Phil Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 5 hours ago, Meatyorologist said: The winter of 1879-80 was an equally ridgy period for the southeast US. Then you have its inverse in 1861-62 out here. The more and more I read about it, the more and more it seems that the 19th century was a time period of midlatitude extremes overall. Or perhaps I am simply acknowledging the extremes you'd expect to see out of an entire century of weather across a whole continent. Definitely more temperature variability out here in the summers back in the 19th century. Lows in the 40s/50s weren’t all that rare out here in July, now it’s a struggle to drop below 70°F at night. Diurnal swings were much larger too, even had some days with highs ~ 100°F and lows in the upper 50s! Unfathomable anything like that could occur today..air-masses must have been significantly drier back then. There were still nasty stretches with lows in the mid/upper 70s and highs in the 90s like today, but it wasn’t a permanent feature like it is in modern summers. Would last a week then abate for a week, etc. Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
