The result of Tropical Dewpoints in the 70s stretching north is this... Current Heat Index.
Current dewpoints. 74°F Bismarck,. 73-75 Minneapolis area. 74 Des Moines. 76 Kansas City
crop evapotranspiration enhancing the dewpoints in the plains.
Check out the 84 we have here and the 91 in Houghton, MI. Don't see that very often.
Temp here at the house is running 78 compared to the 82 at the airport, since we're still damp from all the rain of the past few days. Still lots of clouds, 4th day in a row.
Dew points are around 15-16C here now.. it's pretty comfortable and just the way I like it. I don't like heat with high dew points most of the time (a couple of times each summer is OK)
That anomaly of cold over Senja island (very upper part of image S of Tromsø) has shown on several of those temperature maps. Clearly this is wrong, as Senja is no colder than other islands (and I have statistics to prove that). What has happened I guess ist that one of those new weather stations up in the mountains (Lyngen Alps, some 710 m asl) has been confused with a now discontinued weather station on lowland part of Senja.

i've always suspected this. on ogimet, this station Synop report summary is always on par with the stations in svalbard temperature wise despite being 10 degrees further south and at an elvation of 50m.
So it must be a station up in the mountains of Svalbard (?) or in the colder, eastern part of the high Arctic Svalbard archipelago that are confused with the weather station on Senja island.

Reason: sp
This year is being remarkable for consistent warmth but no proper heat.
This will be the 6th month this year above average.. only May was below average.
I expect August will turn out to be above average as well.. will be the first time in a while that we have had 3 above average summer months in a row, I think
Get ready for record cool for Central/Eastern US. I want to shoot myself in the balls.

Potentially a Record Setting “Rex-Block” to Develop in the Medium-Range… What Does This Mean?
21July 2014
Posted by: Michael Ventrice |
HEADLINE: Models are highlighting an exceptionally strong “Rex-Block” pattern to develop over eastern North America in the latter-half of the 6-10 day period forecast. These patterns are often associated with cooler than average temperatures over much of MISO and PJM for a prolonged period of time during the warm season
BOTTOM LINE: A high amplitude Rex Block is forecast to develop over eastern North America in the medium range. These patterns are often associated with well below average temperatures over the Plains and Midwest, likely to result in another period of well-below average cooling demand. A new blocking index was created to put the upcoming event into historical context. The best analog to match the anticipated state is late July 2009, which happened to be a moderate “El Nino” year.
