On Wednesday June 15 at 307 PM EDT, the Tallahassee Regional Airport in Florida recorded a high temperature of 105 degrees. This temperature breaks the previous all time high temperature record for Tallahassee of 104 degrees, set most recently on June 20th 1933. The period of record for Tallahassee dates back to 1892.

1. Yeah, it was no fun here at that temp

Fortunately, it was slightly cooler here at the farm - only about 98 max for the week.

The weather station for Tallahassee is at the airport, in a depression. On days without a breeze, that spot gets much hotter in the summer and much colder in the winter than most areas around town. Their temperatures are consistently 5+ degrees different than our measurements here, about 25 miles northeast and in the country with grass and trees rather than in a wide open area with lots of asphalt and no shade.

2. It's awful here in Kingston

I can't remember heat like this in June

4. Isn't the ocean temperature higher than normal for this time of year?

I saw a chart of ocean temps a few weeks ago and thought they looked much higher than normal. I'm surprised we have not had any tropical systems building off all that energy!

Here, it seems that we are having hotter temps early in the summer but once the tropical systems get in gear it cools off. I hope we get some sort of method going for pumping some water into the Southeast - we are nearly fifteen inches below normal rainfall and our grass is drying up. We've gotten just enough rainfall to barely keep it alive, but not enough for it to grow. Grass is not supposed to be crunchy when you walk across it!

7. Here's a good link

14. How hot is it in Kingston, malaise?

I agree with you, the seasons are different. We hit mid 80's in May and low 90's by end of May, now are in upper 90's all this month, which is "usually" our July/august temps.

3. Glad to see someone is getting some decent weather.

Middle of fucking June and my furnace still kicks on. Today's forcast for San Diego: Mostly cloudy skies this morning will become partly cloudy this afternoon. High 67F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.:scared:

8. I saw this morning that they're still

clearing snow in Montana - it could be worse :hi:

10. Consider yourself fortunate. It's in the high 90s here in North Georgia.n/t

20. Um,... Are you complainging about 67 degree weather? We'd kill for that, Lucky devil.

5. With the 1930's like weather and economy

I'd say we're about this close to The Great Depression 2.0

6. I live in Tallahassee and yes, we're spontaneously combusting!

However, here's the thing. Prior to living in Tally, I lived in Miami. Miami has no trees. It's pure asphalt and they built deep into the Everglades, so nature is nowhere to be found. It's like a terrarium in that heat blends with humidity to create an unbearably suffocating situation. I couldn't walk 1 block in Miami before sweating like an Olympic athlete, or feeling I was about to pass out. Sweat does not dry there. EVER.

Here in Tally, it can be 105 and unpleasant, but it's not as unbearable as Miami.

I'd rather be here.

12. Is it against the law to kick Rick Scott's criminal thief ass?

:)

16. No........................

We can hire goons! I sure many Floridians will pitch in. He is a Fool.

19. He's definitely an evil idiot

17. One of the things I love about the city of Tallahassee are the trees

Even with development getting underway, the people still try to keep trees as part of every building process, preserving the existing ones where possible and requiring planting new ones.

I knew you had thought about moving to Tallahassee, but I had not realized you were up here. :hi:

9. and here in the pnw it's acting like April

66 and mostly cloudy. upper 40's at night, soil temp is 60 :( 2 days of sunshine out of the last 14.
I'll be laying out black plastic on the garden beds today, so maybe I can get the soil temps up enough to plant.

13. It's darn near chilly here in the DFW area, only 95 right now

Expected high 103.

[kestrel91316]

15. That's nuthin'. We see 105F here ALL THE TIME, and even with a goodly

amount of humidity.

Our area all-time high is 119F. And at temps like that, humidity is irrelevant. It's just plain dangerous.
