Looks like PDX only got to 90 so another cooler than expected day due to the smoke.

At the end of last August we hit 4980dm, which was an all time August record in the N. Hemisphere. Since the aurora borealis so far south in May 2024, the Arctic circle has had this Summer pattern 2024, 2025, 2026.

Analog = none

Just had a flashback to 1983 having McDonald’s burgers in the 1972 Impala and looking up at my parents eating in the front seat! They even had the windows cracked about a quarter of an inch for maximum ventilation.

We had a 5030dm trough over the Arctic last night/this morning. Broke a N. Hemisphere record for lowest heights on this date.
