It was definitely hot when I left AR for CA. When I arrived in Houston's Bush Intercontinental, there was a huge thunderstorm over there on July 17. Torrential downpours, gusty winds, and frequent dangerous lightning. When I got to coastal/slightly inland Southern CA, weather was great. When I was in San Diego, highs never made it above 70, and lows were in the lower 60s. While Arkansas has had a really hot July (and now we're in August), San Diego and parts of Southern CA had experienced below average temps. San Diego had one of the coolest Julys in a long time. Being back in AR since July 31/Aug 1, the weather back west really spoiled me. It's been a unpleasant summer in Arkansas.cb6000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-10078755401474186332010-08-02T22:53:29.167-05:002010-08-02T22:53:29.167-05:00thanks for the updates Todd.

Can you compare rainfall across Arkansas in the two years 1954 and 2010? Some say it didn't rain all summer in '54. There was not much AC in those days either, open windows and perhaps a fan was about it. Thanks for checking.<br /><br />L.

Although if I would have looked closer I should have noticed that Adams Field reaches 100 a lot of days when no one else does. Wish we could have used the N. Little Rock station instead. As of today it looks like about 100 or 101 is the highest it has been going but the forecast is showing 104 to 105 for the next week.<br />Mitchell McDillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-32238176635396818792010-07-31T08:59:17.821-05:002010-07-31T08:59:17.821-05:00It is Hot!!!

Maybe it will make me fill cooler.<br /><br />Weatherclipper-I remember 1980 like it was yesterday. I remember 1954 like it was day before yesterday. 1936 was a little before my time. Those were the summers that had the bone dry weather that allowed the temps to get to that 105 degree mark. It happened many days in a row in 1980 during at least two heat waves that summer.jimmylee42noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-62942695557127554352010-07-29T19:25:03.811-05:002010-07-29T19:25:03.811-05:00on my brithday on 22 of august of 1980 what was th...on my brithday on 22 of august of 1980 what was the high thansaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-68668123109532166452010-07-29T17:03:00.885-05:002010-07-29T17:03:00.885-05:00The heat is on! Wow it’s hot!
I love the new we...The heat is on! Wow it’s hot! <br />I love the new weather blog. Todd, you have done it again. You set the pace for weather media my friend. I am glad to be on your team.<br />It is hard to believe this summer could rival 1980 and we have not see a 105F or 107F reading anywhere in the state. The humidity and dew points this summer have had a major impact on our weather. I think it’s odd to see one of the hottest summers in history and not be in a drought. Just when you think you have seen it all, we see something new. The dew point is keeping our night time lows way above normal and that is setting the pace for the record heat. Most of us think of high temps as being the big driver for record heat. You have to look at both low and high temps to get the average.<br /><br />With this hot weather pattern setting up we could be in for some of those 105F to 107F reading over the next 4 weeks. We will have to keep an eye out and see if the ground gets dry enough. The ridge could break down or more tropical moisture comes in form a tropical system. This interesting weather pattern does make the weather a little less boring this time of year.<br /><br />Weather Fanatic – I remember 1999. If my memory serves me right, we did not see any below freezing weather until late December that year. I think that was the latest date ever recorded for a freeze in LR.<br /><br />WeatherclipperWeatherclippernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914987.post-35879783539613239402010-07-28T22:10:41.365-05:002010-07-28T22:10:41.365-05:00Todd,

It is amazing that we are challenging the hottest summer ever without breaking any records. I can't remember the last time it was this humid for so long. I'm hoping this next string of heat keeps the dewpoints out of the 70's, but I don't see that happening. It won't really matter anyway if the dewpoint is 68 and the air temp is 100! <br /><br />I'd like to bring up another point that not a lot of people are talking about yet. I know you don't like long range forecasts that try to predict 3 to 4 months out, but it sure does feel like we'll have a warmer winter. If La Nina takes shape, will we see a repeat of January 99? I sure hope not, but that would give us plenty to talk about on Arkansas Weather Live if we are dodging Severe Weather this Winter and Snow or Ice Storms. It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds. <br /><br />I just want to play golf again without drenching in sweat! Doesn't look possible, especially with lows near 80..maybe by late September..<br /><br />The Weather FanaticThe Weather Fanaticnoreply@blogger.com
