool and wet spring will help the vegetation, though if mega heatwaves start to become a near annual occurrence it could get ugly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlTahoe Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 1 hour ago, BLI snowman said: Right, so I'm not sure that some decadal cold in the NW part of the region last winter is as much of a balancing act as your post seemed to imply. The extremes are, have been, and will continue to be overwhelmingly on one side of the spectrum. It is what it is. And with that, the goalposts will continue to move and our sense of what even constitutes "extreme" will continue to be skewed ever upwards. Saw a Tweet last week that a city in Australia had set a new all time low temperature record. It was the only all time cold record in the world for this year, to go along with 140 (before the European heatwave) all time record High temps. So 140 to 1 currently for all time Heat versus all time cold this year. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatyorologist Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 If there's any solace, it's that the ICON and CMC both show weak troughing overcutting and inhibiting height rises over the PNW. Still highs in the 80s but nowhere near June 2021 levels. The fact that is even an analog in conversation is just so disheartening. Barely over a year.
