Cool bro..........enjoy it!!!

Here in SW Missouri it's not the 100 degree heat that bothers me, it the 70 degree dew point and high humidity. Like being inna sauna all day. Takes care of water retention though

 

[Mr. H.]

It hit 93 in Illinoisy today. If it were 93 degrees on July 2, 1960 - we never gave it a second thought. What's the deal all of a sudden? We used to complain about the weather just to make idle conversation. Now we make a federal case over it?

A huge dome of steamy hot high pressure - responsible for more than 600 high temperature records since Saturday - shifts toward the East Coast starting tomorrow, Wednesday.

Over the weekend, this sultry airmass brought historically hot temperatures to Houston, Texas which reached 105 degrees Sunday, its warmest June day in history. The Houston Chronicle reported new record highs were set there in five of the first six days in June. The Sunday records in both Houston and Galveston shattered old records by seven degrees.

The heat expanded north and east Monday. The Chicago Tribune reported highs reached at least 90 degrees in 28 states, with records set in 20 states. Locations that set new record highs include Gary, Indiana (93), Lincoln Park, Illinois (96), Fort Dodge, Iowa (104), Milwaukee, Wisconsin (94), Minneapolis, Minnesota (98) and New Orleans, Louisiana (95).

An excessive heat warnings is in effect for Minneapolis today, where highs in the upper 90s are expected. In Chicago, high are forecast to be in the mid-90s, potentially the hottest in nearly five years.

Tokyo is facing the threat of renewed power cuts as a heatwave pushes electricity demand close to the limits of generating capacity, three months after the loss of multiple reactors in the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Temperatures in the Japanese capital soared to 35 degrees centigrade on Wednesday, and some surrounding districts reported their hottest June day on record. Air conditioner use pushed electricity consumption to its highest level since the March 11 tsunami, at 93 per cent of capacity.

The heat waves of the 1930s
By Kevin Ambrose
* Hot week just getting started: Full Forecast | NatCast *


A Washington, D.C. heat wave cartoon from July 28, 1930. The heat wave is pictured trying to break a "sitting record," imitating the popular flagpole sitters of the day. The summer of 1930 set the record in Washington for number of days that temperatures reached or exceeded 100°F, at 11 days. The hottest temperature of 106°F occurred on July 20. Pulitzer Prize winner Clifford Berryman drew the cartoon. Source: The book "Washington Weather."

Before there was global warming, there were the dust bowl years of the 1930s, also known as "The Dirty Thirties." The record-setting heat waves and drought of the 1930s occurred during the middle of the Great Depression and contributed to the economic hardship felt throughout the nation. They also occurred when most people did not have the comfort of air conditioning and many heat-related deaths were reported. Two years during that decade were particularly hot for our region, 1930 and 1936. Those two years set heat records in Washington which still stand today.

Keep reading to learn more about the heat waves of 1930 and 1936.

The summer of 1930 made headlines due to unprecedented heat and drought that caused disastrous crop failures throughout the United States. The summer of 1930 ushered in the "Dust Bowl" era of unusually hot, dry summers that plagued the U.S. during much of the 1930s.

Washington area farmers were certainly not spared in 1930, as intense, prolonged hot spells gripped the region during late July and early August. The official temperature recorded on July 20 was 106°F, which holds the record as the highest temperature ever recorded in Washington. Unofficially, 110°F was recorded that same day on Pennsylvania Avenue and 108°F at the National Cathedral. The summer of 1930 also set the record for number of days where temperatures reached or exceeded 100°F at 11 days.

High temperatures of over 100°F were recorded during two heat waves that occurred in late July and early August of 1930. The July heat wave high temperatures are as follows:

July 19 - 102°F
July 20 - 106°F
July 21 - 103°F
July 22 - 100°F
July 23 - 94°F
July 24 - 93°F
July 25 - 100°F
July 26 - 100°F

The August heat wave high temperatures are as follows:

August 2 - 94°F
August 3 - 100°F
August 4 - 102°F
August 5 - 102°F
August 6 - 88°F
August 7 - 97°F
August 8 - 104°F
August 9 - 102°F

By the end of the summer of 1930, approximately 30 deaths in Washington were blamed on the heat and thousands more had died nationwide. In Washington, there has never been another summer with a heat wave that has equaled the summer of 1930.


The Heat Chaser hostess gives a Washington policeman a cold drink, August 4, 1936. Temperatures reached 95°F that day. The hottest day of that summer was July 10 when the temperature reached 105°F.Source: The book "Washington Weather."

The summer of 1936 stands out as one of the hottest summers felt across the entire United States. The heat wave began in early summer, with the Midwest experiencing June temperatures exceeding 100°F in some locations. The heat peaked in July, with all-time records set in many cities. Steele, North Dakota recorded a high temperature of 121°F and portions of Canada saw high temperatures exceed 110°F. In Washington, the temperature reached 104°F on July 9 and 105°F on July 10. More than 5,000 heat-related deaths were reported across the United States. The heat wave and drought of 1936 finally eased in September.

