Texas Summer 2023

[Texoz]

I have studied this subject most of my long life, but no one ever mentions this information is derived from Major Metropolitan Cities that are now mainly Concrete and asphalt streets including the building materials for structures and all the rooftops. It takes longer to cool down in those areas. I know I'll probably be scolded for saying this, but there's to much fear mongering going on by the green deal folks that use more fossil fuels in a day than most people do in a week to travel around and say we're the problem. Sorry not sorry we need fossil fuels to survive.

"Sultan al-Jaber of the United Arab Emirates, who also heads one of the country's state oil companies, told senior officials from Europe, Canada and China gathered in Brussels that record-breaking heat seen across the world recently shows the need for urgent action to curb emissions." https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/climate-talks-chief-heads-oil-company-world-attack-101207165#

Actually it’s mentioned quite a lot. You really think a group of client scientists with PH.D’s aren’t smart enough to factor that in? Come on, man. Get real. Have you taken the time to actually read the IPCC reports or are you just shooting from the hip here? Because if you really believe all of climate science is flawed because the UHI effect isn’t factored into the measurements and models, I’m gonna go out on a limb and conclude you haven’t.

Measurements are taken and derived from a number of methods. And besides, most of atmosphere is nowhere near cities - it’s over the ocean.

Follow the money.........

Bingo!

Models are showing 597-600dm+ heat ridge first in the southwest and bulging out into TX. This could push a heatwave second half of July, probably the worst of the season.

I consider a major heatwave being 105-110 in the Texas triangle cities.

[Ntxw]

Lets get back to the weather. We have a major heatwave on the horizon. With the already moist environment, we'll be pushing some record heat indices across the state with it.

Yes it's gonna be hot for sure. Censorship is never good. I'm out, please delete my account.

Well, it's July in Texas. It's gonna be hot. Hopefully the pattern changes into August, but CPC says above normal temperatures are likely to continue. Our only saving grace (at least for the northern half of the state), is if we can keep getting some occasional rain. The CPC does hint at that possibility.

I'm under a Flood Watch again

It still hasn't rained nearly as much here as down there and OKC but still the difference between here and some parts of Texas is pretty amazing. I mean this is one of the wettest Julys ever in OKC

But I'm betting even down there eventually especially towards fall and winter the El Nino and rainfall will take over

Wake me up when September ends.

Nobody is “censoring” anybody. But we have threads dedicated to climate change so I think it’s OK for folks to politely remind us to stay on topic here and take those discussions to the relevant threads.

Carry on…

The storms are crossing into Oklahoma from Kansas

[Iceresistance]

Finally broke a 2-week streak of +SOI

[Brent]

Mid July and still having severe weather here

That Shelf Cloud is crazy per ODOT cameras.

Nothing too crazy here definitely not like a few weeks ago

Watching the storms in NW Oklahoma, they could come to me instead

[TropicalTundra]

Wake me up when September ends.

This guy gets it.

Won’t be long until night temps drop to 60’s. Then 50’s. Than a frost. 57 doesn’t think much of it until that wall crumples every decade or so.

[rwfromkansas]

Well so much for a nice complex. The end that would impact DFW is dissipating. Only the northern burbs look decent.
