Doinko Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 7 minutes ago, Phil said: But at least it’s 90s with lows in the 50s/60s, instead of 100s. I could deal with that, begrudgingly. Would prefer much cooler but at least it won’t be dangerous. Portland could have some highs ~100 and lows around 70 it seems.

Knowing solar radiation is getting weaker each day and winter is approaching helps keep get me through this disgusting time of year. And shorter days do offer more time for radiational cooling at night. Though out here that is (more than) cancelled out by increasing humidity. So it’s 100% psychological for me, lol. I go through the same mental gymnastics with the days getting longer in the spring even though the weather often mimics winter. It was snowing here for a week in April... but at least the days were getting longer through that miserable period. 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of these ULLs seems to generate enough lift over there to produce convection.

Phil Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 14 minutes ago, Kayla said: For PDX, near 100 degrees for multiple days in a row with lows only dropping to ~70 can still be dangerous for folks. Majority of people in the PNW lowlands still do not have A/C. I think most people in Portland do have AC. In Everett where my extended family lives it’s true most homes are without AC. I was scared before staying there during my 1st trip, since I *cannot* sleep in a warm house, but was impressed with how quickly it cooled after sundown, even on warm days. It’s just a different universe.

For more "normal" summer weather we run it during the day (my wife and I both work from home) then once it cools below 70 in the evening we shut down the A/C and open the windows. I've found that the house gets really stuffy when we leave the A/C on/windows closed on most evenings. 5 Quote Britton Rd Bellingham Weather Station: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KWABELLI103?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree there will be a relaxation at some point in August, and like you said it will probably be similar to last year. Even though last August was certainly tolerable after the 15th, it was by no means a standout in historic terms. Which seemed almost astounding when you consider how anomalously ridgy the first half of last summer was. We never really did see any strong atmospheric counter-response to that, we just got a pleasant and milquetoast relatively mild period after two months of historic ridging. Kind of sad if you compare that to something like August 1977, when we could still see legitimately dynamic summer 500mb responses following a historic stretch of ridging. Just doesn't feel possible these days. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
