Get them arguing with each other and it will be cool again before this thread gets bumped off the first page

Don't understand the Down votes here either on OT? Some miserable mo fo's up in here!

Thanks for the Maps . Figured with school just around the corner ; the rainy pattern eventually takes shape by mid August.

Apparently, explicitly saying, "Yes it is hotter than Normal.", and "If the trend holds this will be one of the hottest Summers the Baton Rouge area has ever experienced." isn't clear enough for some of these dense motherfrickers.

Thats pretty much all people are saying. No one in here is a climate nut. But for some reason there are still posters who refuse to admit that this is one of the hottest summers SELA has had in a very long time

Duh. The government replaced them with surveillance drones. Doesn’t change the fact that water isn’t wet, it makes things wet.

The ignorance of how cool it was until pretty much two weeks or so ago is what kills me

July’s average high war 96.5. Junes average high was 94. Two month average of just above 95. I wouldn’t call that cool.

This thread is like any other. Stout and followers using feelings. When actual data is posted, anger and liberal insults are hurled.

Oh, you poor idiot.

You have people in this thread downvoting legit forecast maps and a fricking Drought Monitor map. You clearly haven't read.

To this point, I bolded that to clarify it, the drought this year isn't as bad as last year's. Comparing the Drought Monitor from the same week last year (I posted that already in another thread and it,too, was downvoted) shows that overall drought is much better across the country than a year ago.

ETA: And it gets downvoted!

I think one thing at play in the DVs is drought data is an average of a lot larger area than a person's lawn which outside of the awareness of lack of rain is the way many of use gauge the drought level of our own property.

I have a SMS based sprinkler system at the camp because we aren't there consistently, the sprinklers ran 3 times last year and so far they have run 22 times this year including this morning. Talking to my neighbor that lives in that neighborhood full time the lack of afternoon thundershowers seems to be making a big difference.

Large area averages are useful for a lot of things but people are more aware of the conditions in a very small area and my lawn in SELA is unusually dry, not unprecedented over the last 16 years we have had the camp but the sprinklers need to be run more often than in the last few years due to lack of moisture close to the surface.

That's pretty much a useless approach, particularly when such declarations get extrapolated out into general weather or climate conversation.

ETA: Especially when people are proclaiming a new Dust Bowl. Basing that shite off of your front yard helps nothing.

ETAagain: Baton Rouge is 2.14" below normal for precip year-to-date. The NOLA people need to come in and shut that talk down. They have a much better gripe.

I get it, I take ribbing for my toys and approach to things fairly well.

That said it is a St Aug lawn on the water with high humidity and I am not there to monitor it so $200 for a sensor vs disease caused by overwatering is a fairly small price to pay.
