Bill Nye the science dude said there was a 30 degree temp drop in one day somewhere today.

[lonestarnot]

Where was that? He's on Eddie's show right now for west coasters. Wow that science dude is a duzy! Bill Nye the Science Guy!

[Lifelong Protester]

1. It was D. C.

[lonestarnot]

2. Holy crap! From what to what if you know.

[lonestarnot]

3. I see that it was 97 to 74 degrees.and it was a 23 degree drop in one day

[Kennah]

4. Wouldn't that be a 23 degree drop?

[lonestarnot]

5. Yes, one finger still having a problem on left hand, so where did Bill Nye get a 30 degree drop.

Will look again and edit my bad typo. Thank you.

[Kennah]

9. Please understand, I still think the radical swings in temperature are cause for alarm

I like the cooler temps we've been having here in Olympia, but I am fearful about what it means.

[fizzgig]

18. i feel the same way about the heat we're getting in co

90s and 100s for most of june? this is not normal.

[sarcasmo]

32. I agree, here in Michigan we have been going from the low 90's to the low 70's.

[pansypoo53219]

26. that's normal in milwaukee.

you should always be prepared here.

[elleng]

7. Its 82 in DC now;

somehow doubt this.
75 in a couple of MD suburbs.
Its 78 now in my 60 miles nw of DC 'exurb.'
according to weather channel.

[lonestarnot]

12. And the high, do you know what the high was?

[elleng]

17. No, didn't check earlier.

Comfortable here now, but forecast for mid-90s and rain/t'storms here, DC, and suburbs Tuesday and Wednesday.

[4th law of robotics]

35. Over the course of a day?

That's nothing particularly interesting in many parts of the country.

It'll swing about 20 degrees here.

[lonestarnot]

6. One is being forcast for AZ for this week, but didn't occur today.

Rain, 30-degree temperature drop expected later this week By Mike Sakal, Tribune East Valley Tribune | 0 comments

After a sweltering weekend, the Valley’s weather is set to go from one extreme to another and bring rain showers by Thursday.

The Valley experienced record high heat on Saturday, Sunday and Monday as temperatures reached 105 degrees in Phoenix and in east Mesa on Sunday, shattering a 63-year-old record. But a 30-degree drop in temperature is set to happen later this week, according to the National Weather Service.

A 70 percent chance of thunderstorms on Thursday is expected to cause the high temperature to be 80 degrees, said Keith Kincaid, meteorologist for the National Weather Service. The storm is riding into the Valley on a pretty strong low pressure system coming in from California, Kincaid said.

8. the temperature drop was the precursor

to the deadly storms on the Atlantic coast, DC in particular.

[lonestarnot]

13. And this 30 degree drop or alleged drop in one day is becoming common place as goes climate change.

[kenny blankenship]

10. Oh well, I guess there can't be any global warming then

In the ATL today it was 96. And the previous couple of days of 101 and 107 made it feel positively mild. Ninety FUCKING six.

[pinboy3niner]

11. Definitely not in my neck o' the woods

It's still hot here in the SoCal high desert, but nothing like what others are suffering in the heat wave.

We're kinda used to the heat here, but that doesn't mean we don't have empathy for others who are afflicted by sudden weather assaults.

My hope is that all of you who are affected stay safe, and that we don't lose anyone to the heat.

[lonestarnot]

16. I thought people had already died directly due to heat the last couple of days. Maybe I was

having a nightmare.

[pinboy3niner]

21. I saw a death report, too

It was only one--but even one is still too many.

[FarLeftFist]

14. CANADA, June 28th was 100 degrees. June 29th 50 degrees. Following day 85.

[lonestarnot]

15. Where in Canada and is this usual or out of the ordinary for the area?

[FarLeftFist]

24. not sure if it's what Bill Nye said but friend in Canada tweeted

38c one day 11c the next. Which is 100.4 followed by 50. The day after 50 was 85. FAR from normal.

Tonight in Ontario it is 32 degreed and tomorrow will be 84: http://981freefm.ca/london-ontario-weather/

[fizzgig]

19. do you mean between high and low

or between the highs for two days?

there can be 30-40 degree differences between our high and low here in colorado. i wish the high temps would drop about 30 degrees, it's too fuggin hot here

[lonestarnot]

20. I understood him to say "today" as in all in one day, today. Here's to wishing for you!

[joshcryer]

23. +1, normally this time of year it's already 55-60 with a nice breeze.

This is insufferable. 70 degrees after midnight!

[fizzgig]

27. i don't think it's gotten below 80 in my apartment but once or twice in the past month

and still nothing but misery in the forecast.

[joshcryer]

22. That's been happening here.

95 today, 72 right now (12:31AM), that's only 23 degrees, but it's projected to get down to 64 later on tonight.

Generally though 30 degrees is pretty extreme (this is one hot summer). It's usually more like 20 degrees. Though we have had 40 degree flips before!

[lonestarnot]

25. Did it happen today? Still not sure if he was referring to DC. No one has confirmed and I have

been unable to verify but for the one projected here for later this week.

[joshcryer]

29. Sorry! Yes, today in Colorado.

Been that way the past week. But as I said, it's not uncommon here. The mountains have a super cooling effect.

[nenagh]

30. My understanding was the 30' temp drop in DC was not yesterday...

but occurred before the big storm that went through DC...

[mucifer]

28. Chicago did that 102 degrees to 70 degrees with brief storms then

the temps went back up.

[hobbit709]

31. I've seen a 25 degree drop in 30 minutes before. From the high 90s to the low 70s.

That's why the saying "If you don't like the weather in TX, wait 5 minutes, it will change"

[William Seger]

33. In Colorado Springs, the average difference this time of year is 27 degrees

This thin, dry air cools off very quickly when the sun goes down. On June 26, the day the Waldo Canyon fire started, the low was 62 and the high was 99 -- 37 degrees.

[HopeHoops]

34. I experienced an 80 degree temperature increase one day.

It was -20 (wind chill) in New Hampshire when I left. I arrived in Tampa and it was 60 degrees. Fortunately, I knew how to layer. I was walking around in a short sleeve shirt and people were in jackets and looking at me like "how can he DO that?"