For you snow-lovers, how do you think the winters that followed the heat waves of 1930 and 1936 fared for Washingtonians? I can sum it up in one word, depressing. Of course, if you like tennis weather or afternoon strolls without an overcoat, the winters of 1930/31 and 1936/37 were awesome.

During the winter that followed the 1930 heat wave, there were only 3 days which had temperatures below freezing all day and only 2.5" of snow fell during the entire winter season. Temperatures in the 40's and 50's were common during the winter months, with 67°F recorded on January 27.

The winter that followed the heat wave of 1936 was even milder than 1930 for Washington. During that winter, there was only 1 day which had temperatures below freezing all day and temperatures in the 60's were common throughout the winter months. An amazing high temperature of 76°F was recorded on January 9. A few late season wet snowstorms salvaged the winter for snow in Washington, with a little over 15" reported for the season.

The warmest May on record was nearly followed by the hottest June, until a cold snap this week finally started the winter chill.

Until Tuesday, June temperatures were 1.8C warmer than usual throughout New Zealand, a temperature shared with June 2003.

Like anyone is going to believe a word this guy says. He was sacked after losing the court case referenced here where he was "adjusting the data" to conform to his and the rest of the alarmists claims. He's quite the "real scientist".


NIWA challenged over accuracy of weather data

Many scientists believe the Earth has not heated as much as claimed (file)

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 8:55a.m.

Court action against New Zealand's state-owned weather and atmospheric research body is "stupid" and just creating confusion, University of Otago pro-vice chancellor of sciences Keith Hunter says.

The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) is being taken to court in a challenge over the accuracy of its data used to calculate global warming.

The New Zealand Climate Science Coalition said it had lodged papers with the High Court asking the court to invalidate Niwa's official temperature records.

The lobby of climate sceptics and the ACT Party have long criticised Niwa over its temperature data, which Niwa says is mainstream science and not controversial, and the raw data publicly available.

Coalition spokesman Bryan Leyland said many scientists believed although the earth had been warming for 150 years, it had not heated as much as claimed.

He said the New Zealand Meteorological Service had shown no warming during the past century but Niwa had adjusted its records to show a warming trend of 1degC. The warming figure was high and almost 50 percent above the global average, said Mr Leyland.

The coalition said the 1degC warming during the 20th century was based on adjustments taken by Niwa from a 1981 student thesis by then student Jim Salinger, a Niwa employee who was later sacked after talking to the news media without permission.

But Prof Hunter told Radio New Zealand the courts could not determine whether or not the adjusted records had been adjusted properly.

"It can only be done by people who have an established scientific reputation in meteorology. So if the coalition has got those people they should do the analysis. If they haven't they should find someone else who has got that.

"There is nothing sinister about making adjustments. Measurements are often adjusted because of procedural differences between stations or changes in instruments with time.

"The coalition are just creating confusion. Throwing mud and if they throw enough mud some will stick and organisations like Niwa get dragged down in it," Prof Hunter said.

Meanwhile, the Environmental Defence Society (EDS) said in a statement that it may join court action in support of Niwa.

EDS chairman Gary Taylor said the society was evaluating whether there was merit in joining the proceedings.

"On the face of it, it's hard to see how the issue can properly be brought before the court. We have no doubts that the science behind global warming predictions is robust and reliable and would wish to support the institute in any way that we can.

"It is one thing to have a robust debate about the science and quite another to attempt to belittle and undermine the need for action, as the coalition has been doing now for years," Mr Taylor said.

The coalition will ask the court to find Niwa's New Zealand temperature record (NZTR) invalid.

It would also seek a court declaration preventing Niwa from using the NZTR when it advised the Government or any other body on global climate issues. It would also ask the court to order Niwa to produce a full and accurate NZTR.

A substantive hearing was expected this year.

Just now the Fourth of July, and it's already been a long, hot summer.

With 45 consecutive days of 90-plus-degree heat, Savannah broke a record Sunday.

Before Sunday, temperatures had topped 90 for the longest stretch - 44 days - in 1993.

The National Weather Service has been tracking temperatures in Savannah since 1874. That 1993 record was set in late July and early August, typically the hottest time of the year in Savannah. What makes the new record even more remarkable, NWS meteorologist John Quagliariello said, is that it was set so early in the summer.

Thanks for bringing up Austin. You're the best!

Central Texas could see a high of 100 degrees today in what’s shaping up to be a record June month for heat, said Bob Rose, meteorologist for the Lower Colorado River Authority.

The region just missed the triple-digit mark yesterday, with Camp Mabry posting a high of 99 and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport at 98, according to the National Weather Service.

Lingering moisture in the ground from last week’s rains helped contribute to the slightly lower temperatures, Rose said. Also, the center of yesterday’s high was over Northeast Texas, not Austin, as it has been in recent days, Rose said.

The slight decline in temperatures shouldn’t stay long, Rose warns. He’s expecting triple-digit heat today and into the July 4 weekend.

The additional heat this week could make this one of the hottest Junes on record. The hottest June, based on an average overall temperature of 87.4, was set in 2008. For now, we’re looking at the second hottest June with an average June temperature of 87.1, he said.
