See, there is where I can’t complain. We’ve been dropping into the upper 60s just before dawn and down into the 70s mostly by dark. It’s been humid for here, but not Alabama humid. Or even Maine humid.Quote:

After a brief spell of cooler temps Saturday through Monday, ridging will build back in with a vengeance. Expect very warm to hot temps favored from mid week on.

Meanwhile we’re getting the first frost of the year Sunday night [emoji31]Attachment 338405
Makes sense, considering fall has been in the air for 3 weeks now.
SDG&E sends me a notice my electrical use is up 50% this month and what am I doing? Dumb fucks, it is hot and I run the AC from 10am to 8pm.
Huh and just like that, it is pleasant again????

If we hit 90* tomorrow, which we are forecasted to do, every single day for the month of August will have been 90+. First time that has EVER happened since they started keeping records here in the Q.
Hot diggity dog!
A dangerous heat wave is expected to hit the West Coast over Labor Day weekend
(CNN)A dangerous heat wave is expected to hit the West Coast over the holiday weekend.
Fourty-three million people across much of California, southern Nevada and western Arizona are already under an excessive heat watch, and that number is expected to rise.
Forecasters warn that this heat wave has the potential to break all-time high temperature records for the region.
National Weather Service Los Angeles suggested that "all daytime outdoor activities should be limited or canceled."
Excessive heat watches are expected to start on Friday for valleys and mountains and Saturday for coastal areas.
Sunday is expected to be the hottest day, with temperatures as high as 115 degrees are expected away from beaches, according to the National Weather Service.

Close to 100 record high minimum temperatures are expected to be broken during the same time frame.
Overnight lows are expected to be warm in the 70s and 80s, which will allow for little relief for the region. Warm overnight temperatures impact people the most during heat waves as the warm weather does not allow buildings and people to cool down overnight.
This weekend is expected to be worse than the region's recent August heat wave, which prompted rolling blackouts in the area.
The National Weather Service warned that "extreme stress on our power infrastructure may lead to power outages." There is also a high risk of heat-related illnesses.

As long as you are sheltered from the wind off the strait. That chill breeze cuts right to the bone. FIL lives a couple blocks from that weather station. I always bring a windbreaker and a stanfield when we visit.Quote:

Tofino of course has the giant jungle beach thing on lock but it's cold and raw. Fkn cool and real surf, but the bikini crew is on the east side.
I sure would like to stay at the Wickaninnish Inn for a few weeks and surf up there. Last time we were there the waves were breaking way out there and the waiter thought they had 20 foot faces on them, which is entirely to big for me, but I have seen good surf there in the summer. For summer, Vancouver Island is it.
I lived in Sooke for 1 summer and north end of the Island at Holberg for 1 summer. The whole island is awesome from top to bottom. Parents live in Courtenay. Not sure I could handle Victoria as the traffic is horrific due to continued growth in housing but no growth in transportation. You're also captive to BC Ferries. Squamish would be my sweet spot.
Goddam it's gonna be hot this weekend. :mad:
Guess should probably head to where it's nice and cool...

Nice to sit out side and drink my coffee this morning. Once it warms up, close up the house and turn on the AC. Have a great weekend guys and gals. We will have the margaritas flowing for the thirsty later today.
60 degrees at 11:30pm in February in EWA. WTF?
Run out of Netflix?
Give us our weather back. It was 28 here before dawn.Quote:

Everything is upside down! Grass is coming on here and my winter pansies are going crazy. Normally they'd be frozen.Quote:

Overall, December 2020 was the nicest weather I can remember. Hell, January too. It is going to hot as hell this summer. Maybe I should put in the solar to help offset the $350 electric bill during the summer months?Quote:

Anyone watch “Endless Winter” (Warren Miller, 1995) lately?
A lot there hasn’t aged well. The short segment about trade winds and global temperatures being just right and the now extinct Chacaltaya Glacier.
We just logged the second warmest Dec/Jan on record here in Oregon.

Just a tad warm for this time of year. 100 here on the farm

Typical southwest Montana here, winter goes straight into summer.
The newly sprouted wheat field up the street is showing stress and I have a bad feeling the smoke is going to be worse than ever this year.
Yep, just a bit of a June heat wave here, just as the freshet reaches its peak. The work phone won't be far from me as the t-storms and rain comes this weekend even with the forecasted low temps. Hope we don't lose anything to major this year. Its been a nice slow melt so far. Watering the garden pretty consistently already.
Aannnd the AC in the office is on the fritz. Actually has been fucked since last year, but they made it work for heat this past winter. It was 25C at 7 this morning, 27C at lunch, and this was the temp at the desk at 3:30pm Attachment 376278 It was 30C when I left. Not productive office temps, even for the ladies that run cold.
100. Ouch. 86 here this afternoon was bad enough. Not long ago I was skiing pow dammit
We're in a severe drought situation here - so very dry this last Fall/Winter/Spring. My wheat does not look good. Some is okay, will probably be light on the weigh-in but I've got some rocky spots that are basically scorched.Quote:

But yeah, go ahead and take that June 3 triple KQ :eek:
Mid 80s for highs at my house today and yesterday. AC made its yearly debut. The onshore push has arrived right on schedule, though. Just went out for a walk and it's cooling down nicely.
81 @ 10:45pm. Gonna be another hot one tomorrow with wind and high fire danger.Quote:

We'll take some nice weather up here please. Large snowpack still in alpine, cool spring thus far and a week of rain has made flooding in these parts a very real possibility.
Sounds like things could get very ugly in a few days:

"The meteorological community is all abuzz about the forecast this weekend: several of the global models are predicting an extraordinarily unusual heatwave this weekend in the Pacific Northwest.
A heatwave so extreme that many locations might experience their warmest temperature on record.
For any day. For any year. And doing so in late June, which is not the usual time for the great temperature records."
Hopefully the models will back off a bit, but sounds like it's going to be damn hot no matter how you cut it and it's going to affect the entire west coast and inland northwest.
Here's the current Euro model for Monday afternoon. Portland 109 and over 120 near the eastern Oregon-Washington border! Even the NWS forecast is calling for a high of 112 in Walla Walla on Monday.

Will prolly kill my ski season. I can’t go tomorrow or Thursday, & Friday is my next day I can go, and I think it’ll be done.
Sending vibes to Seattle and Portland if those temperatures are approached. I was in Seattle for a 90 degree day and it sucked. Can’t imagine 110. Maybe it is time to start an HVAC company…
