Front Ranger Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 19 minutes ago, Jesse said: Yeah, no. It’s far from a stretch to say this summer is on track end up close to as hot as or even hotter than 2015 for many parts of the region, fog belt locations within five miles of Puget sound notwithstanding. Long way to go. But some obscure stations like OLM, SEA, and VUO are definitely not on track to end up that warm. August will be telling! 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Septembers in both years were also quite pleasant and troughy. Unfortunately our current warm season climate is no longer anything like the 1970s, and even the 2000s are noticeably cooler. Winters have certainly changed here but summers have changed much faster and much more decisively. Summers (or the warm season in general) have definitely been starting earlier recently, but I wouldn't say they've been stretching long. September 2019, 2018, 2016, and 2015 were all cool to average-ish temp wise for the region, with a decent amount of rain, and even 2017 turned abruptly fall-like halfway through. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Having summer essentially start in late April recently more than makes up for fall starting more or less on time. Historically our hottest or driest Septembers were in years with much wetter and cooler spring and summer weather than we've seen recently. 2012, 2011, 1993, 1991, 1975, 1974... it makes sense that we haven't quite seen the magic combo of a bone dry spring, a crazy hot and dry summer, and a thoroughly summer-like September. Maybe this will be the year we break through and go full Sacramento. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the west-pacific lights up mid-month it’s game over, though. Can’t see how NH middle latitudes in general don’t blowtorch well into the autumn, but maybe I’m full of it.
