Just curious....how is the weather in your neck of the woods?

Expecting 112F today.

Been mostly in the 20C (68F) range here in the day and about 10 at night. Starting to get cooler. I noticed days are getting shorter too. Noticed it was still dark out at 5am this morning.

Yeah I see darkness disappearing around 5:30 AM.

Made me think of King of the Hill

Wow I think our streak of ten straight days of 104+ is gonna be broken, as it's only 103 at 4:50PM.

 

[IronWing]

Congrats to Phoenix! With your urban heat island, you've managed to be hotter (117F) than Bullhead City and Yuma, only 2F behind Furnace Creek!

A line of severe thunderstorms prompted tornado warnings in parts of southwestern Ontario late Thursday afternoon, with the risk to continue into the evening.

A muggy midsummer day across the Great Lakes sparked a vicious round of severe thunderstorms in southern Ontario on Thursday.
Severe thunderstorms bubbled across Michigan through the first half of Thursday, quickly sweeping east across the international border.

These storms formed into squall lines that generated damaging wind gusts as they rolled into southwestern Ontario. Sarnia was the first to take a hit from the severe thunderstorms, where Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a tornado warning due to strong rotation within the line of storms.



Sarnia Airport measured a wind gust of 115 km/h as the storms moved overhead. ECCC relayed reports of “extensive damage” around Sarnia as a result of the powerful winds. Winds peaked at 96 km/h in Windsor, with a 78 km/h gust reported in Chatham.
Experts will likely investigate any reports of potential tornadoes in the area, although the amount of damage around Sarnia is a testament to the dangers of straight-line winds even without a tornado.
Bluewater Power reported tens of thousands of outages in the Sarnia area in the 4:00 p.m. hour in the immediate wake of the storms, with ENWIN Utilities reporting nearly 10,000 outages near Windsor after the storm.



By 7:30 p.m., Hydro One reported more than 25,000 customers without power throughout its coverage area in southern Ontario.
The broken lines of storms continued pushing east through the early evening hours, bringing strong winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall to much of the region.
Picturesque shelf clouds developed along the leading edge of the storms as they rolled through on Thursday. Shelf clouds form when a storm’s cold outflow winds scoop up muggy air, causing the moisture to condense just beneath the base of the thunderstorm. Well-defined shelf clouds lend a striking appearance to an approaching storm.

Tallahassee 99, feels like 109. Staying inside with the AC and a cold beer.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Hit the heavy bag again yesterday evening. I enjoyed the sweat. Nice to come inside to A/C, ceiling fan, running water, and ice water. I don't even want to think about what this weather is like without them. Science FTMFW.

This map pretty much nails it

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Under a heat advisory here on the space coast today. Come on afternoon t-storms and cool things off.

Watch this, seriously, turn on sound and watch this.

I drove the 1.5 miles to the ocean beach today...

 

[Red Squirrel]

15C right now, going to go down to 11C later.

Suppose to be 26C tomorrow.

Crazy to think that summer is almost over, basically 1 month to go. I feel it might end early this year as it seems about a week early for overnight temp to drop that much.

 

[MrSquished]

last few days have been stunning. low 80's and high 70's, mostly sunny but some nice clouds, low humidity. put in a nice bike ride today all over Manhattan and had amazing eats.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

My Trane/Nexia indicated 97f/36c yesterday. That's the highest I've seen it. The t-storms moved through shortly after dark and cooled it down into the 70s, FSM's noodly appendages be praised.

I have a new screened enclosure being installed starting tomorrow. Have to pressure wash out there today. They just issued another heat advisory, so using the water will be nice. On the plus side, it's a coin flip chance or better almost every day, for having t-storms this time of year.

The autumnal equinox is September 23. Literally 2 months to go. Summer is only a third over.

Our ginger hobbit from Canuckistan is, I think, indicating when it stops feeling like summer and more like fall, at his high northern latitude.

He is much further north than I am. I am on the same latitude as Detroit.

Summer is just getting near the peak here. The weather has been very nice. Not too hot and not too humid. We have been getting more rain than usual, though. Crops are doing great so far. August is the month for corn to really grow fast here. Local tomatoes will be in huge supply in other 2 weeks or so.

I know I'd love Canada, but the Mrs. would not make it through the first winter. She is a true native Floridian, and they wear sweaters, pullovers, etc. when it's 16c here. 😂 I have skinned it surfing in December. I love cold weather.

Weather wise, we have maybe a month left. Days are already starting to get shorter. Still gets hot in the day though.

Which is why we need to return to the old method of counting the seasons. Summer was traditionally measured from May Day through Lammas, Aug 1st. Shakespeare’s Mid-Summer’s Eve only makes sense with the old calendar.

Here in coastal western Washington, summer generally starts on July 5th and ends about Labor Day.

May Day is too early. That said, one weird thing about counting from the solstice to the equinox is that the longest day of summer is the very first day, and it gets progressively shorter from there.
