La Crosse is a happening place with the heat and Mayfly swarms and all...

That's not the half of it. It's Riverfest baby! http://riverfestlacrosse.com/ Next month is Irishfest, where I will be showing the Irish how to drink Guinness like a Norwegian. http://www.irishfestlacrosse.org/

Don't forget our other area attractions, such as Mothman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aC8F0X54V8 Or even the River Killer! http://www.weau.com/home/headlines/18353369.html

Norton Dam, Kan., hit 118 F. on Thursday, and 32 communities from Colorado to Indiana just posted their highest temperatures ever.

[KC9ECI]

I'm suddenly feeling better about the temps here. 102 predicted tomorrow, 103 on Thursday. I told the wife she should consider pulling the girl scouts out of the parade tomorrow. Too hot on that asphalt for those girls in that kind of heat.

I wish. My people are fair skinned and blue eyed, we're not designed for these kinds of tropical temps. If this crap keeps on, I may have to pack up and move back to a fjord in Norway.

[W5GA]

We've been 102-103 for a couple of weeks now. At least the humidity backed off, down in the 35% range now. It's all good, it's dry heat.

That reminds me of a quote from a now cancelled TV show that I used to like to watch.

112 here a while ago. Cooled off now, only 100. Spent the day hiding out at a movie with the wife and 2/3s of the kids. Then hid out at Gander Mountain for a while. Supper at North Country Steak Buffet...all you can eat crab legs 5PM until gone makes for a frenzy of rednecks. Back home now waiting for the 2nd Monday of the week to start tomorrow.

Weird...here in the desert, 84 deg F. We had a rainy start to the day, so im sure thats the issue..but overall, its only been hot a few days.

[w2amr]

80 degrees @ 5AM. WTF?

[n2ize]

80 degrees @ 5AM. WTF?

Yeah, it happens. I remember one year we had a stretch of a few days where the temp didn't go much below 85 all night. I also remember a few times when the night started off cool and then went up into the 80's in the middle of the night/.

It's just... Too Darned Hot !!!

Here I am, George.

From the experts:

Conclusion

There is no imminent conclusion to this heat wave. As the high-pressure ridge over the Southeast weakens, a new ridge is developing again over the Southwest and threatens to form a broad flat upper-level dome stretching from New Mexico to Georgia. An up-to-date list of all the ‘all-time’ heat records broken at significant sites since June 23 may be found on ‘Wunderground U.S. Records’ under the ‘Climate’ tab at the top of the WU front page (scroll down to ‘Record Extremes’.)

18 of the 298 locations I follow closely (because of their long POR’s and representation of U.S. climate) have already broken or tied their all-time heat records.

It is just July the 1st and the summer has just begun.

Christopher C. Burt
Weather Historian

ILLINOIS

109° at Cairo Airport on June 29th broke the all-time record for Cairo (old record 106° on August 9,1930)

INDIANA

106° was measured at Fort Wayne, Indiana on June 28 (tying the all-time record set on 7/14/1936).

KENTUCKY

Paducah recorded 108° on June 29th, an all-time official record (although a previous site in Paducah measured 112° in July 1930).
Bowling Green hit 109° on June 29th, short by 1° of Kentucky’s all-time state June record of 110° at St. John’s Academy in June 1936.

TENNESSEE

105° Knoxville on June 30th and July 1st (old record 104° on 7/12/1930)


GEORGIA

109° Athens on June 29th (old record 108° on 7/12/1930)
106° Columbus on June 30th (ties same on 9/5/1925)


SOUTH CAROLINA

107° Greenville on July 1st (old record 105° set on 6/29/2012 and 8/10/2007, although 106° was recorded by the Army Signal Corps on July, 18, 1887).

VIRGINIA AND WASHINGTON D.C.

The 104° at National Airport in D.C. on June 29th fell 2° short of the D.C. all-time record of 106° set on July 20, 1930. You may have noticed that 1930 pops up often in terms of all-time heat records in the Southeast.

