June 2023

This has to be about the hottest June on record.

I remember 2011 being brutal, but I think it was a “dry heat”.

Last June was really bad as well, but I agree, this one is likely up there at the top. Very well could be the hottest given the dew points keeping lows in the 80s several nights.

Summer 2011 was hot and dry. 2011 was a very dry year.

I lost half of our trees.

I think there was NW flow for most of the summer. DPs during many days were in the lower 60s, even upper 50s. The ground became completely desiccated - no natural water even 6-8 inches deep.

That reminds me to begin 2X week tree watering above the sprinkler system. The new Sta-Green MAX, high nitrogen with 6% iron (instead of 2%) is like Gold, or Green for the lawn. I have vitamins and nitrogen feedings set up for the trees until the rains start during football season.

The hottest June on record was June 2022.

Feels hotter this year cuz of the higher dew points.

The higher dew points keeps the low temperature high. One reason why it was warm.

The higher dew points keeps the low temperature high. One reason why it was warm.

But if there's enough radiant heat from the sun, and short nights the lows also can be high.

For example, on Jun 19, 2011, the high in CLL was 102°F and the low was 81°F. The lowest DP was 60°F and the highest DP of 70°F.

In Phoenix on June 23 of this year the high was 101°F and the low was 79°F. The DP ranged from 13°F to 30°F.

Summer of 2013 sucked too.

8-14 day outlook is still very hot, but at least a chance of rain.

The gfs continues to try to spin up a weak low and move it into Louisiana at hour 162, hope that doesn’t verify as that would robe se texas of rain/ moisture

Check out the GEFS though. Lots of rain just hugging the Texas coastline. At least on the 12z.

Cpv17 saw that, kinda weird thats an ensemble shows that much rain and its all over the gulf, but thats also interesting because it could mean an opportunity for a weak system or two potentially, euther way, its definitely looking at least a little bit better for rain

I’d just be happy with some cloud cover at this point. It’s 91 degrees outside at 8pm. Doesn’t feel near as bad as a week+ ago, but my plants are feeling the sun beat down for sure
