I could smell a little stale smoke this morning when I let the dogs out.  

[MossMan]

It’s coming!

Smoke would hinder the heat some

The AI model actually showed this yesterday.  Have to give it some credit on that...assuming it happens.

One good thing.

San Jose, Santa Rose, Sonoma smashing their previous July records by 2+ degrees is impressive

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Felt pretty humid out there this morning.

Looks like a current DP of 63 at Drakes Crossing.

In other news the air quality here is green! They were also able to contain the nearby fire with only a few properties damaged. Although I'm sure it feels even worse to those who lost their homes.

Yeah no doubt! Would love 80’s and 90’s with full sun and deep blue skies over the crappy smoke filled skies. Thanks a lot California and Oregon!

You can thank one "ignorant and selfish a**hole" for setting his car on fire and pushing it off a cliff for the Park Fire. 

Thankfully he was caught, but good luck holding Zeus responsible for the Oregon and B.C. fires.

Interesting years in that previous records list.

The smoke doesn't look that bad on the visible sat pic even over a lot of OR.  That could change though.

We were super lucky to get that reprieve the final third of July.

The thing that made him even more stupid is the vehicle has many ways to identify whose it was.  He may not have even intended to start a forest fire.  If so that would make him even more stupid.

The last month of meteorological summer! 

[snow_wizard]

Definite fire weather early in week two on the GFS.

So sad as summer weather only begun a month ago with June being so cool and wet.

[ShawniganLake]

Pretty absurd that PDX could be stringing together another 7+ days of 90 degree highs.  Our summers are so far removed from what they were just a decade or 2 ago.

Was June actually “cool”. Seemed pretty close to normal overall

Yes. 
For my standards. And very wet. 

[Deweydog]

Less than 10 months until summer 2025

[Winterdog]

A beautiful 75 here after a lower than expected 55 this morning.  My July ended up tied with 2022 for the warmest over the past 32 years here at 66 even, just over 3 degrees above average.  No smoke here please.  I ended up with 1.43" of rain in July. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like it's 77 with a DP of 65 at home now. Gross.

You just gotta move up here I guess.  Sunnier, warmer and drier summers.  And more snow in the winter.   

[ShawniganLake]

Bit of a breezy north wind here so far today.

Still beats Oklahoma heat and humidity.
