Yesterday, for those folks using the western calendar was the last day of June. It was a hot day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsb-1TWMg4o if you want to see the time-lapse of the temperature. One of the things that are always interesting to me is the reality of weather stations. To have a clear view of the sky (required if your goal is a time-lapse video of the day), you have to have a station that is in the sunlight. You will notice for example around 3 pm, or so, when the sun passes to the other side of the house, the temperature drops roughly 5 degrees. It happens in 1 second on the video, and it happens nearly as fast in reality as well.
You see, the direct sunlight heats the station up more than the indirect sunlight passing over the house. Sometimes you will hear weather forecasters talk about in the shade and the sun temperatures. Directly in the sunlight without shade is always a little bit warmer than in the shade is. My fun weather station fact of the day. It is why my NetATMO has its outdoor module hidden in the shade a little. That way I get them in the sun temperature, and the actual air temperature. All of this because today is the first legitimate day of Joly. It is also the first day in the DC area where we are expecting 100 degrees. Not in the sunlight as you will see in the time-lapse above.
100-degree air temperature.
We will probably get 10, 12 more days like that this summer. The first one is always the hardest. Luckily we will be traveling all day. The joy of our mini-van is that it has air conditioning. It does make me feel sorry for everyone that has to be outdoors for their job today. Throughout most of the Eastern US, it is not a day to have to be outside. So for those that have to be outside, thank you! You can subscribe to my snarky weather forecast at the link above as well!
i think cold and hard arrives
The temperatures are crazy hot this year already.
They are! The dogs look sad when it is time for the walk. They love their walk more than anything, but when it is this hot we have to cut it really short.
A Serb great scientist has lived in USA. If you are dealing with climate change.
Read his works. He was raising the Sun’s waves to the climate on our planet.
His name was Milutin Milankovic.
I think I may have read some of his work! I do realize that climate change is all around us.
After a few cold and rainy days and floods, today in the Balkans is very warm.I do not like rain, but I do not like a lot of heat.
It is much harder to deal with hot than cold! I agree!
nice post thank you very much
It’s been very hot here in England too. I shouldn’t complain though, I’ll soon be complaining when the cold arrives.
I have always said, cold I do not mind. I can get warm. There are many ways. Hot, i do mind!
