Blastfurnace 2024

My dog and I sat under a light blanket on the porch drinking coffee while the front pushed through this morning. Of course the sun is back with a vengeance now, and it had finally been dry enough and I’d sprayed enough to almost knock the mosquitoes completely out, but I get to start over on that.

Today is the Summer Solstice. Longest day of the year.

Starting tomorrow, sunrises get later and sunsets get earlier. Just a few seconds off each end at first. Doesn't really pick up steam until you get closer to the Equinox in late September. At that point we start losing nearly a minute off each end every day.

Sunlight loss is starting to get a little more noticeable. Only 10 more days of sunset after 8 pm in Houston area. 

Today: Sunrise 6:45, Sunset 8:09

8/21: Sunrise 6:53, Sunset 7:55

You can totally tell in the morning... at least mornings feel a little less brutal... well, except this week will change everything :/

what's the standard for a noticeable front, 10 degrees off the highs?

The SCW guys define it as the "first day with an overnight temperature reading of 65 or below at IAH"

Based on historical data (for Houston area), it typically occurs no earlier than 9/1 and no later than 10/15, with the average date being ~9/20.

I understand june and July were great so let's get that out of the way. What have you done for me lately. The 7 and 10 day keep getting worse and worse and now it's getting into my, fuck this bullshit, temp range.  This morning is a sauna and I'm seeing mid 100s later this week with no relief in the 10 day to make me feel better. Fuck August.

I'd take 106 in Vegas over 99 in Houston 7 days a week.

I remember being in Vegas about 25 years ago when they shut the airport down because their formulating for takeoff weights did not go as high as that day's temperature.  Something like 118 degrees.

yep - density altitude is a worry even for the big boys when it gets that hot.

Well fortunately they will be in 72 degree classrooms kept cold during the hottest time of the year. And good thing every school bus in Texas has AC.

I assume this is sarcasm since not all of aisd has full ac.

Busses of course not

Yeah, that must be hell in a prison
