Official high of 95 at IAH yesterday, so the streak made it to 10. Gonna be a nail biter to see if reaches 11 today. 

94 yesterday, so the streak ends at 10. Looks like we've got about 36 more hours until this front makes its way down to Houston tomorrow evening. Tonight should be the last night where the low doesn't get out of the high 70's for a while.

Whole bunch of warm, sunny days with cooler mornings and evenings on the extended forecast for 9/26-10/6. Average High of 92, Average Low of 71. "Second Summer" is on its way out for now. I propose we call the next 2 weeks to follow "Pseudo Fall" maybe?

Front finally made its way down to Houston in the wee hours of the morning. Heat index was still in the high 80's at 10 pm last night. Much nicer this morning. Humidity should really start dropping as the day goes on. Tomorrow should be even better.

I don't quite think the low 80's call for that yet.

So you're NOT a finance bro?

r/Accounting - are accountants considered “finance bros”? Let me know now so I can stack up on vests for when I start working

Enjoying a brief furlough from the blastfurnace with a beautiful 70 degrees in Eugene. I’ll be back on Saturday in time to sweat my ass off at a concert at Moody Amphitheater.

It was 59 this morning.  High of 87.  I'll take that everyday.

Getting hot again next week, but at least the lows stay in comfortable territory. Highs of 94/96/94 Mon-Wed, but humidity stays at 50% or less, so it won't be miserable.

#767

Significantly warmer than average temps this week to start October. Average high/low for this week is 88/66. We're gonna be ~94/72 for a good chunk of the week. Next weak front looks to arrive late weekend. Daytime highs next week look to stay elevated in the low 90's, but lows should get back to the low to mid 60's.

TL;DR: At least 2 more weeks of highs in the 90's. Little chance of rain any time soon.

Are you new around here (Texas)?  This is the fuckery.  This is OUR fuckery.

"Fall" will happen a couple of days before or after Thanksgiving.  It will last 48 hours.  Then, we'll have more half-summer.  Or, we'll have an ice storm.  Dealer's choice.

3rd Gen Texan. Technically 4th, but my great-grandfather was from TN.

96 on October 1st is just fucking unconscionable. 

#776

Average high for Austin on 10/1 is 87. All time high is 99. It's not unprecedented, but a high of 96+ on 10/1 occurs very rarely.

This isn't "same old shit, it's hot in Texas until December." This is prototypical La Nina. Not what I want, but it's likely to be a warm and dry Fall/Winter.

#779

Looks like about 5 more days remaining in this stretch of NeverEnding September until October finally shows up. Though yesterday's voyage into the high 90's was likely the highest temperature we'll see this week, we'll only drop down 2-3 degrees today through Friday. 

Weak front looks to make its way down late Monday. Highs next week stay around 90 but lows drop back down to the low 60's.

I can deal with this since the evenings will be cool. 

#781

The lowish humidity makes the low 90s feel not quite so bad. Yesterday walked 9 holes late afternoon until sunset. Didn't sweat my ass off. 

#782

While the low humidity is nice, we need some damn rain. Vegetation is dry as fuck right now.

Oh I'm not a climate denier. I know.

It was just funny looking through the years like hmmm... that year sucked. That year sucked. That year sucked, too.

#787

Clouds and humidity return to the Houston area tomorrow and Saturday. Not a particularly nice weekend ahead, but solid improvement starting Tuesday. Looks like we'll be done with lows not making it out of the 70's for a while after this week.

Tired of this bullshit. It wants to be nice outside, but it's just not. Yeah yeah the evenings are nice which I'll take, but an afternoon of drinking beers on a patio without sweating my balls off sure would be good.

Yep. It was noticeably more swampy than it has been in a while today.

Not ideal for heading out to the Greek Festival this evening. Gonna be drenched in sweat when I get home. Being the first weekend of October, it's always a crap shoot on the weather, but rarely ever still dealing with heat indices in the mid-90's. 

3 more days of this shit, then looks like we get an extended stretch of low humidity, highs topping out at 90, and lows back to the low 60's.

Blastfurnace '24 not so much shutting down as getting dragged out kicking and spitting.

Always fun to see the words "Record Breaking Heat" on the forecast for tomorrow and Monday. 

 

#793

Welp, guess I'm gonna get another Sunday Swim in this evening. Heat index of 94 at 5 pm. Every weekend for about a month now, I think "might as well hop in the pool one last time this year." Dumbass. 

If the forecast is to believed, one more record-tying day tomorrow and then we get a stretch of uncannily identical days from Tuesday until late next week. Trapped in some bizarre purgatory between Summer and Fall.

You will get 92 degrees pounding full sun and like it

Nothing is more annoying than three consecutive days of fall like temps only to be followed by 10 days of 90s.

Dewpoints in the 40's and 50's for most of the week ahead. Gonna feel much, much better despite only being a couple of degrees cooler during the afternoons. Get out there and enjoy the mornings and evenings.
