I agree.
I am only "rooting for a new record" because that will make it more obvious there's a problem.
When there are more hot days, the forest will become drier and burn more often. That plot shows it good.
Consecutive Days Without Rain
Re: Consecutive Days Without Rain
I generally don't care how hot it gets, except I mourn the snowmelt that turns my fun scenic snow routes into crumbly dangerous slogs.
Re: Consecutive Days Without Rain
Last I heard, we were tied for the record of 90 degree days. I suspect we'll break through, if we haven't already.retired jerry wrote: ↑August 11th, 2018, 4:55 pmOkay, I'm giving up on rooting for a new record for consecutive days without rain.
0.01 inch today so 2018 is out of the running
I'm switching to number of days 90 F or greater

The record is 29 in 2015, we're at 26, we'll blast through the old record within a week.
Before 2015 the record was 24 in 2009. We seem to be breaking this record every few years. Global warming is my friend.

Re: Consecutive Days Without Rain
we broke the record, this is much more fulfilling than rooting for record consecutive days without rain
Not that I like it's getting hotter, more like it's becoming more obvious so maybe we'll take it more seriously.
I like when the snow melts off earlier. Acknowledging some cross country routes in particular are easier with snow on the ground. Like the route from Illumination ridge to Yocum ridge
As the globe gets warmer, there's more evaporation, and thus more precipitation, so the snow will not necessarily melt off sooner in the future.
