July 2021 PNW Weather Discussion


Recommended Posts

Back on the westside! Currently at the Santiam River rest area eating. Gotta say, the Cascades are an awesome mountain range regardless of which side of them you’re on.

Driving from Sunriver to Bend it feels weird going 70 until you reach the Bend city limit and then it slows down to 45. Feels like you’re crawling. lol

Looks like SEA will fail to reach 80.   I can't predict SEA temps any more.

We were at Three Forks park on the river this afternoon and it felt very warm... high in North Bend was 83.

Flatiron says that's pretty much normal, especially if you pretend the greatest heatwave on record doesn't count. 

The temp anomaly map tim posted pretty much says it all. One 10 day stretch of below average temps in early June doesn’t mean much compared to how warm it’s been otherwise. It wasn’t even as below normal down there as it was around seattle. 

Tacoma WA elevation 300’

Monthly rainfall-3.56”

Warm season rainfall-11.14”

Max temp-88

+80 highs-2

+85 highs-2

+90 highs-0

2019 was much cooler. Summer showed up late and left early that year.

The fact that anyone would say this about what was still a solidly warm summer by all measures says a lot about the warped perspective on here.

Read that California is dispatching teams to help on the Bootleg Fire as it is now threatening critical powerlines that bring power to Northern California.

Salem hit 97 on June 12th (Supposedly normal), and 100 on August 27th. Seems like a major early and late heatwave. Overall though it was warm, it seemed cool to many considering our 2013-present climate regime. Despite being a fairly warm summer by long term historical standards, Salem only had 10 90+ highs, despite running significant + departures in May, June, and August. July was slightly above normal, September slightly below. By comparison this was the 17th 90+ max at SLE so far this summer.

May not be warped if the climate is really changing.  

Just a reminder we are in a double dip Nina at a solar minimum and pulling off this warm summer.

At this point in 2015 Salem had 16 90+ highs. This year they have 17.

Notice the yellow ranges from 0 to +1. Looks like half of the PNW avoided a statistically "warm" summer by most standards, plus 10% or so in the green.

Was a nice bonus too that we had no real heatwaves at all and very little of a fire season. The entirety of Aug/Sep without smoke down here.

I know this little statistic focuses on just here; but already had 11 highs hotter than 2019's max at KLMT (94).

Just to add on to this - It's been a full decade at this point since we've had an actual cool summer, and even that was nothing special by pre 21st century standards (especially if you include the blowtorch September). Even an average summer by 20th century standards would feel pretty remarkable at this point.

Another stat that's amazing to me is that of the last 17 (soon to be 18) July/Augusts at PDX, only July 2016 had an average high below 80. The 1971-2000 average highs were 79.3 for July and 79.7 for August.

Ok - someone give me the TLDR on the whole solar minimum thing, please. What effect is that supposed to (potentially) have?

Well we are past it now... so you already know.

74/51 on the day. Currently 55.

my grass has finally started to slow its growth rate, but still very green for not watering it at all this season. I have only been spot watering the plants/shrubs but not the grass.

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

55??

Is that the wind down through the Strait?   That is crazy.   83 for a high here and its still 70.

I believe you... that is just crazy how fast it gets cold there.   It has to be the west wind through Strait.
