ShawniganLake Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 FWIW... the 12Z GFS ensemble mean is less aggressive with the break down of the ridge next week compared to the operational run. Here is the 12Z GFS operational run for next Thursday: And here is the 12Z GFS ensemble mean map at the same time: Quite a bit of spread in the ensemble and the operational is one of the most aggressive with the trough. Long range seems to have 2 fairly distinct camps. One hot and one not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenochtitlan Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Whether the stats support it or not, this July has not really felt like summer. The overall cloudiness and lack of a distinct heatwave has not lead to a summer-y feel. It's actually been a frequent conversation among coworkers in each of the four businesses I work with.Yeah, especially after May/June being so warm, and the last several July's being exceptionally warm and sunny for the most part as well. This July feels more similar to a typical July in southern England than one here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, it's been cloudier than normal, with cooler highs than normal. Also undoubtedly, the unusual warmth/sunniness of the past 6 summers has created a greater contrast with this July so far. 3 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Timmy Supercell Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I guess the downside to having a cooler July is that every time we get 90+ here my house without AC will feel a lot hotter than in years where I would shrug this off. lol On that note I hope the hottest parts of this summer come with a bit of wet t'storm action.

TT-SEA Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 The whining over this summer has been pretty ridiculous.... Yeah... from your perspective in your area. Try to see it from other people's perspective like I have been doing. We have seen a cumulative total of about 3.5 days of sun here this month in 17 days. Say what you want about this microclimate... but this is not even close to normal for July here. And the last 2 weeks of June were cloudy as well. Its been seriously depressing in terms of persistence considering its the middle of summer. As if its perfectly normal for 90% of the days in the summer here to be cloudy and/or wet. Its not. Different perspectives.

Phil Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Given how anomalously hot/ridgy the last 6 summers have been, this “cloudy” July is just a tiny drop in the bucket.

Positive/negative, light/dark, yin/yang, the conservation of energy, every-action-has-an-equal-and-opposite-reaction, the cycle of life, etc. You guys might be paying for those 6 years of torching for quite awhile.
