Hard to fathom what a dew point of 88 degrees feels like. The second tweet shows the difference between the coast (where the water temperature is 93 degrees, helping to make Doha a sauna), and the desert.

My thought was "hey, that reminds me of Kuwait."

*Googles Doha International*

Oh.

You guys talking about last night? It was pretty strong winds. I'm not sure where I'm at there was any hail nor 80 mph winds, but there were certainly some heavy gusts.

That’s ing

Thanks to a "wobble" in the moon's orbit and rising sea levels, every coast in the United States will face rapidly increasing high tides that will start "a decade of dramatic increases in flood numbers" in the 2030s.

The conclusion, which was published in the Nature Climate Change journal by NASA Sea Level Change Science Team from the University of Hawaii, has to do with the moon's orbit, which takes 18.6 years to complete, according to NASA.

For half of that time period, Earth's regular daily tides are suppressed with high tides at a low average and low tides happening at a higher rate. In the other half of the cycle, the opposite occurs.

So at 40 years old I have lived through (basically) 2 of those cycles already? Am I understanding that correctly?

@shafnutz05

Do you have a good resource for checking tropical storm activity? Preferably longer range forecasts upwards of 2 weeks or so.

NHC is your best bet

It's very hard (or impossible) to forecast tracks and impacts that far out. And some tropical storms can form very quickly.

That said, if I see a map showing little to no current development, I'd be feeling much better about my chances if I had a trip planned in two weeks. The fact that there are no tropical disturbances currently down at that latitude is a good sign.

Thanks man. I see that the Saharan dust is making it very difficult for storms to form.

Yup. Dry is good.

This is what I'd call an active weather day.

[Dickie Dunn]

Honestly think our house might float away at this point.

[willeyeam]

This **** is ridiculous. I think it's rained here for ten straight days now at one point in each day. Grass needs cut and golf needs played. Fix this shad

We will be entering a cool(er) weather pattern over the next couple of weeks hopefully. Still warm, still muggy, but the oppressive heat won't be around, so hopefully things will stabilize.

Yesterday felt amazing around here, despite being a bit muggy.

[willeyeam]

today is an above average day in western PA

[shafnutz05]

Thought it seemed REALLY hazy outside last night and this morning. Sure enough. A lot of smoke from fires out west.



It's actually pretty wild how filtered the sun is this morning.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Really cool looking sun last night in Pgh due to the haze

[count2infinity]

Yeah... you could actually stare at the sun longer than 3 seconds. Not that you should. You just could.

[Kane]

[shafnutz05]

You can definitely see the smoke on this satellite loop.

It's hazy AF out there right now.

[blackjack68]

It’s been cooler in Mississippi the past few days than it has been back home. Not at all what I expected.

[DigitalGypsy66]

I think we've only had above 90 high temps 4-5 times this summer. Weird. Lots of upper 80s and heat indices in the mid 90s, but not actual airtemps.

[Freddy Rumsen]

It has been insanely below-average here as well. We haven't had a single day this summer over 95.

[Shyster]

Shut up! You'll jinx it!
