Tyrone 2,743 Report post Posted May 28 We’ve had clear days with blue skies but cold nights. Went down to 1.5C this morning and got up to 18C then the rain came back so tonight is actually quite warm for almost winter. It’s 10C and raining around 10pm. It’s the time of year when I want cloud and a bit of a breeze at night to keep icicles from forming. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silas_Sancona 8,076 Report post Posted May 29 A hot ..but decently nice 92F at 1:15PM on Memorial day eve.. " Get out and go for a walk " pleasant 68 or 9 tonight, and 95-ish tomorrow, before another warm up sets it as we kick off June.. Not looking any hotter that it has already been yet, though lows may start rising into the mid / upper 70s by next weekend. Some meager hints moisture might try to sneak across the AZ / Mexico / New Mexico border in far southeastern AZ next weekend, but, chances of that occurring hover around 20% atm. Any storms that could occur out that way are sure to be dry, which could mean fire starts. Meaningful moisture - anywhere - in the state is at least 17-20 days out from next weekend ..On the optimistic end of the scale. On another note, ...Today's 12z GFS " Fantasy - cast " No, not the suggested 113F reading for here.. That's about right for mid - June. Look west. 500MB heights ..We often hear of " wish / fantasy hurricane forecasts " being depicted by highly intoxicated model runs during the summer, ..but, how 'bout " Fantasy Nuke Fest- casts? ..For those of us lucky enough to live " in the Oven " of the country? Regardless, Hints are there for the arrival of some 110- 110+ heat soon, It is June. ..but, this,.. really? Still though.. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heading for 19c today, it's sunny at the moment but they say there'll be a bit of cloud around later. Thankfully there's quite a bit of cloud coming over our part of the world for the next few days, so you should be quite a bit warmer tonight. The coldest Ive been so far was 1.5C the other morning but last night we were back up to 11 and 12C roughly all night due to heavy cloud. Its the clear windless nights that freak me out this time of year. Thankfully I don't think this year is going to get a lot of that. If the winter rains delay and the air becomes clear and dry then that's a worry. I remember that in a bad year up in Perth that could happen from about now until the 3rd week in June before the cold fronts finally kicked in and kept minimums up a bit. I think this winter may be OK. Our cold fronts and rain have already begun. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silas_Sancona 8,076 Report post Posted June 2 102F at 3PM ..Maybe tack on a deg. or 2 by 5.. Some current readings around Chandler Proper and the East Valley: Forecast for tomorrow and the weekend stays in the cruising lane w/ maybe some passing high clouds, before facing down the Gauntlet next weekend.. Dew Points may attempt to creep up into the 40s at times next week as well. Afternoon screenshot across the southwest.. Still an outside chance some moisture may sneak into far E. / S.E. AZ from New Mexico before the weekend closes out. Regardless, some signs moisture may not stay away for long. Mexico is looking good atm as well. ** Image Credit: College of Dupage NEXLAB ** ..After some unusual - but not un-herd of - June showers for parts of the state this weekend, could be quite the roaster of a heatwave settling in over California.. Here, as the saying goes.. More positive signs on the horizon?? ..More on that later.. Getting close.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A decent early summer's day, given that we will be running below average for the next week or so now. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but can't complain too much. Things will pick up again later next week. It's definitely looking on the cool side with thunderstorms over the next week or so, but again it's only the first week of summer. A mixed bag, but we can't really complain given the dry, warmish weather that we have had in recent months... This current La Nina is entering record breaking territory now for the time of year... SST's are off the scale around Europe, which can only really lead to warmer than average conditions this summer... at least you would think...

