Hillizard Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 As of 3:30 PM, I can report it's 111 deg. F (43.9 C) in the shade here in the Sacramento, CA suburbs. Looks like I'll be on water duty later today!💦 I can see the local mourning doves panting in my backyard.

Silas_Sancona Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 A firecracker of a 4th shaping up across state 48 ..Heat, and heat - related advisories aren't going anywhere either, at least through Friday, possible they're extended again thru the upcoming weekend / start of next week. With that said, While meager, and slow to build in, it appears moisture may start to increase across the state toward the end of the weekend / start of next week.. aside from the heat, next biggest threat looming may be from any thunderstorm activity which fires up across the mountains / S.E AZ since most of those storms will be dry ...until moisture builds in deep enough to promote wetting rains. Something to watch as we start the transition process.. Some selected Monsoon start dates, using the " Need 3 consecutive days of 50-55 Deg.

flplantguy Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 The high today was 93 for a short period and hovered at 91 or so most of the afternoon, with a dewpoint around 80. The (light) breeze from the gulf kicks in by 10 or so and dies after sunset, keeping the ultimate temp lower but the heat index high. No rain for a couple weeks again and with the promise of only more heat; the rain chances are just kicked back in the forecast each day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_Palms Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 The weather was proper rubbish yesterday for mid-summer. With a max of just 17.8C / 64F, it was my coldest July day in 8 years, since 2015. Many places were running 7-8C / 15F below normal. Some spots like Gloucestershire were 10C / 20F below normal, so quite an abnormally cool day. Windy too with a fair bit of heavy rain yesterday evening too. Another 11mm / 0.43 inches here. My wettest day since March. There will be highs of 28C / 82F by Friday and into the weekend, but the forecast still looks a bit iffy moving forward. The next 10-14 days aren’t looking great, given that we are approaching mid-summer. We are going to be waiting until late July - early August for the next proper heat burst and any real sustained ‘dry’ spell. I can’t say that I am too thrilled by the outlook. It could be better, but then again it could be worse. 2 Dry-summer Oceanic climate (9a) Average annual precipitation - 18.7 inches : Average annual sunshine hours - 1725 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite this, nights were still pretty warm with lows usually between 15°C and 18°C. Days were partially cloudy 🌥️ and we finally got at least a bit of rain ⛈️.

Same with what is suggested by Tropical Tidbits, the NWS, etc.. This is why i say ..take the " suggestions " with a grain of salt, -for now at least.. If what is suggested is still on the table by Tuesday, ..Then we've got a problem, lol. Hopefully the forecast has backed off such extreme heat a little by then. Then again, of all the readily available Wx models one could look over -if they wanted to- for our region esp, the WRF has, in my personal opinion, done better than data from some of the other, more mainstream sites.. Again though, it is far from perfect.. Regardless, we'll just have to see what happens.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Posted July 6 Report Share Posted July 6 Had a very windy night. Min of 13.4C which is pretty warm for early July. Looks like we are going into a westerly flow which means warmer temps. It makes a change from the more southerly flow we’ve been having. Also rainfall is backing off which is good as my lake system was getting dangerously high at some points in the last few days. 1 Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S.

Silas_Sancona Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 Sizzlin' ..but could be worse. Stays about the same thru the rest of the weekend/ start of next week ..as it looks at the moment... Noting some things in model guidance since yesterday which may ..or may not.. keep the anticipated heat in check a bit for later next week.. Or kick it down the road a litte more.. Obviously, just gonna have to continue to watch how things evolve over the next couple days. -For Now- Looks hot, for sure, but maybe not as bad as how it looked earlier.. Dew Points also look to be headed up also ( Magenta line / arrows ) , which may account for a slight adjustment / reduction in currently suggested temps for next week ..We'll see.. Regardless, D.P's will not be high enough to encourage storm activity, except maybe in the mountains / down south near the border. Hopefully, it is a start in the right direction though.. With that said ..Finally!.... some decent-looking ( ...at least on Satellite ) storms developing atm just south of the border, and over portions of Santa Cruz / Cochise counties, just south / southeast of Tucson. Those areas stand the best chances for more activity at times thru next week, while we bake.. We'll see if any future forecasts try to pull a little more moisture north and west.

Throughout the day the air got humid and we were just scraped by the thunderstorms coming from the South West. Only a few drops of rain have come down. ☀️⛈️ 2023 High 37.3°C Low -3.9°C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmatierMeg Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 99.3F at 2 p.m. This has been a brutal heat wave the last couple weeks. It's too hot to hand water except before sunrise. And we still can't buy a raindrop. Last week after a 3-week dry spell we got 0.13". Hallelujah. A few days ago we got 0.06". Friday we drove up to north Tampa - it rained. That evening we drove back to Cape Coral - nada. July is usually our rainiest month. Bodes ill for the rest of the year. Oh, and the Hurricane Center ratcheted up our storm season from below normal to above normal. 2 Meg Palms of Victory I shall wear Cape Coral (It's Just Paradise) Florida Zone 10A on the Isabelle Canal Elevation: 15 feetI'd like to be under the sea in an octopus' garden in the shade.
