July 2021 PNW Weather Discussion


Recommended Posts

I was expecting July 2021 to be a new record but surprisingly I'm -0.5 degrees from 2014. It must have been a few low temperatures that tipped the scales. I had a higher average high (91.7 vs. 90.6). Overall mean was 71.0.

We pretty much talk about what is happening.  Sometimes its rainy.   

You love to build strawmen every day... but its soooooo tedious and stupid.   We can't change the weather.     It's probably best to have a zen attitude about all of it.    

 

You are on vacation, go ahead, take a break from the forum and enjoy it until at least when you get back, it will do you and ALL OF US some good.  Have fun!!

74 for a high and cloudy all day with no precip.  Still muggy but quite nice for a change.  Ended July with .03" of precip,  I think we've seen the worst of our summer and we will now start coasting into autumn.

Wow I only managed 66 for a high! 
Currently 61. 

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!

Cute... you had to move it up to the new page.  😀

I have not been posting that much lately anyways.

Yeah.... you're simply concocting a straw man here. 

No one here locally is saying it's been oppressively hot this month. We don't live in Yuma or Houston (yet). We don't expect something like 31 days of 90+ here in July, and don't use that as any sort of realistic standard or measuring stick.

Pointing out the reality of the current and ongoing situation isn't some hyperbolic way of making it sound like unsurvivable hellfire. 

Straw man? Jesse made it sound like it was unbelievable that after three days of 90+ degree weather that we were going to possibly see another 3-4 days with temperatures (possibly) around 90. I think it’s fair to conclude that would indicate it’s been some kind of relentless siege, which it has not.

It’s been a very warm but very reasonable month overall. We dodged a bullet here, especially during the first 2/3 of the month when a pretty consistent cycle of NW’erly pushes were the rule.  Even you poked your head out of the forum hyperbolic chamber a few times to acknowledge it.

I knew you saw the original, needed to make sure others saw it as well,  and you are posting more than someone should that is on vacation (or will be) in a region that has it's own thread.  Enjoy your time off from the forum, your young and naive flock will be fine, FWIW!!

I can’t believe how cool your locale can be. 66 was the low here today.  86/66 here with just a couple of sun breaks this afternoon 

MossMan and I both had highs only in the 60s.  It hit 65F as the high in my area.  Cloudy all day.

Some rain is trying to make it across the mountains but it looks difficult. Looks like some showers at Snoqualmie Pass and as far west as Sultan, Gold Bar and Monroe, it'll be interesting to see if it can get over. 

Definitely been getting positive splats over here in Gold Bar. Would be nice to see my yard a color other than yellow. And my small trees that the previous owners left us a different shade of dead red.

Finished July +1.7 degrees and 0 rainfall. Pretty disappointing having the rain totals cut back but a week out it’s not too surprising.

Totally subjective. Of the last 46 days, only two have featured an anomaly below -1 at PDX. And that's with our 1991-2020 averages in play. That's impressive for any season, and when it's summer and it's coupled with all-time record heat and severe to extreme drought, it seems very fair to conclude that it feels like something of a relentless siege. I'm not understanding why you're continuing to completely gloss over that context and treat everything in isolation.  It's been hot and it also looks to continue for the foreseeable future, a fact that you dramatic pattern crash pushers are now going to have to own.

Springfield was warmer than the airport so they were hotter than Jul 2015.

Airport was one tenth of a degree short.

Salem had its hottest month on record in July, beating out 2015 (!) by two tenths of a degree.

Medford had its first ever monthly mean over 80 in July. Crispy!

Spokane smashed its 115 year old record for hottest month on record, beating July 1906 by 1.6 degrees. Of course records then were measured in the hotter downtown area. The airport era record was July 2014, and that was smashed by 1.8 degrees.

Great work, guys!

Scale is different though making that difference look twice as big as it is.

Looks like we dodged a bullet in WA with only very little lightning so far.  Dry lightning would have been an utter disaster as dry as it is.  I can't believe there was so little activity with southerly to SSE flow over us.

No doubt the surprisingly cool day yesterday was very welcome also.

Still very definite though.  This summer will not be as hot as 2015 here unless something drastic happens this month.  A cool August would put us well short.

Wet from the sprinkler?  As an aside you should see how golden brown my lawn is.

The 12z GFS is pretty wet for a good part of Western WA.  Not so much for OR.

Had a quick shower early this morning just enough to wet the deck. And that part of the grass that you see in the pic I have not watered at all this summer…Other than two times where my kids wanted to run through the sprinkler!

Ice age incoming! Crop failures, GMO! Police busting down doors! Get your rain barrels ready and lots of explosives around your property for the food shortages.