The warm waters around the uk can be a blessing or a curse they can either enhance warmer temperatures and decrease modification from hot air that comes up from Africa or a more likely scenario for us in the uk will be to increase rain and cloud cover. June is already is looking like another summer month not to achieve 200 hours of sunshine for us in the London area pretty tragic given We have the longest daylight hours you have to go back to 2018 for a sunny June Edited June 4 by Samuel 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silas_Sancona 8,076 Report post Posted June 4 94F ..on the way to: ..Hot ..But not too hot.. yet. Saturday Morning " Fantasy Forecast " edition: Rip roaring start of Monsoon '22 ?? I'm all for starting off this year's Monsoon Season with a Nuclear -sized bang, but... To say this morning's 12Z GFS run is likely very exaggerated, is putting it mildly.. Rare that we see any measurable precip. in June, let alone approaching .50" ( ..or more, as it shows on the Total Precip. Map ) Last year, we had about .02" - .05" around the 22nd, and that flirted w/ a record, if not matched a few ..if my memory is correct.. ( Guess i'll have to check again, haha ) This particular scenario would destroy records.. While we can have some humid/ hot days leading up to the first wetting rains, 3 days w/ dew points over 60 / Humidity approaching 75% at times ..right out of the gate might be a bit of an exaggeration, up this way especially. PWats approaching 6 standard deviations from normal would be pretty crazy as well.. Regardless, something is showing up in the models for the middle / end of next week, then again around the 17th-20th that might bring moisture into the area from Mexico, ..and maybe some " Dry " Thunderstorm activity to the mountains / Rim / S.E AZ but, ..Guess we'll see what happens.. Wouldn't mind this scenario at all though 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UK_Palms 1,382 Report post Posted June 6 (edited) @Samuel @Tyrone After months of dry conditions and above average temperatures, it has been a cold start to June and summer. I reached 24C on Friday and 22C on Saturday, but yesterday was cool and wet with some parts of the country (East Anglia) seeing their coldest June day in 37 years! When the west coast of Scotland is the warmest part of the UK, you know it is a bad day for the wider UK! Temperatures were 7C (15F) below average in parts of central England and 5C (10F) below average for me here yesterday. Oh well, you win some and you lose some. The first week of summer doesn’t make a season, Samuel. Looking at the forecast we may not see any more rain for sometime with temperatures back into the low 20’s C tomorrow. Close to average for the time of year and not too bad for early summer I suppose. I’m not really complaining. Let’s see if July & August delivers for us. I think it will be hot and dry this year.

Silas_Sancona 8,076 Report post Posted June 7 93F ..at 9:03AM On the way to 106-109F later... Could be the " coolest " day for several.. Regarding this weekend's nuke fest season opener? Current WxU forecast: Current point n' click NOAA for this part of town: Pretty much everyone's getting cooked.. Not surprised at all if these turn hot pink ( = Excessive Heat Warning ) with the " watch " area expanded state- wide in the next day or two.. Then there's this, from one of our trusted forecast Gurus: Hard to see on the screen capture, but yes.. that is 118F suggested by the WRF GFS for Saturday ( ..and 112-115F for Tucson as well ) ...Yuck is right, lol. Could both the locall NWS office and current Wx Underground forecasts be under estimating the heat a bit? Have to watch for changes thru the rest of the week.. Will shatter long standing records if we exceed the rounded out # of 114F on Saturday regardless. One thing is certain: we'll find out soon enough. *** As was the case last year, ALL popular hiking trails in Phoenix will be CLOSED 10am-5pm once the excessive heat watch is upgraded to a warning..*** Regardless don't be a dummy / " that Dude / Dudette ", hang in a pool, not out on the trails.. Still a chance for some scattered, dry, high- based thunderstorm activity over the eastern mountains / S.E. AZ, and New Mexico thru the end of the week / possibly into the weekend as well as a Upper Level disturbance moves north / northwest from Southern Baja. We'll see if -any- activity makes it further west across the Rim / N.W. AZ, or into any lower elevation areas near the mountains here or near Tucson. As is the case w/ pre- monsoon season storm activity, Lightning sparked fires are the biggest threat everyone will be watching for. Could also see Dew Points flirt with 50deg at times Thursday- Sat. as well.. Just to add some extra sweat to the sizzle.. Tis' the Season, for Sizzlin' 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
