On July 6, all-time temperature records were set at the University of California, Los Angeles (111), Burbank and Santa Ana (114), and Van Nuys (117). Chino hit 120 degrees, the highest ever recorded at an automated surface observing system in the Ontario, Riverside or Chino areas.

It was the warmest July on record in Fresno; for 26 consecutive days that month, temperatures reached or exceeded 100 degrees—the longest continuous stretch on record, said Brian Ochs, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Hanford. (Maximum temperatures have continued to top 100 through the first several days of August.)

If it's so warm then why is it so cold?

And for California it's been cooler than usual this year. Like I said, not one official heat wave and not one day over 110F all year. That's downright weird for us.

Also, the single coolest 4th of July on record with 75F as the highest reported temp in the area and 72F as the lowest high temp reported in the area.

July 2018: Hottest Month in California History, Record-Wet in Mid-Atlantic

Excuse me, I said California and I meant Sacramento which is what I have said in past posts.

Seriously, I can post pix of people at the 4th of July parade wearing sweaters.

Yep, july 4th was a cool one. 25 degrees celcius (you guys wear sweaters at 25?!?). It was 37 degrees 3 days later. Really, other than the first 5 or 6 days, you were above the average high for the vast majority of the month. 25 of the 31 days of the month were at or above the average historical high.

72F is cold here in July. Kinda freaky, too.

It's also one day. If you look at the one day of the month that was cooler than usual, and ignore the 25 that were as hot or hotter than usual, you're doing it wrong.

Where I live we had a day in june that hit 15C when the average is 23. Like you hitting 25 where the average is 33. A week prior we were 31 of an average 22. No one is saying cold fronts can't happen. No one is saying that you can't get a cold wind coming down the coast every once in a while. But when you look at averages, you see that July wasn't cold at all. It was extremely warm in California.

One thing they're good at, eh?

It was hot in the interior of BC this summer too. Or at least there was a couple weeks of record heat, I think.

And the CBC was running around like it sparked their hair on fire. And that was dutifully reported here. In fact the reporting on summer hot spots world wide was very conscientious. In fact some might think it was conspicuously overdone for what I jokingly refer to as the "2018 summer from Hell."

So what's your point Tricks. There were a few unusual hot spells in areas of California this Summer, 'Oh my God we're all gonna die?'

[N_Fiddledog]

Let me be real, crystal clear what I'm talking about here.

When it got hot anywhere in the world this summer there were those here who wanted to make sure everybody knew about it. They wouldn't shut up about it.

I specifically warned them "Winter is coming."

Guess what? It's here.

[herbie]

It was record hot? Was that the week you didn't need a coat to go outside? Or the couple days stretched apart above 30?

It was the week the early sockeye run happens slightly to the northwest of you. Some girl from the CBC seemed to think the summer heat would kill all the little fishies. She talked to some ranger who agreed with her or something.

And I was thinking, 'Cut the crap, girl. We know what you're really talking about. We know why whoever posted the story here at CKA, posted it. Same reason all the other 'OMG it's hot in the summertime' stories got posted this summer.

[herbie]

Oh the red cunthair warmer it was all winter that made a lower snowpack, the other red cunthair warmer it was in the spring so it melted sooner and the long late spring and summer that was slightly cooler and cloudier but had little rain?
No that wouldn't make the rivers low and warmer. In your world one hot day heats a river up and one cold one freezes it.

If you're saying you don't think we needed all those hyped up 'It's warm in the summertime' stories this "2018: Summer from Hell!!!" I'd have to agree with you.

But seeing as we got them, have your heard about Winter storm Avery?

And if that's not a big enough winter catastrophe for you, well...Avery left a Camel stranded on a Pennsylvania road.

I don't think you quite grasp the utter weirdness of a high temp of 72F on July 4th here.

It's right up there with having a thunderstorm in the Atacama Desert.

It was 22 degrees in 2017 on June 8th. Followed by two days of 25 and a day that maxed out at 20 and hit a low of 8.

It hit 24 July 9th in 2014.
25 in 2013.
23 for the 16th and 17th in 2012.

Sure, it's not super common, but it's not this white whale of a temperature you're making it out to be. Again, cold fronts are a thing.
