After a 3-4 day bout with heat at the end of the month into first day or two of August, models seem to be converging on a cooldown of sorts. So at least at this point, it doesn't look like an extended period of hot temps.

No sign of rain, though. At least for the westside.

So, slightly above normal with virtually no marine layer and continue to dry out our already cracked and withering landscape. Sounds about right.

Should be much better further north tho as usual.

Phoenix barely escaped the 70s today w/ a high of 81F under an unusually strong monsoonal upper-level low and associated stratoform precipitation. The mean of 77F today is 18.5F below average. Their high of 81F ties 7/25/1915 for coldest daily high, as well as the third coldest July high temperature on record.

Meanwhile, KSEA reached 85F today with plentiful sunshine. KEUG soared to 94F, KSLE to 93F, and KPDX to 91F.

I'm really hoping we can tap into some of that monsoonal goodness later in August. Don't even care if it gets hoomid.

Looks like a solid lineup. If you mix large quantities of light beer in with the hard alcohol you should stay hydrated.

Humidity, even in the absence of precipitation, is a substantial dampener on fire weather.

There’s a good reason large, prominent conifers grow naturally (for now!) all the way down into California, despite our lengthy and bone-dry Mediterranean summer climate. Not only are our marine layers an effective cooling method; the humidity they provide gives our native species an ambient water source during our natural dry bouts, as well as a cap on destructive fire potential.

It’s also all the more reason to be concerned by our sharp decline in marine pushes over the last 50 years. Such an innocuous change could result in vast consequences to our local ecology, and in many cases, it already is.

Escape plan for Aug 1-3: Ocean Shores. 

Don’t look too bad inlands for these dates but 63-64F with clouds out at the coast is what I need right now. 

I was very pleased to wake up to a marine layer out on the island this morning. Im trying to go to ocean shores the 20-22nd.

Based on local records it appears that summers in the first half of the 20th century were drier and sunnier than in the second half the century around here.    Its hard to say what the long-term normal is, but maybe dry, sunny summers are more normal than the 1980s and 1990s would lead you to believe.

This isn't the case at all. The reason you have this impression is because the local station you like to use was seriously overexposed earlier in the 20th century. Summers in the second half of the 20th century were generally both warmer and sunnier than in the first half, and precip has shown essentially no trend going back to the late 1800s with the possible exception of the last decade or so (though that could easily just be a random blip like we saw in the mid 1920s through the early 30s). There's also fact that September trended much more summerlike over the course of the 20th century.

Here are the average summer temps and precip for the Puget Sound and Willamette Valley

I definitely agree that thermometers were over-exposed back then... I am taking that into account.    

There seemed to be much longer dry streaks earlier in the century.   And even with an over-exposed thermometer you can still tell when it was clear or cloudy by the chilly overnight lows during the dry periods.     

It is most certainly warmer now than it was back then... but long dry streaks were not that unusual.    They became more unusual in the last half of the 20th century.

The readings seem to vary. I do believe that the weeklies go through last Wednesday. There has been some warming since then. Your numbers came from the Climate Prediction Center weekly discussion.

It's possible. Nice to break these up into separate events I suppose. 

If SLE can run the table they will match 2018 for # of 90+ days in July. 

Hitting #12 today matches how many 90+ days they had in July 2015... Either way that will be easily surpassed this month.
