Has it been a cool summer fo far for you?

I'm hoping for a massive coronal mass ejection sometime in Cycle 24

 

I knew the 90s wouldn't last. It's back up to 104 today.

 

As I've said before, we better hope that we are starting a long sustained solar minimum (no signficant sunspots for a generation or two) and that this has a greater impact than the models presently predict. Because if we aren't, the next few years could be real scorchers.

If I was a denialist betting on the Sun's cycles I would be very concerned about how warm these past few years have been despite the point in the cycle... They are making some highly improbable bets about what will happen assuming the sunspot cycle resumes.

 

Feh. I want a catastrophic CME

 

Better to burn out, than to fade away?

 

Giant solar flatulence, so to speak. Maybe the Sun needs Tums.

Tums controls acid levels...i think we need "BeanO"

 

I prefer 'not fade away'. Bada boom!

 

Yep, I want badda boom. Actually, we had a cold winter, a pissy and cold Spring, around 14 days of 28-31 C weather, now more cool pissy weather. If this keeps up, I might as well spark up the gas fireplace again

We are back to fireplace weather here too, although I have resisted.

107 in the central valley and it's only just started.......

 

relatively hot and dry here. 90º today...expected to be around 93 tomorrow...average high for today?? 79º.... so not real hot...did have a few rainy days earlier this week, didnt rain enough to make a difference though

 

Set a new record high low today. 66 was the record back on this date in 1958 and we hit 62 today. The average low is like 64.

The weather forecasters were correct about their predictions back in February, stating that this will be a summer without summer.

 

We got up to 60 today too, although we are back into the 50s again tonight.

It was hot as balls here in the metrowest Boston area yesterday.

 

I haven't heard that one before. Usually, balls are associated with cold. As in, 'cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.'

 

Okay, you heard it here first: "Hot enough to melt the balls off a brass monkey."

Yesterday: low 49, high 65. Low this morning, 47. Forecast high 72.

Kind of sucky weather for the middle of July. I have a dinky sickly little tree in the front yard - I keep hoping it croaks so I can yank it out - and the leaves started turning yellow this week

I thought good, it's finally going to die on me. Except walking around the 'hood, I noticed other trees are also turning their leaves. That's a bad sign. I'm in no mood for an early fall and another bone-chilling winter

 

Um, speaking as one guy to another, you had better see a doctor about that.
