US heat wave forecast of 120F [49C] and higher
Jul 14^th, 2023 at 12:21am

This is huge. People will die in large numbers. 50.6 C is a monstrous temperature.

Meanwhile in the North-East floods are ravaging the USA.

Quote:

At 114 hours out (< 5 days), GFS is predicting a temperature of 123°F (50.6°C) with widespread 120°F+ for the central valley of California. This is (was) agricultural land.

The heatwave that is going to happen next week in the Southern US will be historic.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

You would be concerned if this was happening in Colorado. Fat people out and about exploding their fat cells around you in the heat. The worst that happens around town here during our heatwaves is when people walk into the supermarkets to escape the heat and they stink up the place.

Heatwaves are a three cold showers a day thing here.

"NOAA, whose figures are considered the gold standard in climate data, said in a statement Thursday that it cannot validate the unofficial numbers. It noted that the reanalyzer uses model output data, which it called “not suitable” as substitutes for actual temperatures and climate records. The agency monitors global temperatures and records on a monthly and an annual basis, not daily."

Way, way, back in 1979 I attended an Army Exercise at Port Augusta in South Australia. The average temperature for first four days was over 50 Degrees C. Then we had a cool change blow through and the temperature dropped to 42 degrees. We could see the cool change approaching, a visible wall, across the valley towards us. Until it's arrival we had to wear gloves to handle our weapons and metal equipment. Gosh, it was HOT! Shocked

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Every year, we see temperatures in summer reach 95°F and above. In fact 95°F/35°C is the average upper limit of a normal day. A temperature that exceeds 104°F/40°C gets reached probably 70 to 80% of each years. I had an August (which was still winter in Australia) where we got 35°C during the day.

Those temperatures of 95°F and above for weeks on end are quite a heatwave. But, those temperatures are something that we do see quite often in town here. Give it four months, Marla, and I will be telling you about the hot weather we have here. Six months from now, I will be telling you about the hottest summer we have had in quite a while.
