Hottest temp this summer.......101 degrees

Highest temp 102 /27- 90 degree days

Well this has not been a hot summer so far and I don't expect it to be this year so here is my prediction the way the pattern has been this year 15 days in the 90's or hotter and the hottest temperature this summer will be 98 degrees. thank you and good luck to all of you.
90's + =15 days
98 degrees hottest temperature

just a guess.....
days-28
high-103

days=17

I might as well throw my hat into the ring.

My guestimate (or better yet, my hope!) 20 days at 90+ with the highest temp of 100.

Number of days - 17
Highest temp - 100 on Aug 12th (just to beat that weak record)

I will go with the trend for a cooler year this year, but the average temps in this decade have been higher later into august.  Maybe the last couple of years in the decade will average it out.

How many 90 degree days between July 16th and August 31st?       15

What will the hottest temperature be this summer?           105

I'm sure Scott and I came by our exact same guesses using vastly different methods!!!  LOL!!  I can assure you mine was definitely random- no educated guesses here!!

correction jeremy, kci has hit 90 just 3 times so far, not 4.

murph

---------------

Murph,

You are correct. I just changed it for the correction. 

Gary

My guess came from watching how many june bugs hit the outdoor light in a 15 minute period last night.  Clearly they are keenly aware of the Great Lakes ULL in this pattern and subsequent associated long term longwave and the dominant NW flow that should come back in August.

I did notice at one point they alligned in a pattern of "SS", but I dismissed it as a climate norm.

Nature as all the answers, just have to observe.  LOL.

UG!!!  June Bugs!!  I'm not scared of snakes or spiders, but June bugs petrify me!!!  I think it's cause they fly around and stick to your hair... thanks for the memories Scott!  LOL!!

days over 90 = 31

14 days over 90
High temp 96

16 times
95.7 degrees  ... j/k I know rules say whole temps.. so I'm opting for 96.

Days over 90-23

Hopefully that 105 will be while we're on vacation in the mountains;)

21 days >= 90

21 days >= 90 degrees
103 = High Temp

20 days above 90

i'll go with 19 90-degree days, with the highest temp being 99.

A note on the tropics:  Overall, the NHC did remarkably well predicting the track of Bertha.  Last Monday I made the comment that I'd be really surprised if Bertha made a direct hit on Bermuda on Saturday, as the forecast track last Monday had Bermuda in the middle of the forecast track's "cone of uncertainty" on Saturday.  From today's NHC advisories, it appears the center of Bertha passed less than 40 miles to the E of Bermuda today.  Bermuda so far reported a top wind gust to 48 mph from Bertha, although the latest update from the NHC says that there is still a chance for higher winds there before the storm moves away.  The government of Bermuda has therefore issued a hurricane watch for the island, as current reconnaissance indicates top sustained winds are now just shy of hurricane strength at 70 mph in a rain band that is headed for Bermuda: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCUAT2+shtml/141855.shtml.  Looking at the next potential tropical problem, let's hope the tropical 1008 mb low pressure center E of the Lesser Antilles does not ultimately become a storm (Cristobal) that ends up in the Gulf of Mexico (higher gas prices) or along the U.S. East Coast.  It's pretty far south (currently at about 12 degrees north latitude) and closer to S. America than Africa, which increases the statistical odds that it could ultimately hit the U.S. somewhere, if it develops into Cristobal and does not dissipate.  Long ways off yet.

ok just to verify here. are you saying how many days will be in the 90s or higher? i.e. in the 100s? or just strictly the 90s?

90+ -->> 22
Hi Temp -->> 103

90 degree days between July 16th and August 31st - 25
Hottest temperature this summer - 100 degrees F

25
99

19 days in the 90's
99 for the high temp

I am going to say # of 90 or higher degree days: 21
Hottest temperature this Summer: 98 degrees

Alex from Marceline

We will have 29 days higher than 90 degrees

The highest temperature this summer will be 98 degrees

days higher than 90 degrees: 11
highest temperature: 101

90 + days = 29
Highest temp = 103

Hi, Gary and Team,

Here are my wild guesses:

7     90 degree days between July 15 and August 31
(15  if this means 90 degree or higher days . . . )

97   hottest temperature this summer

Have fun computing!  Edna

How many 90 degree days between July 16th and August 31st?   38

What will the hottest temperature be this summer?  104

11 and 99

Gary, did you mean 90 degree days or days in the 90's or 90 degrees or higher (this would include 100's as well).

Entries are coming in with different interpretations.

Thanks.   It will be fun to see all the entries and get the results.  Edna

Edna,

It is all the 90 degree days or higher!  There are 47 days between July 16th and August 31st.  We will have our weather team predictions later in the day on Tuesday.

Hold on, I'm digging around for the crystal ball..


OK, found it....

Days at 90 or better = 19
Highest temperature = 97

Great idea weather team..

My answers are a) Too many and b) too hot.
I guess I'll go with 20 days and 98 as the highest.

90 degree days: 21

highest temp: 101

90 degree days = 17
Hottest day= 97

I am going to guess 14 days and the hottest day will be 99.

22 days of 90 degrees
99 will be the hottest day (wishful thinking!)

12 days of 90 degrees

Highest temp of the year will be 95

15 days in the 90s
101 high temperature

29-102

28 days in the 90s
101 will be the high temp.

24 Days in the 90's
102 as the High Temp


Nate

40 days in the '90's
105 as the High Temp

17 days
96 °F

30 days
100 as the high

15 Days
96 as the high

I say....
19 days over
103 hottest day

20 days  102 will be the warmest

16 days
96 degrees

I'm going 24 for 90+ and 26 for the tie breaker.

Hottest temp I'm guessing will be 104

I'm surprised that so many are forecasting a high temp of 104+.
If I'm not mistaken, Kansas City recently completed a stretch of 7 years without a high temp over 100.  If trends are accurate, there is no reason to believe with a cooler than normal summer so far, that it will reach 100 this year at KCI.
My guess: 22 days over 90 with a high of 99 at KCI.
