What's MFR looking at for Aug 2022? It's been a little harder for LMT to have a top 3, but Medford I know has broken the record at least once there recently.

August 2022 is their hottest August on record and third hottest month on record

Only if you get no snow this winter. 

If Mossman gets no snow, nobody else in the lowlands gets snow.

Crazy run for that city. All 3 summer months have been dishing out hot ones there. 

[TacomaWx]

Looks like we finished this month at 68.7 degrees +3.3. +0.7 over the previous record warm august and our 2nd warmest month on record.

Red sunset tonight.  Also looks like you can see the marine layer clouds trying to climb over the willipa hills.

These can cause a lot of lightning and start fast moving blazes in eastern Oregon. 

[TacomaWx]

Down to 67…this mornings low of 63 could be in jeopardy.

On the backside of that ridge, storm motion would likely be S/SE to N/NW

Rewriting our climate, one year at a time. Will only get worse faster with time.

Like an atmospheric suckerpunch!

Random thought: What We Do in the Shadows is such a funny show. Highly recommend.

Looking forward to winter!

Don't worry.. and next year it will be 3 in a row for the first time ever again! 

We are indeed rewriting our summer record book 1 month at a time.. 1 summer at a time. 

[MossMan]

Cooler this evening. Down to 63 already. 

[Phil]

00z!!

[Meatyorologist]

Yeah the 00z would end Summer on the 7th, a week from now.

86/62 on the day. 
Currently 77. 
Please give me 3 more weeks of this weather!! 

Sorry Moss, it's a no for me. It was  still in the mid 80's twenty minutes ago though the sun set hours earlier. But seriously you're one of my favorite posters.

All in all it has been a spectacular summer for wildfires and especially the smoke. I know we’re heading into September tomorrow and we’re not completely out of the “woods” just yet but it’s looking fairly benign going forward. I’ll chalk it up as a win for this summer. Overall I give it a B-. It would’ve been an A if we had maybe some more thunderstorms and the heat over here wasn’t so oppressive. 

Just a bit north and you'd see a decent amount. Seems like we had a fair amount of ts this summer from Pendleton and NE to about Colfax or Pullman.

My son has his first day tomorrow. Every other class started on Tuesday but they had each kid do a state kinder test over the last two days.  I thought it was appropriate to have the first day fall on the start of meteorological Fall.

BEAUTIFUL 00Z RUN... Buh bye summer it says.

My son had a test run day before officially starting after Labor Day last year, it is nicer that schools up here start later.

[ChrisAmunRA]

Happy First Day of Meteorological Fall!!!

August 2022 is headed for the dustbin of history. Time for a September thread.

I'm not so sure about summer.  As I've mentioned before there are places on the globe where summer has actually been cooler this century.  The NW shows about the largest increase of anywhere.  Much more to it than meets the eye.  It's partially a temperature distribution issue.

I was already expecting that in the middle of writing the word "beautiful"

Wrong month.

[snow_wizard]

Looks like SEA is running 15 lower than PDX right now.  We lucked out for the first day of September.  I'm really surprised the marine layer didn't have more punch down south.

[Deweydog]

This August just won’t end!!!
