Jesse Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 A heat wave ruined by smoke could be a first if it happens.Yes, I bet this is the first time in history we've ever seen late season heat and wildfires at the same time.

TT-SEA Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 A heat wave ruined by smoke could be a first if it happens.Happened in early August as well... and we were discussing at that time that is was probably much more common long ago in the 19th century and early 20th century when fires burned out of control for long periods of time. It was probably common for thousands of years before we arrived.

VancouverIslandSouth Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Warmest day so far this year here at just over 89F, nudging out Aug 2nd; however, some poorly timed high clouds could spoil the shot at a 90F+ day. Air quality is still good here, but looking worse and worse to the south. Everything looks pretty parched, Rhododendrons do not like the heat. YYJ is still flirting with a monthly record with maybe another hour or so of potential heating if we lose the clouds. http://i.imgur.com/fi8QL4R.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I was over in Liberty WA yesterday and it was pretty awful there. Probably the driest I have ever seen it with thick dust settled over everything along with smoke, falling ash, withered vegetation, and a hellish looking red sky. The dust on the roads was so bad you had to wait for about a minute to exit the car to not become overwhelmed by a cloud of dust. No question extremes beget extremes. Lets hope this winter gives us the extremes we want.This is the time of year that you actively delude yourself into thinking everything is a good sign I see. Maybe our climate is just getting hotter.

Probably wouldn't make a difference here, we got rain shadowed most of the spring so things didn't develop a healthy base like they did in non-shadowed areas. People around here have just given up, there's not a single green lawn on the street. Hopefully the fall will provide more generous rainfall.

The interesting thing is our summers used to be very dry compared to what we have come to think of as normal. In the first quarter of the 20th century Seattle's normal precip was about half of recent in July and Aug. Of course that was with cooler temps also. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Kayla Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Well if anyone was questioning if smoke suppresses high temperatures, they only need to look to today at PDX. Only 89º at the 3:53pm reading with 850mb temps at 26-27C. 4,300ft overcast layer being reported which is of course the very thick low level smoke layer. Today also proved that low level smoke effects high temps even greater than more ground based (less than 2,000ft AGL) smoke.
