. How are we doing temperature and precipitation wise through
the first eight months of this year?.
Taking a look at the first eight months of 2010 we see a wide
range in temperatures and precipitation across the area. After
one of the coldest starts to any year. The last five months
have seen a reversal with temperatures generally averaging a
couple of degrees above normal. However. Because the
temperatures in the first three months were so cold (about 5 to
8 degrees below normal) the average temperature so far this year
(january-august) is still running one to three degrees below
normal.
Rainfall has also been highly variable across the region with
some areas a few inches below normal while others are several
inches above normal. This can most easily be attributed to the
variability of thunderstorms and how one location can receive
a couple of inches of rain while another just a short distance
away will receive none.
Below are tables listing the average temperature and total
rainfall for the first eight months of 2010 and the year so
far. The 30 year normals (1971-2000) for this time period.
As well as the departure from normal:

. Warmest or second warmest summer (june/july/august) on record
across west central and southwest florida.
This year has been one for the record books as we started out
being the coldest or second coldest on record and now the summer
months (june/july/august) have ended up being the warmest or
second warmest. Average temperatures for the summer of 2010
were 1 to 3 degrees above normal across the region with august
being the fourth month in a row that the monthly average
temperature ended up in the top ten warmest at most sites.
But even with this streak of warm weather the average for the
year across west central and southwest florida is still running
about 1 to 2 degrees below the january to august normal.
The main reason for the record-breaking heat this summer has
been a persistent high pressure area in the middle and upper
levels of the atmosphere over most of the eastern half of the
united states. When this occurs it tends to limit the overall
amount of cloud cover and allows for greater heating during
the day. We have also had numerous days where the surface
ridge axis was located south of the area setting up a west to
southwest flow off the gulf of mexico which helped to keep
temperatures warm at night thanks to the winds coming in from
the warm gulf waters. In fact tampa and st. Petersburg have
had more days this summer where the low temperature did not
drop below 80 degrees than any other year since records began.
Below are lists of the top ten warmest august`s. As well as
combinations of the last four months for several sites across
the area. Along with the normals for these time periods.
There is also number or 90 degree days and some other climate
data for each of these sites.

Rainfall across the region was highly variable ranging from as
little as 15 to over 40 inches. This is typical for summer
thanks to the variability of thunderstorms and how one location
can receive a couple of inches of rain while another just a
short distance away will receive none. According to doppler
radar estimates the heaviest rains this summer fell in portions
of levy and lee counties where radar indicates amounts over
40 inches.

1215 pm edt thu sept 2 2010
. Summer 2010 was one of the hottest and driest summers on
record across east central florida.
The climatological summer season (june-august) over east central
florida was dominated by the surface atlantic ridge and high
pressure ridge aloft. The placement and strength of these features
helped contribute to well above normal temperatures and below normal
rainfall across the area.
. Temperatures.
Daily high temperatures for much of the summer remained near to
slightly above normal. Only a few below normal values occurred.
Mainly from increased cloud cover brought about by weak frontal
boundaries intruding into the area. Much of the above average heat
experienced this summer was due to the unseasonably warm overnight
lows that were observed over much of the region. Numerous warmest
low temperature records were tied or broken through the season. In
the end. All four major climate sites in east central florida had
one of the warmest summer average minimum temperature values on
record. Melbourne had the warmest of these with an average seasonal
low temperature value of 76. 1 degrees fahrenheit which broke the
previous record of 75. 0 degrees set in 2005. Daytona beach.
Orlando. And vero beach all had average summer minimum temperature
values that ranked as second warmest on record (75. 0. 74. 8. And
74. 8 degrees fahrenheit respectively).
Overall the average seasonal temperature departures were around 2
degrees above normal across the region. Daytona beach was 2. 0
degrees above normal with an average temperature of 83. 0 degrees
fahrenheit. Orlando was 1. 8 degrees above normal with an average
temperature of 83. 8 degrees fahrenheit. Melbourne was 2. 7 degrees
above normal with an average temperature of 83. 5. Vero beach had its
hottest summer on record with an avaerage of 83. 1 degrees which was
1. 9 above normal. Previous record was 82. 7 in 1998. The values for
daytona beach. Orlando. And melbourne made 2010 as their second
hottest summers on record.
Top 5 hottest summer (jun-aug) average temperature rankings in
degrees fahrenheit and last year set:

*Tied 1987
A few stations in the nws cooperative network incurred there hottest
summer also in 2010. Titusville had an average summer temperature of
84. 9 degrees. Surpassing the old record of 84. 5 in 1945. The fort
pierce water plant came in at 83. 1 and just topped the previous
record of 83. 0 degrees in 1924. The stuart averaged 84. 3 degrees to
also reach number 1 on the hot summer list. 84. 1 in 1942 was the
previous hottest. Records for titusville and fort pierce go back to
1901 and stuart to 1936.
There were a couple main contributing factors to these above normal
temperatures experienced this summer. One was a dominate high
pressure ridge aloft over the southeastern united states which
helped suppress afternoon shower and thunderstorm activity. This
allowed for more sunshine and daytime heating across the area.
Another was a favorable position of the surface atlantic high
pressure ridge for easterly flow across east central florida for
much of the season. This helped contribute to warmer overnight lows
across the area.
An interesting side note to these well above normal summer
temperatures is the fact that the year started with one of the
coldest winters on record. This has led to one of the larger swings
in average temperatures from the beginning to the middle of the year
since records across the region began.
Comparison of average temperatures during the 2009-2010 winter season
and 2010 summer season (temperatures in degrees fahrenheit):

