September 2015 in the Pacific Northwest

I guess I'm alone in my love for limited light and low sun angles.

 

 

Its fine for a little while but its clearly not normal to want darkness all year long.    Its not human nature to want that... its incompatible with life.   We are not wired to want darkness all the time.   It goes against preservation of the species.

Despite proving himself over and over again to be pretty accurate... someone is still calling out Mark Nelsen on his blog for having a warm bias because he mentioned the ECMWF weeklies show a return to warmer weather.   :rolleyes:

3rd warmest August on record at PDX.

 

Really puts the heat of the rest of Summer in perspective since much of August has felt fairly cool.

Still 20,000 Snohomish County PUD customers without power. That's down just 4,000 in the last 24 hours.

 

It will probably be a while for some as many of the remaining outages only effect a few houses and take hours to fix.

August felt pretty warm, at least down here. Some cool days but way more warm ones. And, as usual for summers in recent years, a ton of mild, 60+ nights.

I didn't drop below 60 last night which would make it the first time in my record of 5 years for this station in September.

 

Maybe it will cool off more quickly tonight.

Hopefully it will. Vigorous little cold front is supposed to move through late this afternoon. Then the next 3-4 days look amazing with highs in the upper 60s to around 70 and lows in the 40s most spots, maybe even upper 30s in far outying areas like Vernonia.

 

Just perfect early Fall weather.

Ya it'll be nice to get into the 40s for a few mornings.

 

Heading to Alaska from the 8th through the 20th.  Super excited to see fall in advanced stages already.  Denali has seen quite a few snows already.  I just hope I don't miss peak fall color.  Crossing fingers to see the northern lights too.

Pretty much the default weather here since last Friday.   Just keeps raining... up to 3 inches now since Saturday morning and well over 7 inches in just over 5 weeks.    

 

No more watering this year... its crazy wet now.

Told you this summer was going to rival the recent hot summers.  :)

 

Took the number 1 spot.    1958 is dethroned.

Well 2014 dethroned 1958 at SLE, but now it is in 3rd.

2010 and 2011 were probably the reason for 2014 and 2015. Just like 2016 and 2017 will be the reason for 2020 and 2021.

 

Lots to look forward to!

Two (extemely overdue) slightly below average summers made us due for our two warmest on record.

 

Fall ball logic!

SEA has a streak of 3 days in the 60s going, and that looks like it will continue for 3 more days. A rare thing in recent late summers. Really, a fairly rare thing in SEA history, to see 6 straight day without hitting 70 in late Aug/early Sep.

It's been an incredible run.

My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

Low of 63 at PDX this morning. #53 for the year. We are even racking them up during this record breaking cold stretch!

Oh the possibilities...

 

Some may say we'll be paying for 7-10-08 for decades to come.

Alls I know is that if the weather dares to drop even a little below average for a couple weeks during ball season, we have to pay for it with at least a year or two of record breaking warmth.

Facts is facts. Not trying to be a contrarian (this time), but with all this warmth talk today, it's interesting to note that SEA is in the midst of a somewhat unusual cool streak - for highs, at least.

 

But lows are all that really matter, obviously.

A forum for the end of the world.
