Not wanting to start any 'why' debates, I don't really care why ;) -
But the only place I've ever been that's been around 90° at 1am is Las Vegas...

And it's rained like 3 times this whole summer, 2 of which dumped near 2" in 20 minutes in places around here. Feast or famine!

Crazy weird...

16 days of 100 or more this July here. Several days short of a record. cooled off and it was under 75 yesterday morning when I woke up. Can see and smell the smoke helping keep it cool today. brown clouds keep the heat away.

Cal Fire has several blackhawk fire copters now. three times the water of the hueys. I think they are flying the jumbo jets fire planes now. I know the four engine prop planes are in use.

Same weird weather up here too, we had about eight weeks without rain and last Saturday we had a brief but heavy rainfall. We had a brief shower overnight and tomorrow we are expecting light rain all day. It has also been much hotter than normal all summer including a few record highs.
We all know why.

In mid-July we tied for the 4th time, the number of days of consecutive 3 digit temperatures. Our average annual moisture is 13". Unless we have a very wet fall, I doubt we'll hit that this year as our wettest months were very dry.

I was at a conference in Phoenix about 15 years ago where the deputy mayor said that they were expediting to have >100º temps 24 hours a day within a couple of years. I believe that came true a long time ago.

Temps in NH have been very slightly low this summer. Rain however is a different story. At the official number from Concord we got 13" for July. At my house we got about 14 1/2", and poor Keene got 18". All are records for July. We rarely went 2 days without some rain. It seems I spent most of my time mowing the lawn.

[Zachary Hoyt]

We were dry in May and June, and then we too got 13" of rain in July in our unofficial rain gauge. The streams went from almost dry to almost spring melt levels in about 2 weeks.

" the deputy mayor said that they were expediting to have >100º temps 24 hours a day within a couple of years."


​I'm not sure it needs to be expedited.

[Stan Calow]

Hah!
The point of his presentation was that any efforts at water conservation were fruitless as they were adding a new subdivision every month (this was pre-2008 crash). SO actually they were expediting.

We've had rain about every three days all summer, also quite odd. 14" since I installed my rain gauge in June. Not much in the way of really hot weather, but it's looking like a jungle around here. The plants are outrageously happy. Oh yes, we have a watering ban in town due to the "drought".

[Brian Elfert]

Earlier this summer we had a run of over a week of temps in the 90s which is unusual for June. There were some nights it would have been close to 87 degrees at 1 am. The past few weeks our temperatures have been a bit below average. This morning it was raining and only 68 degrees. We need the rain as we are in a moderate drought.
