Last frost?

[Scott Patterson]

Officially 31F downtown and 28F at the house this morning (June 12). Given how the season has gone so far, I'm guessing that this may be our last frost. It's probably going to be a hot dry summer.

It did reach 32F yesterday (June 13), but any thoughts of coolness were replaced by the fact that the official high was 90F.

28F at the house and officially 32F this morning (June 21). At the park where the sprinklers were running, it covered the grass with a thin layer of ice.

It's supposed to be 89F today and then mid 90's (near record or heat) for the next week:

Are these 60 degree differences in one day common for your area? Very seldom do we see something like that here in Houston unless it is in the fall and a very strong cold front comes through.

Yes. Only when it's cloudy do we have small differences. Here are the temps so far this month. See the night temps when it has hit 90 this month.



Compare when Houston hits 90:



Even when our days are as warm, we will always be much colder at night. For example, on the 13th we were both had about the same high, but our night was 35 degrees colder.

Yeah, one thing I absolutely loved about Colorado was the cool mornings. I remember when we'd go four wheeling up in high country early in the summer when there's still lots of snow across the road. If it was a long trip, it was always interesting fighting the snow coming back down later in the day. During the morning it'd be frozen solid and we'd ride right over it. Some of the patches of snow across the road would be 4 ft deep and 50 yrds long. Later in the day coming back down, we'd literally have to hit the snow at a pretty scary speed so we wouldn't bog down and get high centered in it. If you sunk in the middle, it'd literally take hours and lots of frozen feet and fingers to work your way out of it.

Officially 91F today. Up from 28F (or 32F downtown).