108° was reported from Petersburg on June 29th. If verified this would be the all-time Virginia state heat record for the month of June (current record being 107° at Lincoln in June 1934). The all-time ‘any month’ record for Virginia is disputed: 110° from Balcony Falls on July 15, 1954 appears suspicious and the Virginia State Climate Office has disallowed it. The next candidate is 109° at Lincoln on July 10, 1936.

So, is this really surprising? Note lots of records were in the 1930's. Again, the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation is a 60 to 80 year cycle, where it has a warm phase and a cool phase. Obviously, we are nearing the end of this warm phase. The las warm phase is now minus 60 to 80 years, which puts us in the 1930's, and beyond that, 1880's (2 cycles back). Conversely, the cooling phase we saw in the late 60's and 1970's.

A 2008 study – “Oceanic Influences on Recent Continental Warming”, by Compo, G.P., and P.D. Sardeshmukh, (Climate Diagnostics Center, Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado, and Physical Sciences Division, Earth System Research Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), Climate Dynamics, 2008)

NOAA http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/people/gilbert.p.compo/CompoSardeshmukh2007a.pdf states: “Evidence is presented that the recent worldwide land warming has occurred largely in response to a worldwide warming of the oceans rather than as a direct response to increasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) over land. Atmospheric model simulations of the last half-century with prescribed observed ocean temperature changes, but without prescribed GHG changes, account for most of the land warming. … Several recent studies suggest that the observed SST variability may be misrepresented in the coupled models used in preparing the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report, with substantial errors on interannual and decadal scales. There is a hint of an underestimation of simulated decadal SST variability even in the published IPCC Report.”

Could this be the Beginning of Another ‘Summer of 1936'?

The only previous June heat waves in U.S. history that compare to the current one were those of 1934, 1936, and 1954. The summer of 1934 went on to be the warmest on record for the U.S. (74.6° June-August average) and July 1936 the single hottest month on record (77.4° average).

Ominously, some of the June records that have so far been set this month have eclipsed those of June 1934 and 1936 (1954 turned out be a summer of only slightly above long-term average normal temperature).

Unusually cool here. The marine layer off the Pacific has lingered much longer into summer than normal. I am not complaining—temps would typically be closer to 90°F here in July.

It should have been a natural cycle taking on that highway buckle rather than a minivan.

Except that if you look further the "atlantic multidecadal osciillation" is mentioned and referenced hundreds of times on realclimate.org. Not to mention that a few of the sites to which you provided links subscribe wholeheartedly to the AGW warming principles and ideals that are summarized on realclimate.. Realclimate is hardly an ":alarmist" site unless you consider the majority of persons with degrees in climate research lending their expertise to the subject at hand to be "alarmists".. That is about as silly as saying all biologists who subscribe to evolution are "alarmists"... all Physicists who subscribe to string theory are alarmists, etc.

Same here, the high desert hasnt been as hot, especially yesterday. It was beautiful last night, fortunately. But its only early summer yet.

Been 90's here for the past week or so. Saturday's supposed to be a real cooker, around 100 or so,

Just got back from a couple days in Grand Lake, CO (other side of the Divide). They canceled their annual fireworks (usually shot from a friggin' barge in the middle of the lake). Signs plastered all over town saying $300 fine for smoking outdoors. Never seen anything like that before. Fire ban signs everywhere.

But then.. last night, the rains came. Grand Lake got a pretty good soaking. And it's all headed here. High tomorrow, 77. Overcast and 84 now. Ahhhh. Hopefully, this system will catch some of the midwest, too.

102 here as I post, supposed to drop by 20 degrees tomorrow. I may have to break out the parka! On an unrelated not, the guy who invented squirt cheese in a can, is one of my heroes. This stuff is addicting.

In other news, I agree with your squirt cheese assessment. Next time you go to the store... the Wheat Thins folks have a new product out that comes in a bag. Try it. That shit's just begging for squirt cheese.

FB on the squirt, not so sure if it's cheese but if they've got shit in a bag it just might work.