melbourne 58. 5/5th coldest 83. 5/2nd hottest
vero beach 59. 9/5th coldest 83. 1/hottest
. Rainfall.
The average position of the surface atlantic high pressure ridge
from june to july was favorable for well inland movement of the east
coast sea breeze. This concentrated more scattered afternoon
convection toward the interior and western portions of central
florida. This combined with the intrusion of several dry airmasses
and increased subsidence from a dominate upper level ridge aloft
which contributed to one of more drier starts to summer on record.
Especially along the east central florida coastline. By august the
surface ridge shifted southward and with the help of a couple of
weak frontal boundaries allowed for more normal rainfall amounts as
precipitation became more widespread. However this was not enough to
make up for the rainfall deficits from earlier in the season and
therefore the end of summer precipitation totals were below normal.
Orlando received 13. 11 inches of rainfall through the season which
ranked it as its driest summer on record. Breaking the previous
record of 13. 26 inches set in 1952. Titusville also had its driest
summer on record with a meager 9. 39 inches of observed rainfall
which was 11 inches below normal (previous record was 10. 08 inches
in 1950). Melbourne ranked as 6th driest with 9. 72 inches of
rainfall and vero beach had its 3rd driest summer with 9. 67 inches.
The driest summers on record for these sites were 8. 28 inches in
1993 for melbourne and 8. 24 inches in 1950 for vero beach.

. August 2010 continued the above normal summer warmth with more
widespread and near normal rainfall amounts across east central
florida.
The variance in the position of the atlantic high pressure ridge
drove a more uniform coverage of rainfall across the area. Feedbacks
from an upper-level high pressure ridge and abundant moisture near
the surface helped to keep average temperatures warmer than normal
during august.
. Temperatures.
A frontal boundary was positioned over northern florida at the
beginning of the month. And this acted to keep the area in a
predominant southwesterly flow as the front lifted to the north.
Maximum temperatures began the month in the mid to upper
90s. Before dropping into the low to mid 90s as a result of this
reinforcement of warm air making its way across the peninsula.
Temperatures remained above normal for most of the month across the
area. As shown by all four climate sites in east central
florida. Breaking the top 5 for warmest average temperature in
august. Vero beach broke their record warm average monthly
temperature at 83. 6 degrees. Average monthly temperatures across the
area ended up around 1. 5 to 2. 5 degrees above normal. However it was
not the daytime temperatures that were so extreme. But the
unseasonably warm overnight lows that contributed to these above
average values.
An average southward placement of the atlantic high pressure ridge
axis provided a more persistent southerly to southwesterly flow
across east central florida. However. The flow did periodically
become easterly as the high pressure axis fluctuated to the north on
occasion. The plethora of moisture in the low levels of the
atmosphere kept nighttime temperatures above normal. As several
record warm low temperatures were either tied or broken. The
greatest number of these occurred at daytona beach with a total of 7
highest low records set or tied. The average monthly minimum
temperature was the highest on record for both daytona beach and
melbourne at 76. 1 and 76. 5 degrees fahrenheit respectively. Further
inland orlando had the 2nd warmest average monthly low temperature
with a value of 75. 7 degrees fahrenheit. Vero beach set their 3rd
highest average monthly minimum temperature at 75. 2 degrees
fahrenheit.
Overall. Daytona beach had an average monthly temperature of 83. 3
degrees fahrenheit which was 1. 8 degrees above normal. This made for
the 4th warmest august on record at this site. Orlando had an
average monthly temperature of 83. 9 degrees fahrenheit which was 1. 4
degrees above normal and ranked the month as the 4th warmest on
record. Melbourne had their 2nd warmest august on record with an
average monthly temperature of 83. 8 degrees fahrenheit which was 2. 4
degrees above normal. Vero beach had their warmest august ever
recorded with an average temperature of 83. 6 degrees fahrenheit
which was 2. 0 degrees above average.
Top 5 warmest august average temperature rankings in degrees
fahrenheit and last year set:

. Rainfall.
The front that moved into northern florida at the beginning of the
month brought a quick shot of rain into the area. The southwesterly
flow that this front brought. Even upon its exit from the area to
the north. Allowed for more rainfall across east central florida
than in june and july. Rainfall observations were therefore more
widespread and closer to normal than experienced during the previous
two months. Convergence of boundaries and sea breeze fronts occurred
further east than earlier in the summer because of the greater
westerly component to the flow that occurred during august. The
middle of the month saw a large scale front progress into northern
florida and produce multiple days of precipitation and steady
rainfall across the region. However. Above average temperatures in
the mid to upper levels of the atmosphere limited instability and
therefore thunderstorm coverage and intensity.
Even though rainfall amounts were greater than what occurred in the
previous two months and more widespread in coverage. August still
experienced an overall deficit in rainfall across east central
florida. The greatest lack of precipitation continued along brevard
county into indian river and northern saint lucie counties. Vero
beach had their 9th driest august with 2. 89 inches of rainfall. Vero
beach`s all time driest august on record is 1. 22 inches in
1980.
