June 2020 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[BLI snowman]

51 and raining moderately, 0.40" on the day so far. Summertime!!

[Blizzard777]

Yes, New Orleans is humid, but I doubt you want to challenge Phil here. I'm way too lazy to look for the stats, but I bet DC wins. Places like Iowa, Nebraska, and probably even Minnesota probably have higher DP records than N.O. I'm talking all time highs, not avg highs.

Had a beer outside in Corpus Christi Tx. Once.  It sweated another beer...I kid you not! 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Wet morning!

[Deweydog]

Drowt.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

The ENSO forecasts are very encouraging. 

[TT-SEA]

Lots of rain on Saturday now per the 12Z GFS... the timing keeps speeding up.  

[Jesse]

Have picked up .25” so far since midnight. Currently 52 degrees with drizzle.

1999-00 repeat.

1999-00 repeat.

Decent summer at least.

[MossMan]

Yay!!

Yeah... the 4th rainy weekend in a row.

At least she’s mixing things up a little by adding in a lot of rain during the work week too!

[Blizzard777]

55* 

Mostly cloudy with a few breaks of blue

1.58” mtd

Mixing it up just enough that I have turned off the irrigation system

Seemed like there were a couple decent cold/onshore flow patterns in January and February. I could live with that. 

[Jbolin]

What's up mofo's?

 

[Deweydog]

I remember the GFS showing a massive Arctic outbreak about a week out around mid January. Can’t remember if it verified or not...

[Jesse]

What's up mofo's?

 

How have you been?

[Jesse]

Oh look, another rainy weekend shown on the GFS.

 

Can 2020 just be over with now?!

Just gotta hope they develop a rain vaccine ASAP.

[Blizzard777]

What's up mofo's?

 

 

Ironic! Your name popped into my head yesterday during my prayer time.  Hope all is well 

[Omegaraptor]

1999-00 repeat.

I planted some California Fan Palms and Canary Island Date Palms last summer and an Arctic blast would be really hard on them. Hope our six year streak without a regional blast continues!

Redding rarely sees arctic blasts. Many palms growing there.

[Omegaraptor]

Redding rarely sees arctic blasts. Many palms growing there.

Why do you talk about that place so much? Do you want to move there?

[BLI snowman]

Decent summer at least.

 

2000 was our last cold August.

[Jesse]

We can only hope.

Right. And until then, these weekends just need to be considered acceptable losses. No way around it. Thousands of weekends get lost every month for MANY reasons besides rain and drizzle. Honestly, every time you leave the house, you risk losing your weekend. Just part of life. You can’t live in fear though, just gotta accept that life sucks, nature is one mean c*nt, and there is no God.

[Front Ranger]

2000 was our last cold August.

 

"Cold August" is of course a subjective term, but 2011, 2010, 2009, 2007, 2006, 2002, and 2001 were all cooler than OLM's long term 1941-2020 average for August.

 

Far different picture than the last 9 years, and far different than what you'd get just looking at PDX.

[MossMan]

The rainy weekends are no worse than the flu.

[Jesse]

The rainy weekends are no worse than the flu.

I’m glad even you see the rich irony here

[Jbolin]

How have you been?

I've been good bro, 

 

I've got to be honest though, 2020 can **** right off at this juncture. 

 

Although N-3.4 is looking like Wall St in 1929, crash baby, CRASH!

 

You?

[Jbolin]

Ironic! Your name popped into my head yesterday during my prayer time.  Hope all is well 

Doing good, thank you.

[MossMan]

I just got an email from AKC about tips to keep your dog cool during the summer...The number 1 tip should be to move to western Washington.

You?

2020 has been wild...pandemic, economic collapse and riots/mass protests. All we need is a 1990 top tier arctic blast in December to cap it off.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

It may never rain again, but monsoon conditions at the moment. 

[Deweydog]

I just got an email from AKC about tips to keep your dog cool during the summer...The number 1 tip should be to move to western Chopington.

Fixed.

The 1941-2020 August average is also now heavily skewed upwards with the slew of historically warm ones in the last 7-8 years. Most of those years were right about or slightly above the longterm average at the time.

 

Certainly nothing that stands out as actually being chilly regionally since 2000. 2007 is the closest. Ridiculous stretch.

[TT-SEA]

Mentioning the GFS shows rain is just a fact... much like living with COVID.

 

I offered no opinion...it is what it is.

[Deweydog]

Facts matter.

Nah, 7-8 years in a 80 year time frame is not going to "heavily skew" it. It's a lot better than just comparing to 30 years averages, you'd have to admit.

 

Most of those were legitimately cooler than normal Augusts in non-UHI spots. There are maps that show this.
