OT: The Summer Weather Thread: Is Summer "Over?"

[RU848789]

I'll certainly put in a vote for summer being "over" in the NE US, meaning widespread temps over 90F (or even over 85F) look to be very unlikely for the next 2+ weeks which brings us into early September, where 90+ temps become much less likely than in August. And it looks like we're going to have quite a few days of below normal temps over the next 2 weeks, i.e., highs in the upper 70s to low 80s (normal highs are in the 83-85F range for most of our area in late August), which sounds good to me. Note that the Climate Prediction Center agrees with what DT/WxRisk is saying in the link below.

I am looking forward to this weather and fall. However I never count summer weather out in early September when the US Open is on. Next week looks good so far but will wait to see how the final week goes.

A few maple trees are already showing fall colors here above Boone NC at 4600 feet. Looking forward to fall. Winter? Not so much. We're planning to head east (New Bern and/or Southport) for a few months this winter to escape the worst of the season.

Fall isn't really temps around 80 with sun and beach weather

Unless your definition of summer is having temps in the 90s everyday

Dt saying autumn coming in fast makes him sound like a moron..duh of course temps trend down we are heading to September

If temps were going to be in the 60s and low 70s he would have a point

A few 90 degree days can happen on September, but rarely with the humidity we've been experiencing. In fact, humidity in general is lower.

Game time weather next week looks fantastic
Night football with a slight chill in the air !!
78-80 degrees , 55-58 degrees overnight.
Game will be over before the temp probably drops into the 50’s

Agree, which is why I put summer in quotes and made the point that this was more about above normal summer heat being over, which does look likely. DT said much the same thing.

Yes it does. I usually start the gameday weather threads about a week in advance unless someone else starts them, but this one looks like a slam dunk even 8 days out, which is unusual (but can happen when it's clear that a dry, high pressure pattern will be in place by then).

Fall kinda begins when you first feel that crisp air that snaps you out of teh August summer doldrums. You know then the end (of summer) is near.
