87 at OLM today. Their 16th day already this year hitting 75+. Ties 1958 for the 3rd most on record YTD.

What happened to the water treatment job? That was one of the more interesting gigs on here.

It was a really cool job but the company itself and the owners were horrible. It was great the first 2 years I was there…but they cut our benefits, vacation time, overtime and everything dramatically. Went from a great job with good benefits to terrible with rapidly deteriorated morale. Many of us in the company have left or planning on leaving. 
 

It became extremely toxic. My breaking point was the owner of the company telling everyone he bought a 2 million dollar vacation home and a brand new 70,000$ excavator. New cars ect. He then held a company meeting a couple weeks later telling us “we’re cutting vacation time to 40 hours per year because we can’t afford to pay 10 employees 80 hours per year” yeah right nobody’s buying that.

Surprising underperformance today by everyone's fav station, PDX.

Would June 2021 have been possible any other time of year, or did it require peak sun angles?

[Deweydog]

532!

Yes, no.

June 2021 would have been as hot or maybe a tick hotter in mid July through early August thanks to what would have been slightly less nighttime recoveries.

Again, context. When I point to OLM's numbers, it's often after you used PDX, with specific data points you chose. It's not a counterpoint to regional warming numbers, it's a counterpoint to just using PDX as a gauge.

And I've explained many times why OLM's long term records are better than PDX or SEA for comparing to historical benchmarks, records, etc. If that's cherry picking, go ahead and show me a better long term non-UHI influenced station to use.

Also, I did err here as it appears OLM actually hit 88. Apologies.

Sorry to hear, man. Shi*tty bosses are the worst. Hopefully the next is much better!

Topped out at 87F here in my living room late this afternoon.  (The backlight on my Davis station adds a couple degrees, it was probably only 85).  Outside it was a near perfect summer day at 83F

Well, here we go. Both Euro operationals go into full-tilt boogie heatwave mode starting mid-month, with the physical model going completely berserk. Precisely what I most did not want to see. Will hope against hope that the ops are outliers, but the ensembles look pretty toasty so far.

Right on schedule for the Big Burn in August/September.

Alright, so apparently we’ve regressed to posting to 360hr deterministic model images now? Can we leave that stuff to 15 year old YouTubers please?

Let’s try to be adults and stick to the ensembles.   

Although, technically 15 year old YouTubers are allowed to post here

That's really mean-spirited and completely uncalled for.

People post 360-hour deterministic maps all the time when they show SNOW and COLD.

And I did qualify it by noting that they may be outliers -- which, thankfully, it turned out they were. The ensembles were not yet available when I made the post.

I posted a weather map on a weather forum. That makes me a "15-year-old YouTuber?" GTFO.

Ensembles have had a really hot cluster for a while. Looks like the mean has trended to at least warm.

GFS looks nice

Crazy things happen when the sun pops out…I was actually chatting with people at the boat launch yesterday…I had lost my mind!

Hit 92 at my pad. At least that's what my temp gauge said. Also, my house never cooled down last night sigh

I hope Fred’s interview goes well. Rooting for the guy as always!

Yeah pretty mild night last night. Low of 62 at PDX and 60 at SEA. Marine push was a little underwhelming, but maybe a few sprinkles today at least if any of those showers survive the trip inland.

Bingo. So at best ~ 5 out of 50 members support that kind of heat. Thanks for proving my point, Dexter.

Looks like earliest melt out on record at Timberline?

>60% of members support a rather abnormal heatwave. Trend is warm after 6/12

It might get hot for a few days mid-month. Earth shattering stuff.

Y’all really need to chill out (pun intended).

Would be basically unheard of for >25C to not be in the extreme range of the solutions at that extended range.

Hey maybe Tim is right about my fuse being shorter in the summer. What can I say, I don’t like heat.

Not sure anyone is claiming earth shattering, at least they shouldn't. But warm is always notable around here.

Precisely. Which is why it’s not the most likely outcome. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Looks like it’s around 80 out your way with a dew point in the 40s.  Seems like a nice day.  Enjoy!

Warmest low at PDX since… December 10.

Only took nearly twice as much daylight to beat it!

Classic Summer starts July 1st type of year. Or not just checked ensembles for mid month. Jeez the euro from last night looks hellish.

[Slushy Inch]

Thunderstorm day on Saturday. South sound favored.

Yes,  pretty easily. 1992, 2005, and 2015 were the only other years that were remotely close. 1934 would be the only year I suspect may have been nearly as bad but their records don't extend that far back unfortunately.
