PWAT Values measure the amount of moisture in the air from Surface to 300mb. It basically says thats how much is sitting in the air without falling. This is is great indicator to see where the heavy downpours would fall and create flash flooding.
NWS Upton: PWATS APPROACH 2 INCHES LATE IN THE DAY WHICH BRINGS THE THREAT FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THESE PWATS ARE NEAR THE 99 PERCENTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
Not me, I love thunderstorms. Right now the sky is partly cloudy but extremely hazy, the storm clouds will build over the next 10 hours for sure. The moisture from the parking lot and the grass is evaporating, creating a sort of steam cloud. Oh yeah, can't wait for the ultra sticky afternoon humidity that's going to come
I have to think thats sarcasm but hard to tell without a face emeotion icon or a "lol"
I'll use these previous posts to think it is. lol
You're definitely right. Not looking forward for another day where it feels like I'm in a sauna. If I want to sweat, I'll go to the sauna in the south of town that I frequent, not out on the street where I run the risk of having offensive B.O.
There's a lot more going on here than an urban heat island - this is a genuine massive heat wave. However, I'm sure the UHI does have a bit of an effect, i.e. something that would have produced 115F in 1950 might produce 116F or 117F now.
The FMI issued a danger warning for severe thunderstorms for Central Finland. Buildings has been damaged and tens of thousands are without power. It passed here already at noon, and it wasn't that strong then. A few flashes and rumble, that's it.
Ok, this is normal in the US, but here it's quite unusual. Last year we had nothing like this.

Think long term, not 1 day or 1 heat wave. Temps would rise because of those conditions heat wave or not. Also think about absorbtion for nighttime low.
Thats actually something everyone can agree on.
Which would generate/produce/enhance more heat? Area of trees and grass or area of concrete, pavement, and influx of jumbo jets every minute. I like the common sense part of that.
Cool, this is what it looks like when a lightning strikes a birch:
