4/3 (oops) The cause of this drought is a high pressure system sitting mid-Atlantic which is being caught between southern weather patterns pushing north and northern ice melt/higher temperatures pushing northern weather fronts south.
This high is storing heat out at sea and evaporating sea water which currently has nowhere to go. While we are all needing rain, the likely outcome of a summer weather pattern like this is storms- and storms which have been powered by a continuous high pressure ‘battery’ or energy store for weeks.
This is so very far from the normal tracking of weekly changeable weather across the Atlantic to the Western Seaboard of the UK it is hard to imagine or prepare for - there’s certainly a lot of unpredictability in it - but in basic terms we are likely to be in for a wild autumn after such a hot summer.

That's a long way to go only to turn around. New York JFK Airport is ground-stopped for thunderstorms. Alaska 18 PDX-JFK is diverting back toward PDX after over 1-1/2 hours, near the MT/ND border. This is a quirk of an airline with all its hubs on the West Coast. They have ground crews at other airports which could handle the plane while it waits. But maybe so many flights diverting at once left dispatchers unable to find enough gates.☹️ https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N949AK/history/20260718/1757Z/KPDX/KJFK #aviation #travel #avgeek #weather
stepped outside for one second, it is bad out there guys. Like visiting a city dump where they still burn garbage – smells like plastic and smoldering diapers. A real potpourri of disgusting. Thanks to Mitch McConnell and his buddies at Exxon, elsewhere, this is going to be a new normal #AQI #Chicago #weather #climateChange #wildfire
Just received a text from a cousin who is married to the daughter of the company’s taxi operations manager at central station in the capital city of Kualait (in Central Parkis- something) that #NASA has discussed with the College of Colleagues of Councillors in Conjunction with the taxi service staff about the new distribution system discovered the disruption: that it is hotter than the heavens above ☝️👆 right now.
My SIL is at a church youth camp near Mount Hood and sent me a video of her hiking through a thunderstorm in the woods yesterday. I inquired further and she told me the leaders didn't know it was going to storm.
I reached out to our bishop and we're going to put together a workshop so that the adult leaders can be empowered to know what to look for to avoid this in the future rather than relying on a simple phone weather app.
I don't fault people for not knowing, but now that I know it's a problem I feel like it's my responsibility as a meteorologist to help improve the situation. For now they're proactively texting me asking for updates through the end of the campout. Glad to see they're doing what they can.

Well, it's gonna be another #oppressive #summer day. Supposed to be 87*F. It's currently 78*F with a 70*F dew point and relative humidity at 70%. Also, due to the Canadian wildfires, the air is saturated with a thick and moist #haze.
I have a #trail #race later this evening. Hopefully the #weather eases up for it.
There is an extreme weather alert for this afternoon.
The current temperature is 38°C, and record-breaking winds of up to 160 km/h and potentially destructive hail are expected later today.
I'm going to cram all my outdoor activities into the next two hours, and then lock myself inside the oven I call home.
