Babu That's not it then. Umeå just sucks. Yeah, the airport station is horrible. It gets absolutely slaughtered by sea breeze, but lows are colder than any other station in Sweden with a similar distance to the sea. |

Wow 64 h of sun in August is just inhuman, especially considering how few sun the next months will have there.
Also only 81 hours in Tokyo in July, but at least they have winter sun...

August was average, +0.8F in Milwaukee and -0.7 in Madison. Milwaukee rainfall was about normal, Madison was lower. No unusual heat or cold. The first two days were cool, then a warm week, then average or above-average, then cool the last 10 days. Madison dropped below 50F/10C at the end of the month.
The highest dew point was 71F/22C in both places, which is lower than average. 70 degree dews during hot weather is normal.
Days with thunder: 4 in Milwaukee, 7 in Madison
Days with 1mm rainfall: 7 in Milwaukee, 9 in Madison

Although most of you despising high latitude climates, I have created this weather box for Saltdal 2019 in Arctic Norway. Snow depth recorded each morning.
This was the average depth of the snow pack for the months with snow in Saltdal: January: 35 cm
Feb: 27 cm
Mar: 29 cm Apr: 16 cm Apr 20. last day with snow on the ground, 3 cm.
That's not a bad climate, except for the slow spring warm-up. Precipitation and snow depth don't make sense. Are they both recorded in the same spot? With that much precipitation, and temperatures below freezing most of the time, the snow depth should be much deeper than that! I think it would be over 100 cm.
It does make sense because Saltdal is a variable climate. Rainy days in winter is common, and when the low passes, it turns from rainy SW to NW and rain become snow and then it can be dry for some time. At least 65 mm of Feb precip was rain on days with 4-7C, melting snow. Max snowdepth was 70 cm on Jan 19. Despite rain, there was continuous snowpack on the ground from mid-Dec to Mid-Apr. |

Damn. Is that 18/16 day right? Yeah I remember that day... raining nonstop...not the best weather for camping and hiking, though 36 °C a few days later wasn't perfect either  |

Maybe the inhumanity is why hardly anyone lives there.

Really cold Jan-Feb in both Madison and Milwaukee! Record low -32C and both months had avg high below freezing! The monthly average was below normal, but not extreme. Both places were 1-4F below average, with more snow and rain than normal. January was above average to start, and February had a few warm spells. This is in contrast to very cold months such as 2014 where the cold was more consistent, with very few mild days. Madison averaged 21/2 in January and 22/3 in February that year. The coldest days were extreme. I think it was the coldest since 1996. There was a constant wind during the coldest weather, so the wind chill was extreme. Both cities had a max of -10F/-23C which is rare especially in Milwaukee. Milwaukee's stronger UHI and location near a lake didn't help at all, because there was a strong west or northwest wind and the lake is to the east. The wind caused some extreme wind chills below -40. Some places in the area saw -30F air temps and -50F wind chills. Rockford, just south of Madison, set a new all-time record of -31F/-35C. The coldest temperature anywhere in the Midwest was -56F/-49C at Cotton, Minnesota (47°N). Extremely cold, close to the state record of -60F in Tower (but not close to the unofficial record of -64 in Embarrass). Embarrass is easily the coldest place in the state with regular weather data, but the new station in Cotton might come close if it gets enough data to make a climate normal. Both of the -60 degree readings were in 1996. Link to my January post: cdweather.boards.net/post/86560Link to my February post: cdweather.boards.net/post/89765 |

So, the rest of the country. Mainly normal means, or a tad below at most.
Very cloudy in Rovaniemi, but it gets worse.
Yup, not an error. 64 hours of sunshine. What is that, like 11% of possible? Cloudiest August since 1981 at least.
Much warmer May-Aug in Rovaniemi than in Utsjoki Kevo, and especially warmer June. Karasjok is not far from Utsjoki Kevo, and was also very cloudy, 93 sunhrs. Tromsø had more then twice as much sun. |

