Timmy Supercell Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 We should also make a thread on what the longest stretches of 90 degree days (consecutive) are in each city. Maybe also include east side cities, Pendleton/Bend/Klamath Falls/Spokane/Yakima. In 2021 I had a stretch of 22 days in a row over 90 at KLMT from 6/24 to 7/15. That wasn't a record for them, but that was personally the longest I have ever experienced. I compare longest stretches to other years I lived there and can't believe how only two of those years barely reach 10. Though a few other waves were close calls (count being stopped by only 1 or 2 80's). I think 2017 would have had longer than 8 days in a row if not for the favorable environment for wet thunderstorms middle of that summer. It's not a coincidence IMO that 2021 sucked for convection and also had the most miserable heat out of the bunch. 2021: 22 2020: 8 2019: 3 2018: 9 2017: 8 2016: 10 2015: 6 2014: 10 2013: 6 2012: 7 2011: 2 July 2014 would be 19 days in a row if not for a single day only reaching 81 on 7/11. 2 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 39 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, 3/30, 3/31, 4/2, 4/3, 4/8, 5/4, 5/5, 5/6, 5/7 5/8, 5/15, 5/21, 5/22, 5/26, 5/27, 6/4, 6/5, 6/6, 6/17 6/18, 6/23, 6/25, 6/29, 7/3, 7/4, 7/5, 7/14, 7/16, Severe storms: 3 Max High: 96 (feels like 107 on June 17) ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured last summer had to be at least close to the top. Funny that I had nothing between 38 (2017) and 53 days.
