Summer 2022 NH / Winter 2022 SH Discussion Thread.

First 30C for Finland yesterday, as Kuopio Ritoniemi recorded 30.5C.

29.9C now in Turku at 14:30.

First 30C for Turku and Riga this year, with a 30.4C high in the former and 30.0C in the latter. Several new 30Cs to come.

Don’t know, don’t care what’s happening on in Fort Collins since I’m not there. Last I checked it was the typical 80s/low 90s and mostly sunny infinity loop that saps all my interest in weather.

If there’s a record cold snap or 100 f in the forecast let me know

Great summer weather across the PNW the past few days! High of 32.5c (91f) IMBY today.

Rain On The Way For Northern And Eastern Australia.
( source: Weatherzone )


Unseasonably heavy rain will spread over parts of the NT and QLD later this week, with wet weather also set to return to Australia’s east coast.
Northern Australia is in the middle of its dry season, a largely rainless six-month period that runs from May to October. The map below shows that most of northwest QLD and the northern half of the NT usually receive less than 5mm of rain during all of July.


This week, however, a stream of tropical moisture is going produce rain over a broad area of the NT and QLD, possibly delivering several months’ worth of dry-season rainfall in some areas.
A few showers will develop over the NT and far west QLD on Tuesday and Wednesday as a cloudband starts to build across northern Australia. Rain will become heavier and more widespread between Thursday and Saturday as the cloudband slowly drifts further east.
The injection of tropical moisture provided by this large cloudband will also help produce rain over a broad area of eastern Australia from Friday into the weekend, possibly persisting into the start of next week as well. There are early signs that some of this rain could become heavy enough to causef flooding as a coastal trough deepens early next week.
The two maps below show how much rain two different forecast models are predicting this week, from Monday to Sunday.


This rain event could cause flooding in parts of the NT, QLD and eastern NSW, including areas that are normally dry at this time of year. Be sure to check the latest forecasts and warnings in your area.

Finland had quite a few 20'C lows that night. Last night we (just barely) got ours though with 20.0'C in Karlskrona.


In other news it's been very humid in Umeå recently despite missing out on the full force of the heatwave. 17.2'C hourly DPs yesterday (17.7'C so far today) with a 26'C high at the airport, and a 20.6'C DP with a 27.3'C high at my PWS. My sensor is rated with a 0.3'C margin of error with its dew point readings but I can't see why the dew point would differ by 3'C compared with the airport other than sensor error. Noticably humid anyway though.

What do you mean by WMO certified? The weather station is operated by Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre. I am pretty sure that it is recognised by WMO.  
By the way, yesterday, Riga airport has registered the same maximal temperature of 31C as Latvian University.
