Summer 2022 NH / Winter 2022 SH Discussion Thread.

This summer has been the most boring summer I've ever experienced. Fall can't come soon enough.

Oh my fuck, Reno just got a sick thunderstorm and they’re nearly bone dry this time of year. That’s an hour of thunder and rain rates up to 8”/hour while Boreshitfuckyouchester can’t buy a storm when it’s the middle of storm season. Even while Las Vegas and Needles and Lake Havasu have been getting storm after storms but those places at least average like 0.3” in July. Next I’m probably gonna find that San Francisco is getting storms.

The latest run of the GFS is indeed showing 4.3” of rain in San Diego and 4.9” of rain in Tijuana in the next 15 days, with the bulk coming in the next 10 days. No, this isn’t photoshopped. Huge monsoonal surge expected in SoCal, with dewpoints in the mid-upper 60s. Maybe you are onto something 

Lol @ being forecast a high of 115F with storms. That’s Benfxmth and Beercules wet dream. Death Valley is a tropical fucken semiarid bushland now, that is some searing Pilbara type heat and storms combo.

Weird forecast for Death Valley. Never thought I'd see 'heavy rain' with such high temps there.

But forecasts are one thing. We'll see how it is when it's all said and done.

Another Wet Week Ahead For Australia
( source: Weatherzone )


The negative Indian Ocean Dipole will continue to exert its influence on Australia over the coming week, with decent rain likely to fall in part of every state and territory.
We pointed out earlier this week that a negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) had been declared to the northwest of Australia. This is the climate driver that typically increases rainfall over large areas of Australia during winter and spring by enhancing the strength and frequency of northwest cloudbands.

Well, it didn’t take long for the negative IOD to make its presence known.

The sequence of satellite images below shows a northwest cloudband producing widespread and heavy rain across southeastern and eastern Australia between Wednesday and Friday this week. This rain caused flooding in several states and inundated the mainland Alps with an unwelcome burst of winter rain.
Now, forecast models suggest that another northwest cloudband could develop next week and link up with a low pressure system to bring more rain to parts of every state and territory.
The map below shows how much rain is predicted during the next seven days according to one computer model. While it is still too early to know how next week’s cloudband will evolve, there are already strong signs that it will produce widespread rain that could be heavy in some parts of the country.



These transcontinental rain-bearing cloudbands are likely to be a regular visitor over Australia during the rest of winter and spring under the influence of the negative IOD. Just take a look at the latest seasonal outlook for rainfall between August and October.

Well, well...well, it did rain there! Yesterday's high was 108°F, though.

Furnace Creek ended up getting like 1.5” of rain this morning which is absolutely nuts. They average like 2” a year.

Thanks for immediately stealing the tweets I shared lmao
