As we end July we have changes in the upper air pattern as the mean ridge pulls west. After a cool and at times wet past 2 weeks for the Southwest, temps are on the rise this upcoming week while a trough is set to drive a decent shot of cool into the Midwest and […]
The pattern remains highly transient and while there’s currently a Plains ridge with 90/100 degree heat, there’s a refreshing trough over the Northeast, expect the opposite later next week. The 594 boiler plate ridge now over Texas which is pushing the first 100 degree day for Dallas shifts WESTWARD into the Southwest later next week but before we get there, the heat in the […]
Despite ‘regional’ hot spells, this July won’t be remembered so much for heat and drought but more cool and especially wet. In fact nationally it’s likely been the coolest July since 2009 with no 100-degree day as of yet in Dallas, TX and only two 90s in New York while there’s been no 90s in a few Ohio Valley […]
It may have been a cool summer up until now (likely to continue too) over Northern Europe compared to points further south, but it may well be the coolest July on record for St Johns, Newfoundland after experiencing it’s warmest July just last year. How so drastically different in just 12 months? [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The […]
This visible satellite view is one to put in the archives. Thank El Nino for not only supporting unusually warm waters from the tropics to shores of California and producing Dolores, a once major east Pacific Hurricane but this potentially ‘strongest El Nino in 50 years’ has allowed the remains of this hurricane to take an unusual NNE path, […]
While it was indeed the hottest day of summer yesterday from DC to Boston, it was an entirely different day up in Newfoundland. Just look at these anomalies between the Northeast and Newfoundland yesterday. Lows/highs from yesterday across North America. Northeast highs Mid-90s for the Major Cities with realfeels in the 100s while we saw a record low […]
Article from Hawaii News Now MAUNA KEA, HAWAII (HawaiiNewsNow) – While most of Hawaii experiences sweltering conditions this July, part of the Big Island might seem like winter after Mauna Kea got some snow overnight. Officials have closed the road to the summit of Mauna Kea Friday after snow fell and caused icy road conditions. The […]
Bare with me… my internet remains down at the house (reason for no US post at all yesterday). However, I am able to at least post from wifi access outwith. Hope to have an engineer out in a day or so but until then, there will be no videos I’m afraid but plenty of written material […]
We’re now into summer’s second half and there appears to be some pretty significant flips on the way. Since the heavy rains have eased in the last couple of weeks across Texas and Oklahoma and with very high evaporation rates at this time of year, soils are drying out and by doing so, along with […]
Persistent heavy rains, thunderstorms and of course wet ground as a result has led to an unusually cool open to July for Chicago and surrounding Midwest locales. In fact July 2015’s opening 8 days has been coolest in 31 years with 3 highs no better than 67 degrees. That’s the ‘average’ for May 5 and October […]
