Anyone in denial of climate change at this point is a certified window licker.

Completely disagree. As you said, the evidence points in only one direction. The planet is getting warmer and both qualitative and quantitative data prove it. Now if you want to talk about the role of

So damn nice out there when I took the dogs for a long walk this morning. Spending today in an office feels like a sin. 

No shit. I work out under a tree on my picnic table all the time. Days like this are a blessing to do that.

Now imagine you are an 8 year old kid staring out the window at school.

Wait you work out on a picnic table?

Doing planks, I assume.

it's Groundhog Day the next 7 days. Each day basically the exact same as the one before. Sunny, high around 90, low around 65. No chance of rain. 

Long-term models are starting to show a pattern change starting middle of next week with first real rain chances in a long while for 10/30 and 10/31. Too far out to have any confidence at this point.

A lot muggier out this morning than past 2 days. Humidity has returned in basically the only pocket of the country in which most Surly posters live. Check out this national dewpoint map.

Will be high 80's and elevated humidity until some drier air moves in Saturday. 

Temps ~10 degrees above average and abnormally humid to start next week and then 50/50 rain chances Wednesday-Saturday, though it will be a total crapshoot of where rain falls and how much.  Euro model has Houston area getting just 0.5" total, while Austin gets 1.5" and College Station gets 3".

30% chance of rain next Wednesday and 50% next Thursday for Houston area. If those don't pan out, we'll have made it the entire month of October without a single drop of measurable precipitation. Daily highs and lows for the month are going to end up averaging 8+ degrees higher than normal.

It seems like there's a Halloween deluge every other year or so.

Felt like early September when I went out for lunch earlier. Going to either tie or come up just a degree short of setting a new record high today. 90/70 when the average for October 25th is 80/58. 

Looks pretty assured that this will end up as the 2nd or 3rd warmest and all-time driest October of the past 125 years. 

Next cool front doesn't look like it'll arrive until ~11/6, and all that will do is bring us closer to average temps for first week of November (75/55).

Feels like a swamp this morning. Are we allowed to bitch about that? Because it's some bullshit.

Yes, it's perfectly acceptable to bitch about. It sucks out there, and it's just not supposed to feel like this in late October. It's like we traveled back in time by 6 weeks.

Total crapshoot right now as to whether we get any rain on Halloween and how much through next weekend. Some sites/local news stations have it 30% or less while others are anywhere from 50-80% Thursday through Sunday.

Current 7 day precipitation forecast:

I can save you time wondering about it:

We'll get nothing.

One more record-tying hot day without a cloud in the sky today then looks like we're in for a bit of a shift next week with clouds returning and atmosphere getting a little more disturbed. Still gonna be abnormally warm through the first week of November, but finally have our first real chances in ages starting Wednesday.

Next cool front still at least 10 days out.

Feel like we've said some version of that 4 times the past 6 weeks

From SCW today:

Quote

 

Let’s start with daily high temperatures: the average so far this month is 90.2 degrees, which is on pace to smash the previous record of 86.5 degrees set in 2016. So our days, at least during the 135 years of records we can refer to, have never been hotter. However, our average low temperature this month has been 62.5 degrees. This ranks 42nd all time. That is very far from abnormal. 

What we can derive from this data is that Houston, generally, has had a drier flow this month with a lot of easterly breezes. This has kept dewpoints down bit. Therefore we have had hot and sunny days, with cooler clear nights. Based on average temperature, this month will still end up among the five warmest Octobers of all time—the daytime highs have been that extreme—but comparatively speaking our nights have been relatively mild.
