June (July) 2020 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I’ve noticed for a couple years the Newport station always runs cold, even in the winter.

[Deweydog]

I went to a house party in Gresham, it was hot as **** and the house had no AC. They ran out of beer, but I had some warm beer out in my cooler floating in warm water with a dead rattlesnake. Didn’t tell anyone about the snake.

A lot of rattlesnakes met their end that weekend.

We got him on Hwy 26 just after sunset near Spray in Eastern Oregon.

I had a close encounter with one when I was living in Pateros. If asked, I wouldn’t lie and deny I may have peed a little.

00z Euro looking much better than last night’s so far.

We ran into several while backpacking Hell’s Canyon in 2007. Honestly surprised none of us were bitten given how tall the grass was on some of the overgrown trails.

[GHweatherChris]

In other news, I had a..close call today. Need to stop venturing outside during derechos.

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

I will go with the latter either way.

The trail up the Blitzen from Page Springs has quite a few.

Not everyone walks around with a camera on them 24/7

Still looks like a solid run for 100 on Monday

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Due for a flaming September after this frigid July!!!

In terms of heat, long duration is way worse than a high peak, in my opinion. A relatively brief heatwave that hits 100+ can be fun and dynamic.

[TacomaWaWx]

Low of 56...no precipitation so far this morning.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

I’ll take the under on that.

I just want to see an "official" heatwave. I'll take 91/91/91 over 98/98/88. Plus I can't really feel the difference once temperatures start getting above 90.

Willamette Valley browning up nicely.

I can see the Washington County donut hole. Looks more pronounced right next to the Coast range.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

And up to 88F now...I was hoping to avoid another 90F but we'll see...

Looks like the high was 88. How many 90+ degree days have you had this year?

[TacomaWaWx]

Drizzle has started here.

[MossMan]

I do!

[FroYoBro]

Less cloud cover this morning here compared to yesterday. Already getting some sunshine when it took until 11 am or so to see any yesterday.

[MossMan]

Wet deck. 53 degrees. Heat is on.

New to the forum?

More rain for you tomorrow as well... then summery weather should return.  

 

You might make a run at 80 by Sunday!   Probably 90 here.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Just hoping for a hot August to make up for this incredibly cold string of weather.

Randy reported his conditions.   53 degrees and drizzle is what is actually happening there.    I told him it should be close to 80 up there by Sunday.   Its not very summery there today but it will be by the weekend.    Nothing that was said was incorrect.

 

And nothing was said about your area... or Oregon at all.   Or about regional July stats.    And nobody said this was an unusual July.  

 

Thanks for chiming in though!

Do you normally use the heat year round. What are the average lows around now, 54 or 55F.

Our furnace does not usually kick on at all from July-Sept.

[Blizzard777]

Low of 57* with the lovely marine layers in place.

No sign of rattlesnakes or slugs 

[Jesse]

How many warmer than average JJA months in last five years for Seattle and Portland? How many cooler than average?

Probably pretty close to 15:0.

 

Mossman DID have to turn his heat on again this morning though, so there’s that.

[Omegaraptor]

That’s the Chehalem Mountains and West Hills which stay green year round.

57 with clouds and occasional mist here. Summer is ruined. 

[Jesse]

Cloudy and 61 here after a low of 57.

[TT-SEA]

Even a warmer than normal July can still be chilly and damp at times... particularly to the north and east of Seattle.   

 

It really bothers a certain someone when Randy reports what is actually happening there.    I guess Randy needs to be excited about 53-degree drizzle and the furnace running... then his comments would not be ridiculed.    It comes down to the "right" weather preferences again... and that is the most the important thing to Jesse!

This is the first summer in a while that we will sometimes turn on the heat in the morning just to take the chill off. We moved my mom in a while back and she just had a hip replacement done so been trying to keep the house not too chilly and not too warm for her.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

PDX scored a -0.1 departure in July 2016.

 

June 2020 was the coolest summer month at PDX relative to average since that time, with a +0.6 departure. 

[TT-SEA]

Pretty normal July... could be much worse.   Last July was actually much worse up here in terms of days with rain.

Yeah, the -0.1 in July 2016 came to mind. Unlikely we are able to beat that this month.

[TT-SEA]

It sure is nice when the warm, sunny periods include a weekend.

I just can't believe Randy's house is so poorly insulated he has to use the heat because the temperature briefly dips into the 50s. 

[Dave]

For the first time in the 12 years I have lived at this location, I have rats. I'm gonna need how to figure out how to get them and not the untold thousands of nearby squirrels.