Saskatoon's August sunshine hours are in and are just about bang-on average. To my surprise it's also almost exactly the same percentage of possible sunshine we had in July (60.0% for Aug vs 60.7% for July this year). I thought for sure August felt sunnier percentage-wise but it looks like I was wrong.  |

Low sun angles need clearer skies for the sun to find gaps between clouds (and also thinner clouds to be able to penetrate). |

Umeå shitport:  While the entire rest of the fucking Nordics were breaking late-august records we had an extremely cold monthly max. Nothing above 22C? Lol. You beat ral31, chesterNZ, and flaminggalah for variability I guess, but they have hot summers. Morningrise had a lower min temp than you did too. Boregust 2019 Crummary  You're on pace to finish the year with less than 100 mm rain. And the average rainy day this year is only 1.5mm. That's terrible  wow, wet year so far. Are you close to breaking rainfall records? Well if this was 2018 then yes, but since 2018 was the all time wettest year, no lol. But on pace for a top 5 finish. |

Seattle August 2019 SummarySlightly above average temperatures in both stations, especially the lows. However, averages are pretty mediocre and this summer was far inferior to last summer and most recent summers. Lows and humidity are pretty good for Seattle. Interestingly there wasn't a huge disparity between SeaTac and WFO Seattle this time, but it doesn't mean SeaTac isn't broken any more. Precipitation was above average. Average high: 78.3 °F (+2.0 °F) Daily mean: 69.1 °F (+3.0 °F) Average low: 59.9 °F (+4.0 °F) Highest temperature: 89 °F (28th) Lowest temperature: 55 °F (23rd) Lowest high: 69 °F (8th, 16th) Highest low: 66 °F (28th) Precipitation: 1.20" (+0.32", 136%) Precipitation days: 5 (+0.2)  Average high: 77.8 °F Daily mean: 68.6 °F (+2.0 °F) Average low: 59.3 °F Highest temperature: 87 °F (28th) Lowest temperature: 55 °F (23rd, 26th) Lowest high: 70 °F (8th) Highest low: 64 °F (30th) Precipitation: 1.33" (+0.36", 137%) Precipitation Days: 5

So, the rest of the country. Mainly normal means, or a tad below at most. Handsome ensoleillement on Utö this year. Normal for the year is 1990 hours. They also seem to like those .9 record highs this year.
Wet at the airport: The SE was severely cucked this crummer. Dry crummer in Kuopio, but still cloudier than normal as well.
Then the biggest Chad of them all: Very cloudy in Rovaniemi, but it gets worse. Yup, not an error. 64 hours of sunshine. What is that, like 11% of possible? Cloudiest August since 1981 at least.
I wasn't too impressed by the Tampere crummer means and the köppen schmöppen subarctic May, so maybe I'll botev and use the centre UHI station instead: Oulu's summers are quite nice. I wouldn't give them an A, if prefer those lows with maybe 3 months of highs in the 70-75 range |

Aug 2019 at Trondheim Airport Værnes had mean +1°C compared to 86-2015.
Warmest Aug since 2015.
1986-2015 August mean Trondheim AP 1986-2015 is 14.5°C; the 61-90 base period gave mean 13.4°C. Jan, Mar and May slightly below avg, other months above, Apr well above. Coldest low in the city (Voll, 127 m residential area) this year -13.7°C
Precipitation 69 %, almost 34 mm came on one day, Aug 13th.
Warmest low 17.7°C, coldest high 14.2°C. A much more stable month than the extremely bipolar July.
And as a bonus, if anyone is interested, I have made the weather box for Hitra, the largest island off the coast of Trondheim region, 572 sq. km. The weather station is on the part of the island facing the mainland. Hitra is partly forested, known for it's large population of deer. Agriculture, fishing, fish farming etc. Compared to Trondheim it has milder and wetter winters, cooler summer highs, warmer annual avg.
