July 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Jesse]

Feeling a 9pm high of 81 at PDX today.

[Geos]

Up to 66, but still cloudy - clouds just not as dark.

Still below average!

I spent Sunday evening at the old Nelson home taking pictures.  Little did I know what would happen.  :/ was a favorite spot of mine and many others.

That's pretty crazy. Glad you didn't get barbecued.

Looks like PDX only got to 72 for a -10 high departure today. Models had PDX in the upper 70s. I'm very surprised by this especially since everybody has been saying the heat has been exaggerated because of the UHI. This just shows you PDX can still get negative anomalies even in the heart of summer, the pattern just has to be right. High temperatures should be close to 30 degrees warmer in about a week.

Peaked at 71F here today, clouds held on for quite a bit of the day. Very pleasant weather, nice and comfortable. It is nice to get a break before hell returns to the PNW next week.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Gorgeous day at the Lane County Fair. Perfect weather.

[Jesse]

GFS ensembles seem convinced that the heat event next week won’t be as extreme or as long as the operational runs suggest. May just be a matter of time before they jump on board though.

PDX would have seen a 69/57 day today sans UHI.

Let's hope today and tomorrow don't ruin a perfectly nice monthly record.

In the Canadian you should trust.

Today had a defanate 2010 feel to it.

Mid January blowtorch following a major model bust incoming?

Maybe if you're a good boy and ask Santa real nice like.

Impressive shots! Probably kind of weird your shots are the end of the line for that place....wow!

[ShawniganLake]

74/54 here today. Pretty much average for this date.

[TT-SEA]

SEA was -4 on the day.

 

OLM was -6.

Was a chilly day.

It was chilly.

 

There has only been one day in the last 3 months this far below normal at SEA... that was also a -4 on 6/10.  

[Deweydog]

Today cost us .10 of an inch of rain in Soggust.

[Deweydog]

Midnight low madness!!!

[Phil]

It’s amazing outside here in Everett. The air feels so much lighter and cleaner, like a mid-October evening back home.

 

And it’s dead quiet. No crickets, cicadas, or katydids. I could definitely get used to this.

[Phil]

My first evening here and it’s already colder than anything I’ve seen in months. We’re definitely sleeping with the windows open tonight.

[Tyler Mode]

Low of 49.6 today.  I can deal with 80.  Not looking forward to the heat again.  Although having central air now does tame how much it affects me. 

 

With the projected highs for the next week, this July is running just about 0.5 degrees hotter than my hottest.  2.5 degrees above the warmest average high. Sigh.

[Blizzard777]

56* and morning clouds.

Sent the rain gauge on vacation

[MossMan]

Chilly morning but the sun is making an appearance now!

Currently 55.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Beautiful sunny morning in the south Willamette Valley. 62F.

[jcmcgaffey]

Raining here in north Seattle and not just mist but a solid rain! Nothing showing on the radar which is odd.

That is strange.  

 

Radar is empty... and clouds look pretty thin on satellite.

 

That sort of thing happens here all the time... but not too often in Seattle.

Wow. You may have been one of the last people to photograph it before it burned.

PDX would have seen a 69/57 day today sans UHI.

I doubt it. The EURO almost always has been too cold with the highs since April for PDX. It was way off yesterday. The UHI exist but it's been overblown and yesterday it had no effect on the highs IMHO.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

It was a beautiful evening yesterday in Bend. Highs have been in the low 90s while I have been here. However, the evenings have been very pleasant as the temperature drops quickly and there has been a nice breeze. We had a BBQ at one of the parks in town for the conference I am attending. We decided to do the two mile walk from the hotel along the river to the park. 

 

[Frontal Snowsquall]

The 00z EURO run last might makes me excited for winter already. Tremendous amplification of the ridge up into Alaska sending very cold anomalies into Southern Canada. This is a winter type pattern so for us to see it this early is a good sign for what's coming later this year. We just need the ridge to amplify more west and we will have a very cold and snowy winter here in the PNW.

You’re wrong about that.

 

Come winter you'll be pounding the UHI drum to explain why it isn’t living up to 1968/69’s standards.

[TT-SEA]

Lovely day on tap... sun is breaking out and its going to be in the 70s by afternoon.

 

[Frontal Snowsquall]

If there was an UHI yesterday would have been warmer, forecast high was in the upper 70s.

 

Once again you are lying and twisting people's words. I never said it would be as cold and snowy as 1968-69. Just the coldest and snowiest since that winter. Big difference.

Not how it works.

Huge difference. Okay.

[Geos]

Was cloudy up until 10 am. Now have some sun coming out. Low of 54 felt great this morning.
