Yeah they keep promising us a Tropical Wave each weekend that would hopefully bring some rain and a little cool down (at least while raining) and then they die out.
It is H O T !!!

I am just up the coast from you. This has been strange. A wet June, then July was very dry and the first day of August comes and it rains most of the afternoon here! As wet as June was, we needed it here in Brevard County.

I don't know what the water temp is in Tampa Bay but it has to be hot. The heat index is 97 at 11PM. Its horrible. I feel so sorry for the homeless people. They really ought to open the shelters up for them.

Its not bad at all at night really. But maybe since im used to the Arizona heat

. Summer is seriously of my favorite times of the year weatherwise.

Umm...ridiculous is right. I think the ol' thermometer at the airport monitoring station down there is acting up...check out how it went from 86 degrees to 102 degrees in just an hour between 3 and 4 p.m. today!

Did ya feel it!?:lol:

Yea, maybe so, but it surely was hot. I don't know if that 117 is accurate, but it definately was around 109/110 around 4-5p.m. A couple days ago in Kenner, it was 116 so who knows. Maybe someone lit a torch under the thermometer.

yeah look now at the map. looks at the 31C SSTs south of Louisiana!

I sure hope there isn't some wave that's gonna come off Africa in a couple of days and set its sights on NO. By then, that 31C stuff will be a much larger pool to feed from :eek:

ChaserUK · #15 Postby **ChaserUK** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 4:51 pm

my god that is like bath water temp! I cannot help but note the high anomolies high up there in the N Atlantic - has anyone got a link for SST anonoly for the entire Atlantic including the UK?

Rashid · #16 Postby **Rashid** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 5:14 pm

the depth of the warm water in that area is so shallow that a slow moving storm will lose a lot of punch before it reaches the coast. it's those chuggers going 15+mph that you'll have to fear.

ChaserUK · #17 Postby **ChaserUK** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 5:21 pm

good point there but surely a system moving quickly can still mix the water up enough to lose some of its potency?

This might be the year they have to change the map key!! I wonder what color they'll use if the temps get above 32C??

...and by the way, what causes the SSTs to be so much "cooler - relatively speaking - just off the north coast of South America?

I believe it's due to the trade winds blowing the warm surface water WNW and this causes cool water upwelling. That water is still plenty warm to support strong cyclones.
