Following a chilly May, June and July from Seattle all the way down to San Diego, temperatures have averaged a full 1-3 below normal but with the westward shift in the Plains hot dome just as July ended and August began, this, has meant that the first 17 days of this month have seen a complete flip in the numbers and trend of […]
This graphic by AccuWeather says it all. I’ve been talking about this coming chill all week and here it comes. Expect low 40s for many across the Dakotas and Minnesota tonight with some rural areas likely falling into the chilly, near frosty upper 30s. The chill will extend south, southeast and deep into the same […]
High Latitude Blocking Looks To Keep USA & Great Britain Cool, Unsettled Through Remainder of August
Thought it would be worthwhile taking a quick look at the 8-14 day outlook courtesy of the Climate Prediction Center. While folks in the US will be asking, Is this coming cool a sign of things to come, folks here in the UK are likely asking, is this warmth and intensifying warmth this weekend also a sign of things […]
It’s interesting to see the reports fly in about how ‘relentlessly’ hot it’s been in the last 10 days over the West with Phoenix being highlighted. 9 out of the last 10 days has seen Phoenix top 110° with the highest value being 116°. Much more impressive is Death Valley with just 2 out the […]

The back is broken in terms of summer heat from Denver to St Louis in a big way with cool shot no. 2 coming acalling late this week. Just when many thought this seemingly never ending summer would continue, the flip has begun but like I said in the previous article, this doesn’t mean summer […]
It may have been a long and hot summer for the bulk of the nation but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel, starting late this week when a significant shot of cool comes down from Canada. Summer is by no means over but the back will be broken with worst in […]
June and July saw relentless heat centred from Denver to St Louis with days on end in the 90s or 100s. It was a pattern straight out of the 1950s, 1988 and of course the 1930s with the return to a cold PDO and onset of the El Nino. These factors greatly aid in supporting a dry […]
Highs yesterday remained stuck in the 70s from Minneapolis to Detroit with Chicago ‘shivering’ at 75°. It was even cooler around the Lakes with highs in Wisconsin and Michigan only topping out in the mid-60s. While many are in the 50s this morning, International Falls on the Canadian border fell to a chilly 37°.
