TT-SEA Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 4 minutes ago, Meatyorologist said: That's more of a convection type deal this time of year. Unusually for a budding El Niño, the next couple weeks look to feature more of a canonical -ENSO type pattern with a stout GOA ridge and throughs riding on its eastern flank from the NW into our region, bringing in unseasonable Pacific influence and maximizing northerly sfc pressure gradients. Great for marine layer days, but not so optimal for appreciable precipitation. Monday is a special case since the trough is trending increasingly cut off, intensifying warm air/moisture advection from the south and forcing condensation on the frontal boundary. Pretty winterlike. And even then, QPF values are in the tenths of inches; hardly enough to re-green lawns. One hope I have is in the PSCZ. That could locally boost totals substantially along the King/Snohomish county line. Troughs happen in the summer. Even with a Nino. How do you explain this beast from late July 2015? 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 You can tell by the visible satellite loop that the marine layer is going to make a run all the way up the Sound tonight and tomorrow is a classic set up for underachieving high temps. It is already coming in fast from the coast. Its that first day after a decent push that always messes with the models.

Nah... probably up to exit 34. North Bend should be right on the line... but as soon as you start going up to the east it will be sunny even in the early morning. Although sometimes you see tentacles of low clouds following the river valley to the east. Those usually vanish very quickly as soon as the sun comes up. 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Dulles is a UHI hotbox now. Only 4 days below 90°F so far this month (and most of those eeked by with 89°F). But from an upper level standpoint, this pattern should be average to perhaps slightly cooler than average, which is what my station data reflects.

I went down a rabbit hole recently on weather from the 1300s through the 1700s and there is site that lists and talks about all the major weather events in Europe pulled from different sources. Extreme cold and extreme wet were seemingly much more detrimental. Some of the summers during the LIA were pretty brutal on the human population of the time. Thankfully we have spent the last 100 years coming out of the LIA so during our lifetime the climate is more favorable. Is there really an ideal climate for human civilization? Here is the UN’s list of least developed countries: With the exception of Afghanistan (which is the way it is for a plethora of non-climate related reasons) basically all these countries are in the tropics (or very close). That’s not a coincidence. Tropical climates have two major disadvantages - their soil tends to be poor and excessively acidic for productive agriculture, and they have drastically higher rates of malaria, dengue, parasites, etc. So I guess neither extreme is good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Australia is in the tropics, yet Australia is a wealthy first world nation.

Might I add the "resource curse" phenomenon too with plenty of these countries. Acidic soil, a lot of disease that's able to spread at higher rates, and also since plenty of these nations are along the warm tropics, they aren't forced to go into technology, diverse trade/commerce, and industry to survive, compared to countries with a massive lack of resources like Britain and Japan. I'm surprised my Philippines isn't highlighted but they did have industrialize heavily over the last few decades. Of course this is a huge generalization and there's a multitude of geopolitical factors over the last several centuries that people can write papers on for days, and it's debatable whether if the resource curse is a real thing, but the tropical climates doesn't help. 2 Quote 𝘐𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴, 𝘐 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘯.
