Portland actually only averages a half inch of rain in July and August. That many days over 90 though is definitely uncommon for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StretchCT Posted August 8, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted August 8, 2022 Normally you think of Death Valley area as being the hottest place in the US. Between it and Stovepipe Wells, every day in July at one or both of those locations was the hottest day in the CONUS. Couple of days in June were in AZ. So far in August though some other interesting places have made the list. Internationally, I was randomly looking at Toulouse where the average is 80-81. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for like 3 weeks toward the end of the summer but those 3 weeks were the most perfect weather you've ever seen. Like 80 degrees and sunshine every day. It was magical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where were you able to get data like that for international locations? There are a few places I'd be interested in seeing that for, but it's almost impossible to find it on International weather services except for Environment Canada.

Going back through my weather station, my high on the 5th was 100.2, dew point 80.0! EIGHTY! Heat index 121, peak wind gust 49, lowest temp 70.8, then got 2 inches of rain that night, over 4 inches 3 miles north. Nothing like extremes lol. I live in what they call the James River Valley, so it's always a tad more humid. That was stupid though. 20 miles north, ABR had a heat index of 114 I believe.

I can get some international monthly data from Accupro. Let me know where you want it from and from when. Not all cities show up though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right--I didn't think about that. Widespread 200%+ in the Southwest. Even a spot of 800%. That spot of 800%+ is where there was 1-2" of rain. That's Death Valley which saw the 1-1000 year floods. Spot in New Mexico has seen over a foot. Looks like almost all of Arizona has seen at least 2" of rain in the past 60 days. A couple locales are approaching a foot. Edited August 14, 2022 by ClicheVortex2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StretchCT Posted August 16, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2022 6z GFS has a lot of rain falling in TX/OK which has been dry for two months. Not sure how helpful that is, but it's something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted August 17, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2022 Euro signed on to the heavy precip in NE TX. Keeps it out of parched OK though. Most of this is next week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted August 18, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2022 Lots of the country seeing drought. I had been wondering what was going to happen. Crops are being pulled due to the inability reach maturity. Cattle are being killed to reduce herd size as there isn't enough feed to go around. Cotton crops have been decimated. There's less potatoes than usual (mostly due to last year). This won't allow for commodity prices to drop overall as these futures go up. Higher prices are one thing. If this doesn't turn around soon and extends into next summer, we could be facing really big problems. https://www.deseret.com/2022/8/18/23311525/farmers-killing-crops-in-western-drought https://www.fb.org/market-intel/new-afbf-survey-shows-droughts-increasing-toll-on-farmers-and-ranchers https://www.etftrends.com/cotton-etn-surges-as-drought-decimates-crops/ https://www.silive.com/dining/2022/08/potato-shortage-spurs-spud-rationing-and-price-spikes.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted August 20, 2022 Author Moderators Share Posted August 20, 2022 Looks like Alaska was on fire too.
